Parenting with Respect

A 7-workshop cycle for parents of children aged approximately 2–12 years who want to better understand their children's emotions and needs, improve family communication, set boundaries with greater confidence, and handle conflicts more calmly. The programme is suitable both for those new to respectful parenting and for those wishing to deepen their existing experience.

Participants will take away concrete communication phrases applicable in practice, conflict-management tools, better understanding of children's emotions, and materials for practical home exercises. Individual topics build on each other, and between meetings there is space to try new approaches and gradually integrate them into daily practice. Group capacity is 20 participants; the cycle will start once 16 participants have registered.

The cycle is led by Bc. Ester Bezděk – lecturer, coach, writer, facilitator and mother of three. In her work she combines insights from psychology and respectful approaches to children with her own parenting experience. She has completed, among others, a Bc. in Aesthetics at Charles University, a semester at the University of Sussex (Erasmus), Gestalt Essence coaching training (146 h), P.E.T. Course – Parenting Without Losers according to T. Gordon (Hanka Čechová, 24 h), MBSR I and II, Psychotherapeutic minimum (128 h), Transforming Gestalt (152 h), Holistic approach in work with children and adolescents – Bioenergetics (ČIB, 2025) and Complex crisis intervention (Remedium, 248 h, 2025 – in progress).
