Successful IMDi seminar regarding how to raise immigrants' children

On Oct 31st, we had a successful IMDi seminar regarding how to raise immigrants' children in Norwegian society. Ms. Kristin G. Haug, a pedagogue from DNV kindergarten, gave the talk with the title “Strengthen your child’s self-esteem”. She started with the description of “self-esteem” and its importance in today’s society worldwide. Then she differed self-esteem from confidence. From four different types of parenting styles, the authoritative style is recommended by Ms. Haug. From Ms. Haug’s rich experiences with kids, she, with vivid examples, provided parents good advice and several tools to help a child developing a healthy self-esteem. Throughout the seminar, Ms. Haug’s enthusiasm, expertise, and experience inspired the attendees very much and led to very stimulating discussions.
