About event
Dear parents,
from March 25, 2026, I am opening a 10-week parent support group at Hájik in Center ALBÍN (Jedlíkova 3429/10, 01015).
Meetings will take place once a week (2 hours) in a small group of 10–12 parents.
Why sign up for this cycle?
Parenting is daily work in a relationship.
This cycle is not a one-time lecture or quick advice. It is a 10-week process that will allow you to stop, understand the connections and gradually apply changes to your daily functioning at home.
What you will get:
• 10 systematic meetings without waiting for an appointment,
• exact dates – you can plan your time,
• a small group (max. 12 parents) – a safe space for sharing and questions,
• specific tools and techniques that can be used immediately at home,
• the opportunity to learn from the experiences of other parents,
• continuous support during 10 weeks,
• professional guidance.
Specifically, we will focus on the following topics:
• How to understand children's behavior - what is hidden "behind" when a child does not obey.
• Behavioral goals and how to respond to them.
• Encouragement instead of praise - how to build internal motivation.
• Why rewards and punishments do not work in the long term and what works better.
• Natural and logical consequences in practice.
• How to be consistent without being bossy.
• How to communicate with respect (tone of voice, listening, conversation instead of preaching).
• How to get out of power struggles and conflicts.
• How to support independence and responsibility.
• How to set boundaries calmly and firmly.
• How to build family cooperation (family councils).
• How to manage one's own emotions and first impulse.
• How to limit excessive criticism and minimize mistakes.
• How to raise without overprotection.
• How to create an atmosphere of respect in the family...
The meetings will include:
– short theoretical introductions
– model situations
– practice of specific skills
– discussion and sharing
– work in pairs or smaller groups groups
– practical tasks at home (voluntary)
The goal is not to be a "perfect parent", but to understand the connections and gain more confidence in everyday situations.
This cycle is preventive and developmental. There is no waiting for a "problem". We work on the quality of the relationship, the atmosphere at home and long-term change. An investment in the program is an investment in the daily functioning of your family. A small change in communication can make a big difference in a relationship.
The group is practical and interactive. It will be a closed cycle and therefore it is not possible to replace missed meetings or join the group after it has started.
