Home–School Collaboration in Fostering Student Well-being: Parent Workshop on Managing Stress and Empowering Families
临近期末，为协助学生与家庭调整身心状态、营造温馨支持的家庭氛围，世外国际部近日特邀资深培训师珺阳老师进校，开展题为“成为平静的灯塔：期末状态管理与情绪赋能”的家长体验工作坊。活动通过认知重构、冥想体验等实践环节，为家长提供身心支持与教育赋能。
As the end of the semester approaches, to better support students and families in adjusting their emotional and mental state and to create a warm, harmonious, and supportive home environment, the WFLPS International Division invited senior trainer Junyang to conduct a parent workshop titled “Becoming the Calm Lighthouse: End-of-Semester State Management and Emotional Empowerment.” Through cognitive reframing, guided meditation, and other practical activities, the workshop offered parents practical strategies for family well-being and educational support.
工作坊伊始，珺阳老师引导家长回顾童年中的“卓越瞬间”——是否曾因父母或老师的一句肯定，改变自我认知，甚至影响人生轨迹？结合NLP（神经语言程序学）中的“逻辑六层次”理论，老师阐释了如何在“身份”层面运用积极语言，帮助孩子建立动力与自我认同，书写属于自己家庭的育儿“卓越宣言”。
At the beginning of the workshop, Junyang invited parents to reflect on their own “moments of excellence” from childhood—moments when a parent’s or teacher’s brief affirmation may have shifted their self-perception and even influenced the course of their life. Drawing on the “Logical Levels” model from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), she illustrated how positive language at the identity level can help children build motivation and self-recognition, and guided parents in crafting their own family “Declaration of Excellence.”
在情绪认知环节，珺阳老师解析了“情绪作为压力信使”的角色，区分压力与焦虑，并借助“镜像神经元”原理，说明家长自身状态如何深刻影响家庭能量场与孩子情绪。她鼓励家长学习成为“家庭能量场的定海神针”，通过COACH状态回归内在平衡，提升情绪稳定性。
In the second part, the facilitator delved into the role of emotions as messengers of stress, distinguishing between pressure and anxiety. Using the principle of "mirror neurons," she explained how parents' mental and emotional states invisibly influence the family atmosphere and their children's emotions. Parents learned the importance of becoming the "anchor of the family's energy field" and returning to a centered state through the COACH model.
In the second part, the facilitator explained the role of emotions as messengers of stress, distinguishing between pressure and anxiety. Using the concept of mirror neurons, she highlighted how parents’ emotional and mental states deeply influence the family atmosphere and their children’s emotions. Parents learned the importance of becoming the “steady anchor of the family energy field”, using the COACH state to return to inner balance.
随后的体验环节，家长通过引导式冥想与角色站位练习，从不同视角感受孩子的情绪与需求，增强自我觉察与共情能力。练习后家长表示，这些练习帮助他们以全新角度理解孩子与自我，从而能在日常生活中更从容地践行教育支持。
During the workshop, parents engaged in guided meditation and exercises, experiencing their children’s emotions and needs from multiple perspectives. These exercises enhanced parents’ self-awareness and empathy. Many parents shared afterward that these practices helped them better understand both their children's and their own emotions from a new perspective, enabling them to provide support more calmly and effectively in daily life.
工作坊最后，珺阳老师带领家长学习“能量护盾”心理技巧，助力他们在面对生活琐事与挑战时，建立健康心理边界，保持身心能量充沛。
To conclude the workshop, Junyang introduced the “Energy Shield” mindfulness technique, which helps parents establish healthy psychological boundaries and maintain mental and physical energy when faced with daily challenges and stressors.
正如家庭治疗大师萨提亚女士所言：“家庭是一个动态的能量场，孩子是场中最敏感的能量接收者。”家长的身心状态，直接关系家庭的氛围与孩子的成长。世外国际部家委会将继续携手学校与家庭，深化家校共育，持续推进家长成长支持体系，共同守护每一位学生的身心健康与全面发展。
As renowned family therapist Virginia Satir once said, “The family is a dynamic energy field, and children are the most sensitive receivers within it.” Only when parents maintain a healthy mental and emotional state can they create a supportive family environment that nurtures well-rounded and emotionally healthy children. The WFLPS International Division PTA will continue to work closely with both the school and families, strenghten home–school collaboration, expand parent learning support systems, and work together to safeguard the holistic growth and healthy well-being of every student.
