Happy Halloween!

If you were here on campus today, I hope you enjoyed the parade of princesses, pirates, superheros and monsters!
I continue to look for parenting workshops and personal wellness events to post in case anyone is interested. Please do let me know if you hear of anything or have participated in anything worthwhile. I would also like to hear about anything that you participated in that was not worthwhile.
Have a lovely long weekend!!

New page

Hello! I hope you had a fantastic Eid break. Just wanted to draw your attention to the new page added to the blog: Personal wellness. It is a page dedicated to taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of those around us even better. If you participate in something or hear of something that should be added to that page please do let me know!
Take care

Wellness talk

Hello! I hope you had a nice weekend. :o)

It has come to my attention that the Lighthouse Arabia center will be holding 'Wellness talks' that are open to anybody. I did not want to put this information in the parenting events tab because it really is more about you as opposed to about your children...but if you are relaxed how can you not be a better parent? right? 

Please see below for all the pertinent information.

Have a lovely day!

The LightHouse Arabia is excited to invite you to the first in our new series of "Wellness Wednesday" seminars. Due to the popularity of our "Conscious Parenting" seminars, we have decided to launch a monthly series of talks focused more generally on helping people achieve a greater sense of well-being and satisfaction in their lives. 

Please join us for the first talk in this series: 

Topic: Breathe Easier: Learning to Effectively Manage Stress

Speaker: Dr. Saliha Afridi, PsyD

Date: Wednesday, October 9
Time: 9:30am - 11am

Location: The LightHouse Arabia clinic

During this first seminar, Dr. Afridi will discuss stress management, sources of stress, the important role of stress in our lives, and important steps we can all take to move towards greater wellbeing. 

There is a nominal 50 AED reservation fee to reserve a seat for this talk. In order to reserve your seat, please submit your fee at The LightHouse Arabia clinic prior to Wednesday. If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us at +971 4 380-9298. 

The flyer for this event has been attached for your reference. Please feel free to share this information with your community. 

Sincerely, 

The LightHouse Arabia Staff

Parenting events, newsletter and more

Happy Thursday! :o)
I just wanted to draw your attention to the new parenting events listed that are taking place throughout the month of October. If you hear of anything else, please let me know so that I can put the information out there for others to benefit from as well. 
Also be sure to check out the October issue of the counseling newsletter. It is focused on the topic of friendship this month.
Counseling groups start next week. If your child is enrolled in one of the groups during this session you will have already received an email from me. If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to ask. 
Have a lovely weekend!
