Hosted by The Wishing Star Developmental Clinic at Eaton Arrowsmith School White Rock Campus
Proudly presenting a 6-part workshop series: Through the Child’s Eyes with Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, R. Psych.
This series is specially created for every “big person” out there – moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, caregivers, teachers – who are growing up young children 0-8 years of age. Created and delivered by Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, Registered Psychologist and experienced, dynamic speaker, the six workshops in this series are meant to stir in each participant the wonder of seeing the world Through the Child’s Eyes. Dr. Lapointe firmly believes that if each of us big people can find ourselves looking out at the world, experiencing and knowing the world, and feeling and responding to the world the way a child does, we are infinitely more capable of responding to children in ways that resonate with the science of development. That is, to do right by our children we need to see the world through their eyes.
Although this series will be sequentially presented in a manner that allows each workshop to build upon the content of previous workshops, each workshop is also “stand-alone” and does not require participation in the previous workshops.

Topic: Knowing and Trusting
The treasure of knowing that you are “being held in mind” brings with it an incredible amount of trust for the young child in their big person. Imagine knowing that your big person so understood you, so cared for you, so had your back, and so wanted to do right by you that you could just sit back, relax, and trust your development to unfold in the manner nature intended! This is what we want for our growing children. We don’t want young children to have to up the ante to have their developmental needs met. This leads to unnecessary challenges and a foundational disruption for the child who is simply trying to grow up. How then do we instill in our children that sense that they are being held in mind? Knowing and Trusting is a workshop that offers big people different ways to think about and approach gifting a child the treasure of being known and of “being held in mind.” This will include understanding key concepts foundational to the relationship between the child and their special big people, as well as a year-by-year developmental understanding from birth through 8 of how a child’s special big people can connect with them in meaningful ways.

Topic: Staring Hope in the Eye: Creating Momentum, Trusting Resilience, Knowing Change
As parents, you stepped into the role of inviting your exceptional children to be deeply dependent on you as you nurtured them to find their place and their way in this world. You helped them navigate change, challenge, disappointment, and triumph. Now, as you look to the future, the focus shifts slightly, and at times this shift can prove alarming to youth and parent alike. The deep dependence nurtured previously begins to morph in the direction of confident autonomy. With this, the parent yearns to trust that the legacy of resilience they have endeavored to gift their child has taken root and will produce fruit. This talk will focus on exploring the themes of support, resilience, advocacy, and changing relationship roles for parents who walk the path of raising an exceptional child. The resonating theme so wisely voiced by Psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld will be that “We must hold onto them so that they might let go of us.”

Topic: Knowing Resilience, Creating Momentum, Trusting Change: Championing relationship-focused care in community-based support of parents and children
For service providers, community agencies, and program personnel, often times the complexity of the challenges faced by the families and children we support overwhelms. It can be difficult in this whirling picture of challenges to choose a focal point for finding a way through. This workshop will blend direct instruction, reflective groups, and didactic discussion time to hone in on evidenced-based approaches to care that really can make a difference to families and children in their every day world. Included will be consideration of the key role of relationships at the systems, community, and family level with a focus on advocacy and capacity building, and at the core of it all, the ultimate focus on the attachment relationship between parent and child. This attachment relationship dynamic will be deeply explored in terms of how it develops, the toll that parental hardship, including parental mental health challenges, can take on it, and ways to nurture attachment, even in the face of adversity.
