The Social Factor is launching a workshop series on how to help children develop in a holistic manner.

Join us at Boutique Fairs Singapore from 25 to 27 Nov.

All workshop attendees will get free admission to the event!

Helping Children Grow Holistically through Sensory Play

Play helps children develop the important gross and fine motor skills that will benefit them in their regular psychosocial development. This workshop will help parents learn the important concepts of sensory play and how to use sensory resources to help kids develop the key cognitive skills of thinking and logic.

Growing an Emotionally Resilient Child by Adopting a Strengths-based Approach

We live in a brave new world with numerous challenges that our children will need to overcome. This workshop will utilise the Strengths Cards developed by St Luke’s Innovative Resources in Australia to help parents learn how to build an emotionally-resilient child by adopting the strengths-based approach.

The trainers, Mark & Sue Lim, are counsellors with more than 20 years of experience in the education and youth sector. They conduct workshops in schools across Singapore in the areas of mental and emotional wellbeng and in special needs.

Workshop Schedule:

Helping Our Kids to Learn Effectively (Thu 27 Jan 8-9.30pm)

A new school year brings new challenges to our kids; especially as they are faced with new subjects and new content to learn. This workshop adopts a strengths-based approach towards learning, building on your child’s strengths to help him or her learn more effectively.

Helping Our Kids Make Sense of Relationships & Sexuality (Fri 28 Jan 8-9.30pm)

Growing up is hard – and sometimes doubly difficult for parents and caregivers. How can parents help their children as they hit puberty and balance between providing them a space to explore and keeping them safe? This workshop addresses the psychosocial development of teens and issues commonly associated with puberty.

Helping Our Kids Manage Excessive Gaming (Sat 29 Jan 10-11.30am)

Gaming can be a form of relaxation for many kids. But how much is too much? This workshop provides an insight on the latest games played by kids and adopts a sensory approach towards excessive gaming. It will explore why kids go on overdrive and lose control, and will discuss the stages of gaming addiction as well as how to help your kids manage their gaming.
