Introduction

In the summer of 1991, when Rosine Katan attended John Bradshaw’s workshop for reclaiming one’s own Inner Child, a healing and scholarly process began for Rosine on wanting to understand Early Childhood Human Development.

Since 1991, Rosine’s interest in Early Childhood Developmental Psychology has inspired her to study the pioneering work of Alice Miller, John Bradshaw, Pamela Levin, John Lee, and the Zero to Three organization. Their collective work continues to inform Rosine’s approach to education, whether she’s teaching toddlers or adults.

Over the years as Rosine has taught Musical Munchkins classes, (see Rosine’s webpage on Early Childhood Music Classes), Rosine has witnessed the confusion of parents struggling to understand how to nurture their child’s natural human development. Working parents in particular, seem to have difficulty in grasping what’s going on with their child, often because they spend so little time with them.

In response, Rosine wanted to create a workshop for adults which could be used as an educational tool for parenting. Knowing that few parents have the time to take a 12-week college course on Early Childhood Development, Rosine decided to create an hour-long workshop presenting an easy- to -understand general overview of the map of Early Childhood Human Development covering the first five years of life.

The Workshop

In the field of Psychology, it’s commonly known that throughout the first five years of human life, every child creates an internal blueprint for living which they’ll carry with them for the rest of their life. That’s because during every year in Early Childhood, Nature has given each human child a Developmental Stage with its own set of Developmental Tasks, or “homework assignments”, to learn.

Each of these ‘homework assignments” serves an essential function and purpose in a child’s process of human development, which your child will refer to throughout their life. Regardless of whether the results of these “assignments” are positive or negative, Nature insures your child will refer to them for the rest of their life by storing the experiences in your child’s central nervous system, organs, muscles, senses, and emotions in key centers of their brain.

 All of these “assignments” create a blueprint for living which we carry in our body, heart, and mind. Even though as thinking adults we forget we carry this blueprint created in our Early Childhood, it still continues to motivate our behavior, emotions, and beliefs throughout our life.

Once we understand this natural human process, we realize the golden opportunity all parents have in positively influencing the life-long wellbeing of their children.

If parents understand these primary “homework assignments”, something psychologists call “Developmental Tasks”, they can prepare themselves to be parents by learning what their highly influential role can be in nurturing the healthy development of their child. A parent can feel proud of the responsibility they’ve chosen in helping to create a healthy internal blueprint for their child.

In Rosine Katan’s workshop, “The Art of Raising a Child”, Rosine will discuss these primary “homework assignments” and their function and purpose for all babies, 1-year olds, 2-year olds, 3-year olds, and 4-year olds. During this full hour-long workshop, Rosine will also discuss some important ways parents can learn to help guide their child in learning these essential developmental assignments.

The workshop is intended to both educate and empower adults who are wanting to learn how to be healthy and effective parents. If they prepare themselves, parents can help their child create a healthy internal foundation for living.

In honor of the influence PAMELA LEVIN has had on Rosine Katan’s understanding of Human Emotional Development, Blue Gem Music, LLC is proud to endorse the following Adult Workshop:

“EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT 101 FOR ADULTS: an online streaming audio learning experience” - taught by Pamela Levin, R.N. Teaching & Supervising Transactional Analyst, winner of the Eric Berne Scientific Award for her groundbreaking clinical research”

For those individuals interested in learning about Adult Emotional Health and how to apply it to daily life, listen up. If you’re wanting to learn about the process of healthy Emotional Development throughout human life, you’re in for a treat.

Pamela Levin writes, “A good definition of emotional maturity would be: being able to continue meeting the same emotional requirements for ourselves in adulthood that we first experienced in the dependencies of childhood…We are not designed to outgrow the stages of childhood – we are designed to repeat them in more sophisticated form throughout our entire adulthood.”

If those statements sound intriguing, settle into your cozy chair at home while you listen at your own pace to a 10-hour online streaming audio course on Human Emotional Development, taught by the pioneering Pamela Levin. With over 40 years of clinical research and experience, Pamela Levin can teach you how human beings emotionally develop stage by stage, and what to do as adults if you didn’t get what you needed at any stage of development.

As an example of how our earliest stages of emotional development starting with infancy affect our current Adult state of well-being, read this article written by Pamela Levin titled,

How about learning how to express anger appropriately?

Most people are clueless about healthy “anger management”, so here’s another article by Pamela Levin on understanding three different types of anger and three healthy strategies for dealing and resolving it.

Here are some of the topics covered in the Emotional Development 101 course:

• Defining Emotional Intelligence and how to develop it.
• Understanding the fundamental cycle of Emotional Development and how often it repeats throughout our life.
• Explaining how we each develop an “emotional DNA” code and how it governs our emotional life, even if we’re unaware of it.
• Identifying the stages of Adult emotional growth, learning how to recognize your current stage of Emotional Development and how to support it.
• Which aspects of our Adult emotional life need to be the same as those of our childhood and which aspects need to be different.
• How our brain encourages and supports specific stages of Emotional Development throughout our Adult life.
• How to decode our emotional needs and signals as well as those from other people.
• The connection between Emotional Intelligence (“EQ”) and mutually satisfying relationships.
• Which patterns of relating are emotionally nourishing and which are toxic.
• How to develop healthy trust, bonding, connection, intuition, motivation, exploration, boundaries, independence, anger management, reality testing, updating one’s identity, and how our brain and physical body encourages learning these Emotional Development skills.

What is unique about this one-hour weekly course for 10 weeks is that you can pick any time and as many times within the week to listen to the class with your free downloaded study guide. At the end of each one-hour class, a brief experiential exercise is offered to help you integrate the material from the class. Additionally, completion of the course gives you the right to repeat the course AT NO CHARGE, for as many times as you want for as long as the course is offered.

Give yourself the opportunity to learn how Pamela Levin’s course, Emotional Development 101, can profoundly change how you think about your life, your adult relationships, your parenting, your work life, and what you value. You can learn to smoothly navigate this subjective inner terrain for the rest of your life, and as a result improve your wellbeing, your relationships with your partner, your children, your parents, your friends, and your co-workers.
