Part 1: Understanding Power, Feelings and Friendship (Ages 8-12)

When Kids Hurt and Get Hurt: Understanding Power, Feelings, and Friendship for Ages 8 to 12

School-age kids often switch between being the child who was hurt and the child who hurt someone else. This workshop helps parents understand why these conflicts happen, what is underneath the behaviour, and how to guide their child through big feelings and tricky friendships.

Parents will learn simple, practical tools to:
• support kids through “mean moments” and hurt feelings
• teach empathy and accountability
• coach respectful behaviour with peers and teachers
• help children repair harm and rebuild trust
