Devising A Parent Workshop

[AnonyMouse_390]

Hi

 

As part of an assignment I need to devise a parent workshop that focuses on the development of under 2's. I have never had to do or seen a parent workshop and was hoping that you could give me some advice on the format of them.

 

I am thinking of doing something about discovery bottles and treasure baskets, making it hands on for parents. I only have to prepare an outline of the workshop but wondered how other peopele ran them.

 

Thank you x

Any workshop you need to have an aim, and then objectives as to how you plan to meet the aim...ie

bteotwtpwbatowh - translates to; By the end of the workshop the parents will be able to or will have........

 

within this aim try to include ksa (knowledge, skill, attitude)

AIM: To introduce to Parents the benefits of Discovery Bottles for under 2's

ie:

Will become aware of how children discover through their senses (knowledge)

Will discover how these bottles motivate curiosity (attitude)

Will make a bottle to take away (skill)

 

Maybe start the session with parents talking about a sensory experience they remember from their childhood.

conclude this discussion with a bit of theory

Explore a range of dicovery bottles

Make a discovery bottle.

 

Just a few thoughts, have fun is also a good objective.
