This workshop is a follow-up to our Parents Webinar: Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Addiction.
During the Webinar, communication strategies and theories on games and gamers were introduced. The application of the strategies and theories in a real-life family situation is not easy. Role play is a good tool to help contextualize the strategies and theories for home situations and deepen the adoption of strategies by reenacting them in a safe environment. For example, role play is used to rehearse the diffusion of difficult situations to prevent confrontations that can jeopardise parent-child relationships.
The group size for each session is limited to a maximum of 20 persons as it will be dynamic and interactive. Each session will be conducted online on Zoom. Please be ready to turn on your video and audio for the session. COMEBACK psychologists will put out common scenarios in families and through role-play to illustrate the application of the strategies and theories discussed.
Note:
- For those who have not attended our Parents Webinar, you are welcome to register but do bear in mind that we will not spend time explaining and going through the strategies and theories in detail.
- Each session is similar in its framework, structure and objectives. We have several sessions as we can only have a maximum of 20 parents at a time.
