 Werkswinkel: OUERLEIDING rakende EGSKEIDING 62.70 Kb
Dit is noodsaaklik om ouers wat vervreem of skei, in te lig oor die impak van die skeiding, asook van voortgesette konflik, op die kind. Ouerleiding hieroor behoort so gou as moontlik na vervreemding plaas te vind.
Ouers kan begelei word om negatiewe ouerlike gedrag te vermy en om veerkragtigheid in kinders te bevorder. Oueropvoedingsprogramme wat fokus op ouerskap het aangedui dat dit lei tot ʼn verandering in ouers se hantering van die kind asook ʼn verbeterde mede-ouerskapsverhouding.
In die meeste state van die VSA word ouers wat wil skei verplig om eers ʼn oueropvoedingsprogram by te woon. In Suid-Afrika bestaan daar nie so ʼn verpligting op ouers nie, alhoewel navorsing reeds aangedui het dat selfs die bywoning van ʼn 2 ure-ouerleidingprogram, ʼn positiewe effek op gesinne geraak deur egskeiding, gehad het.
"Divorcing parents are handicapped by ignorance and the pressures of circumstance and thus have a right to the best information we can offer and the opportunity to carefully think through every alternative" (Wallerstein, 1991:456).
Tydens ʼn een-dag werkswinkel (9h00-16h00) sal aandag verleen word aan, onder andere, die volgende belangrike aspekte:
- Die egskeidingsbelewenis van sowel die ouers as die kind.
- Risiko- en beskermende faktore wat die kind se aanpassing beïnvloed.
- Die mede-ouerskapsverhouding tussen ouers met die fokus op effektiewe en konstruktiewe kommunikasie.
- Die beoefening van ʼn probleemoplossende benadering.
- Die waarde van vergifnis.
- Disfunksionele gedrag in sowel ouers as kinders.
- Wyses om die ouer-kind-verhouding asook die kwaliteit van ouerskap te verbeter.
- Bewustelike en onbewustelike foute wat ouers met egskeiding maak.
- Spesiale faktore wat in ag geneem behoort te word.
Wie vind baat by hierdie kursus?
- Geskeide of vervreemde ouers.
- Professionele persone wat betrokke is by die egskeidingsbegeleiding van hetsy ouers óf kinders.

About the Presenter and the importance of Parent Education 2011 32.73 Kb
Dr. Mathilda Smit is a social worker in private practice, Somerset West. During the 19 years of dealing with family matters she became aware that divorce, as an increasing global phenomenon, is destructive for the people involved, if not handled correctly.
In her doctoral research Mathilda explored, developed and implemented a process of family mediation in accordance with the Children’s Act. Problems experienced due to divorce were identified and the goal was to address the best interests of the child by improving the co-parenting relationship, parent-child relationships and the quality of parenting. From this research it became clear that parents should be educated on what they can do to minimize the possible destructive effects of separation and divorce on their children and that the child should be included or heard in mediation in order for child sensitive agreements to be reached.
"Parenting practices can be taught. Changes in parenting practices account for commensurate changes in children's adjustment outcomes. Improving parenting practices may be the single most common and potent mechanism of change in family-based treatments" (Diamond & Diamond, 2002:54).
"Divorcing parents are handicapped by ignorance and the pressures of circumstance and thus have a right to the best information we can offer and the opportunity to carefully think through every alternative" (Wallerstein, 1991a:456).
In two separate workshops that she conducts countrywide Mathilda addresses parent education and trains colleagues from the mental health professions in methods and techniques to hear the voice of the child in an age appropiate manner.
Her professional services include, amongst others, mediation, facilitation, supervision to colleagues, parental guidance to parents to improve their parenting skills and obtaining the voice of the child in mediation.
