Program Delivery:
The On Becoming Childwise course has 10 sessions to take you and your child through to the pre-teens. Each couple receives their course manuals and homework to pre-read and watch the DVD prior to the once a week Zoom live class to discuss the topics with trainer.
Session 1: How to Raise a Responsible Child.
The purpose of this lesson is to teach you how to get your children to take responsibility for their own actions. When your children have all grown up, what would you like to have raised, an obedient child, or a responsible child? The Ezzos have a “fun” way to teach the principles in this lesson.
Session 2: How to Raise a Secure Child.
The importance of the relationship between Dad and Mum is emphasised as children need a secure atmosphere to grow up in. If you are a single parent, Gary & Anne Marie deal sensitively with the special issues that confront you.
Session 3: How to Raise a Loving Child.
‘The Five Love Languages’ are the key to this session. Do you know how to say, “I Love You” to your partner and your children in their love language?
Session 4: How to Raise a Trusting Child.
Fathers are shown what their role is in the family. The quality and quantity of trust your children have in you, is the only legitimate benchmark measuring your relationship with them.
Session 5: How to Raise a Moral Child.
How do we pass on to our children moral values? Where will they get those values from? Moral training, rightly applied, delivers the whole package: emotionally balanced, intellectually assertive, morally sensible children, raised to the positive response from a grateful society.
Session 6: How to Raise A Virtuous Child – Character Training – Part One.
You will be shown how to teach your children respect for Property, Peers & Siblings, Parents, Authority, Age, Nature, Self. Dad and Mum, you cannot lead your children any further than you have come yourself. You will learn what character really is.
Session 7: How to Raise A Virtuous Child – Character Training – Part Two.
This session carries on from the last session. Can you imagine a classroom filled with children who are courteous, polite, kind, gentle, full of self-control, not rude, badly mannered or impolite? Learn how you can work towards this. You will also be shown how children can “interrupt” politely.
Session 8: How to Raise an Obedient Child – Part One
This session combines two presentations. The “Discipline Flow Chart” that is explained in the teaching session and the “Five Laws of Correction” found in the workbook chapter. The flow chart will help parents grasp the principles being taught. Learn the difference between “goal incentives” and bribes. You will also learn the difference between “childishness” and “foolishness”, and that encouragement and skills training are a very important part of correction.
Session 9: How to Raise an Obedient Child – Part Two
In this session a funnel illustration will be used to show what it is like to parent outside the funnel. We can allow our children too many choices that are not age appropriate. The result is that a child becomes “wise in their own eyes” or “too big for their boots”.
Session 10: How to Raise a Disciplined Child
When you give your child a command, do they respond with “yes Mum or yes Dad”? First time obedience is achievable. What is it like in your family? You will also learn about the “5 minute warning” and the “appeal process”.
