Workshop 'Ouders in beeld'

Workshop by Janneke van Bockel on parenting, vulnerability and strength: what do parents need to feel seen and supported?

We know a lot about the developmental psychology of children: how they grow and what a parent can do to support this process. But what if your child doesn't grow up according to the books? What impact does that have on you as a parent? What makes parenting vulnerable – and where does its strength lie?

Janneke van Bockel shows how knowledge from parenting psychology can help when working with professionals. How do you stay afloat as a parent? When do you feel seen and heard? When does outside help really become a helping hand?

With a mix of experiential knowledge, knowledge transfer, reading excerpts and mutual exchange, we investigate together what makes parents happy - and how language and communication can invite or exclude.

Janneke van Bockel is a writer, speaker and parenting expert. She connects insights from parenting psychology with experiential knowledge and always focuses on the perspective of parents in her work. Author of, among others, Refrigerator Mother, Explanation Mother and Invention Book for Parents – books that always return to the core question: what do parents need to feel seen and supported?
