Divine Will Foundation, in partnership with Hope Collaborative, is pleased to offer a four-day experiential workshop series entitled “The Secret Inner Life of Children.” These workshops allow adults to catch a glimpse of the world from a child’s viewpoint and understand why this impacts how children behave. Each workshop is free and will be held at the Prasanthi Center for Human Development in Carlisle, Massachusetts. Workshops will be offered on the following schedule:

• Day 1: Tuesday, April 16th - Raising Awareness - Understanding Myself & My Behaviors
• Day 2: Wednesday, April 17th - Raising Awareness - Experiencing A Full Range of Emotions
• Day 3: Thursday, April 18th - Using Awareness to Practice Skills of ‘Cooperation Vs Collision’
• Day 4: Friday, April 19th - Using Awareness to Practice Skills of ‘Sense of Control’

Interested individuals must register in advance. 
Participants will come to see deeper into the secret inner life of children and understand how easy it is for children to make a distorted sense of their interactions with adults. We will learn strategies to support children to feel less shaky inside and instead feel more secure and valued. We will build understanding about why children act the way they do and how we grew from children to adults ourselves. The following individuals, in particular, are encouraged to attend:

• Parents, and all those who look after children from teachers, doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists to sports coaches, educators and grandparents.
• For practitioners in the field, this workshop is accredited by Play Therapy UK & Play Therapy International for 28 CPD points.
