Listening Partnerships

Using Listening Partner's more 

Effectively

Distance Course using Zoom Video Conferencing

 

 

 

 

 

Participants will

 

• Observe and experience Listening modelled in each class - in the Support Group part of each class and in demonstrations

• Have a refresher on being an effective Listener

• Have a refresher on using a Listener effectively

• Have opportunities to undertake practice while supported and mentored in the class

• Have a Listening Partner to practice with once per week

• Have a Support Group once per fortnight with other participants in the Course.

 

Pre-requisites

 

• You must have taken one of the Instructor-led Parenting by Connection classes

• Preferably, you have had Listening Partnerships as a result and been practising Listening. If not, it's desirable that you can take the course with a Listening Partner. Alternatively, we may be able to match you with someone who has, approximately, your level of experience.

 

Duration and Time commitment

 

The course will run over 20 weeks, with: 

 

• 10 classes being Instructor-led and the other

• 10 being participant support groups

 

Classes and Support Groups will alternate. 

 

Each class will be from 1.5 to 2.0 hours in duration, depending on numbers of participants.

 

The time commitment, therefore, will be 1.5-2.0 hours of Class or Support Group each week and one half an hour, increasing to one hour per week for a Listening Partnership - so, between 2.5 to 3.0 hours per week. We know how full life can be when parenting! However, this course will support your parenting and should be a good investment of time, as well as help set you up for more and more effective support for the future!
