Looking for fun & creative activities for your child during the Easter holidays? 🎉

Our Easter Camp will take place 10-11-12 & 19-20-21 April, from 7.30 to 13.30, in Paidiki Gonia Kindergarden. It's for children 3-8 y.o. and lunch is included. You can also book individual days.

We plan to have new activities every day, including sensory & messy play, art & crafts, cool science experiments, board games, group games & of course free play in nature, in the kindergarten's garden 🙂

I'm a playtherapist working with children and my friend Leandra is a teacher & we're doing this together.

Our main goal is to follow the children's interests & provide a space full of stimulating experiences where they can freely explore, have fun, relax and make new friends, in a loving and safe environment 🌸

💪"Parent Effectiveness Training", is an intensive, pioneering program that has helped million of parents around the world since 1962!

❤️Thought the magical and challenging parenting journey, no parent should be alone!

Being a parent is a really challenging job, often overwhelming! Every parent-child relationship is unique. However, being a parent doesn't always mean that you automatically know how to deal with every challenging situation with your child peacefully. Together we will learn useful communication skills to overcome the every day issues, that bring tension in your home and poison your relationship with your child.

Following Dr. Thomas Gordon's internationally recognised model (https://www.gordontraining.com/parent-programs/parent-effectiveness-training-p-e-t/), we will learn word-by-word new communication skills, useful for the difficult times with our children. The objective is to build a warm and strong relationship with our children, based on mutual understanding and respect.

🧠In this course we will learn:

*"My child has tantrums!"
We will learn how to handle children's challenging behaviours (aggressiveness, whining, fussiness, crying, defiance, rudeness).

*"I'm worried about my child..."
We will learn how to respond to feelings of shyness, phobias, anxiety and sadness in our children.

*"My child won't listen to me!"
We will learn how to help our children be more co-operative and responsible (cleaning, tidying-up).

*"My needs are never met!"
We will learn how to express our needs to our children and how to impose limits, without punishment, shouting ot time-outs.

*"My way is better!"
We will practice how to resolve conflict peacefully, without fighting or power struggles.

✏️Benefits for the children: At the same time, through the seminar the parents will learn how to help their children:

*Learn crucial communication skills for the school & their friendships.
*Gain self-esteem, self-respect and emotional intelligence.
*Managing their anger and assert their needs positively.
*Solving problems and become responsible.

About the facilitator: Katerina Pougounia is a certified P.E.T. Parents' Instructor (Gordon Hellas), a Person-Centered Mental Health Counselor (Strathclyde university) and a Play Therapist (Play Therapy International). She works with children for the past 8 years and she is the mother of two young children.

Something great is about to happen at Paidiki Gonia KinderGARDEN! 🤩

We will soon start our afternoon Garden Project which will be super fun AND educational at the same time!! 🧑🏼‍🌾🌻🐌🍓👩🏻‍🌾👏

We aim to spend as much time as possible outdoors while offering activities such as gardening, but also so much more.
Could this be just right for your child? 👧🏻

If so, we want to give you a little insight into the activities we are planning throughout the year:
🌱 planting beds for herbs, fruit and vegetables
🪱 dealing with composting, for example collecting worms, look at the composting processes and use the extracted soil, plus the education behind the process
☀️ build a DIY greenhouse
🦔 creating spaces for our existing insects and wildlife (birds, snails etc …)
👨‍🍳 processing, cooking and preserving food
🔎 experimenting
📚 educational topics like the importance of insects - what can we do to help
🧚‍♀️ fun and creative activities like making a fairy garden
🍏 enjoy the health and mind benefits of spending time in nature
🎒 nature excursions
… and sooo many more future plans ✨

Of course we welcome all children to join us, both children from Paidiki Gonia kindergarden and from all over Larnaca. 🤝

❗️If you want to join, please send us a message with your name, e-mail or phone number so we can organize groups and set the start date. 📩✅

We are very excited and are looking forward to hear from you and our future little nature explorers 🥳

12/12/2022

Η ενσυναίσθηση είναι το καλύτερο δώρο που μπορείς να κάνεις σε ένα παιδί 🎁!

*Δυσκολεύεσαι να διαχειριστείς τη γκρίνια ή το κλάμα του παιδιού;
*Το παιδί σου δε σε ακούει;
*Θες να βοηθήσεις το παιδί να αποκτήσει αυτοπεποίθηση;
*Θες να διδάξεις στο παιδί σου την ενσυναίσθηση;
*Πιστεύεις στη θετική διαπαιδαγώγηση;..Τότε αυτό το σεμινάριο είναι για σένα! 😊

Για γονείς & εκπαιδευτικούς: Στόχος μας είναι να αποκτήσουμε αυτοπεποίθηση, να μάθουμε να ανταποκρινόμαστε αποτελεσματικά στις δύσκολες στιγμές με τα παιδιά & να μάθουμε μυστικά από την παιδοψυχολογία και τις νευροεπιστήμες που θα κάνουν τη ζωή μας με τα παιδιά πιο εύκολη 💪

Θα πούμε:
*Γιατί η ενσυναίσθηση είναι το καλύτερο δώρο που μπορώ να κάνω σε ένα παιδί;
*Πώς μπορώ να βοηθήσω το παιδί μου όταν δυσκολεύεται;
*Πώς μπορώ να ανταποκριθώ με ενσυναίσθηση στις συμπεριφορές του παιδιού που με δυσκολεύουν;
*Πώς θα μάθει το παιδί μου να συμπεριφέρεται με ενσυναίσθηση;
*Γιατί συχνά δυσκολεύομαι να ανταποκριθώ στα ξεσπάσματα του παιδιού μου;
*Ενσυναίσθηση σημαίνει να κάνω ότι θέλει το παιδί;
*Μήπως η ενσυναίσθηση κάνει το παιδί μου κακομαθημένο ή αδύναμο;

Μάθε να μιλάς τη "γλώσσα της αγάπης" ❤️ σε αυτό το βιωματικό εργαστήριο για γονείς, εκπαιδευτικούς και φροντιστές.

Πότε: Σάββατο 16 Δεκεμβρίου, 10.00-11.30πμ.
Πού: Play Therapy, Λάρνακα
Κόστος: 8 ευρώ
Περιορισμένες θέσεις, η κράτηση θέσης είναι απαραίτητη.
Θα δοθεί βεβαίωση παρακολούθησης!

Εισηγήτρια: Κατερίνα Πουγούνια, Προσωποκεντρική Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας, Εκπαιδεύτρια Γονέων ΕΑΓ, Παιγνιοθεραπεύτρια, μητέρα δύο μικρών παιδιών.

Let's ask ourselves: Will my child really benefit from yet another after school activity or class?...
Research shows that what children really need, is plenty of FREE TIME. To lose themselves in free, undirected play is what they primarily need in order to learn themselves and the world around them, grow and become happy & successful in life.
