Hello everyone, 

I saw this event and thought of this conversation thread. I know that
Plymouth and Portsmouth aren't so near each other - but wondered if
anyone would like to attend this event? I have attended many 'Art of
Living Foundation / International Association for Human Values' events
before and found these to be very inspiring.

All the best,

Know Your Child

Recently we had this course in Brighton and the feedback from every
participant were amazing, recommended to everyone especially parents.
A brief introduction is below

We often hear parents saying the following about their children.

a) He is so stubborn. He just does not listen to me.

b) It is such a struggle to get my children to eat.

c) Oh they fight so much, I can’t tell you.

d) They are glued to the TV/computer all day.

e) She is so shy. She does not make friends easily

and many more.


Know Your Child is a two hour interactive workshop that gives parents
a glimpse into the child's mind and enables them to find the root
cause of such behavior. Ignorance of this knowledge can be quite
frustrating for the parents and can be detrimental to growth in the
long run. Such undesirable behavior can introduce inhibitions in the
child that he/she may carry to adulthood and even all through their
lives. Understanding the nature of the child equips parents to deal
with such commonly occurring situations more effectively in a way that
the child can blossom more completely while maintaining the joy in a
parent-child relationship.


Date: 6th Dec Sunday

Know Your Child: 12.30 to 2.30pm.

Fee: Individuals £35, Couples £50
Venue: St.Paul`s Square
Kings Street
Southsea, Hants
Portsmouth
PO5 4EE

If you have any other queries please do not hesitate to get back to me.

Thanks & Regards
Suresh Krisshna
