DATES:
General Meeting – Saturday, May 11th (8:00 am to 3:00 pm) (RSVP HERE)
LOCATION:
The Coast Capri Hotel, 1171 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna.
What they're saying about Dr. Taylor's presentation: “Gripping, thoughtful, witty, on point and poignant is how I felt about Jim Taylor’s lecture on parenting athletes. I learned a lot in 90 minutes. He succeeded in making me aware, and made positive, simple suggestions that I will definitely implement.” Charlie Humphries, parent of elite Nordic ski racer (excerpt from www.drjimtaylor.com)
SCHEDULE AND TOPICS
SATURDAY – GENERAL MEETING (OPEN TO ALL BC ALPINE MEMBERS)
Topic #1: Positive Pushing: How to Raise a Successful & Happy Child (75 mins. with Q&A)
Based on his first parenting book of the same name, Dr. Taylor introduces parents to the use of positive pushing that is very different from the kind of pushing with which they may be familiar. He demonstrates how to push, when to push, and, importantly, when to back off. Dr. Taylor shows parents the Three Pillars of Successful Achievers: self-esteem, ownership, and emotional mastery, and their essential role in raising successful and happy children. In this workshop, Dr. Taylor presents “red flags” in both parents and children that help parents identify when they are pushing their children the wrong way (“Oh my gosh, that’s me!”). He offers practical advice on how to provide children with a positive, caring and motivating impetus to seek out success and happiness. Issues that are addressed include parental overinvestment in their children’s activities, expectations, perfectionism, defining success and failure, and emotional coaching. Parents will leave this workshop with new insights and practical tools they can use to encourage their children to achieve both success and happiness.
Topic #2: Roundtable Discussion of Parenting in Sports (60 mins.)
Jim will include handouts of the dos and don’ts for sport parents. He will also have books available to purchase on Positive Pushing and Prime Ski Racing at the end.
