There are many parents who are faced with special circumstances while raising their children. It could be how you are raising your children single handedly and figuring out a magic formula that makes you appear in two or three places at the same time. Alternatively, it could be the special way you bond with your autistic child. It could be advice on how to keep your children off drugs and away from bad influence, and so on.
Each one of us has some special secret that we discovered as we parent and that something would be of great help to some other floundering parent. This is where parenting reading workshops can be beneficial to all. You could use this medium to disseminate information on parenting, while you could build a wonderful network, reputation and even finances. If you become good at a few topics on parenting or facilitating, the parenting reading workshops you conduct could become a “hot product” in the market and people would pay to come and listen to what you have to say.
The best outcome from the parenting reading workshop is however, the satisfaction that your knowledge and expertise is able to help some other parent in bringing up a well-balanced and happy child. There are many schools of thought today and each one of them might throw a different light on any given problem. However, parenting reading workshops would be a platform where healthy debates can help in crystallizing the best possible solution on any parenting problem.
If you like to organize parenting reading workshops, you should first start with simple yet burning issues, such as ‘How to choose the best nanny for your infant’, ‘How to choose your child’s first school’, ‘What is the best possible diet of a picky eater?’, etc. There are more serious concerns, such as AIDS and sex education, protection from sexual abuse of children at home, imbibing love of God’s word, etc, which also need addressing.
You need not be an expert on any given topic to be successful in organizing a workshop; what you would need to be is a great facilitator. People can find their own solutions if they are led to them with the right questions and guidance. There may be few ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ answers, but there will be plenty of options to choose from. Hence, you could organize such workshops and have people seek their own solutions – which could be even more enriching than a regular textbook course.
