As parents, grandparents and caregivers, we are bombarded with theories, advice and programs on how to better parent. The lesser-touted advice is ‘know thyself’, and whilst Dr Maxine Therese has a knack for making this easy, her work is steeped in academic and practice-based research. How does knowing ourselves position us to care for children to all of our greatest potential, and is there a model we can easily understand to help us do that?
Dr. Maxine Therese’s research on the Foundational Needs Model for children will inspire a shift in how you view the relationships you hold with children, as well as how you feel about your own childhood. This evening starts a vital conversation offering deep insights regarding what children really need. Maxine likes to ask the question: What if we have misinterpreted what children really need for most of human history? Drawing on the latest scientific research, philosophy and psychology as well as her own clinical experience, Maxine presents the Foundational Needs Model, which accounts for the complex interplay of the emotional, mental, psychological, spiritual and physical dimensions of children’s lives. Children are communicating what they need always, through their behaviours and actions every day. As adults, when we can identify the unmet needs that lay beneath the surface of children’s behaviours, concerns and ‘symptoms’ we are better positioned to support them. In fact as we learn more about our children’ needs we come to understand a great deal about ourselves as well.
The Foundational Needs Model touches on the theories most parenting books and programs are about, however it is in the synthesis and discernment of these theories that Maxine’s work comes to life. Whether you’ve been practicing attachment parenting, aware parenting, or subscribing to the respectful parenting teachings of Janet Lansbury, you will go a level deeper with Maxine, as she beautifully weaves in research-based psychology, family systems theory, philosophy, physiology, neuroscience and epigenetics.
This will be an evening that provokes much thought, emotion, and most of all, inspiration about how we can be more present with children and grow ourselves at the same time.
