Self-awareness & self-efficacy

This course is suitable both for parents and for teachers who wish to support parents. It is based on the understanding that parents are likely to be better informal educators and have a more active approach to life and ‘good enough parenting’ according to their levels of self-awareness. In order to enhance their children’s self-esteem, self-efficacy, sense of initiative, creativity and openness to an entrepreneurial spirit, parents need great self-awareness, a readiness to work upon themselves, critical thinking skills, creativity, curiosity and an understanding of their motivations, patterns and preferred behaviours. It is always beneficial to explore any formative experiences which may have influenced values and may show up in unhelpful ways, potentially being projected, often unknowingly onto their children. With an openness to acknowledge weaknesses and flaws and the ability to address improvements in themselves, through new tools, techniques and positive psychology, parents will be able to provide benefits within the whole family and community setting.
