Well-known Finnish psychotherapist and TV presenter, Ben Furman, shares the Kid’s Skills model that is influencing parents, teachers, therapists, counsellors and policy makers around the world.

Kids’ Skills is a playful and practical approach to solving difficulties faced by children. At the heart of Kids’ Skills is one very significant notion—practically all problems can be seen as skills that need to be developed.

Kids’ Skills does not blame children or parents for difficulties. Nor does it eliminate the need for childhood professionals. But it does challenge traditional concepts of the role of ‘experts’.

The 15 simple steps that comprise the Kids’ Skills method show us how to convert problems into skills. These practical steps create dynamic and playful partnerships between carers and children. This method invites children to become active participants in skill-building and solution-finding.

This book is buzzing with ideas, stories and suggestions. Be prepared for refreshing and fun ways that children and adults can come together to convert problems into skills!

Workshop will be held in the Lighthouse Resources Training Room located at Kyabra Community Association, Kyabra Street, Runcorn. The cost of this workshop will be $110 (excluding GST). For more information or a registration form, please contact us at info@lighthouseresources.com.au.
