Your self-image and development as a parent has a major influence on your child’s development

Not only your unconditional trust in and love for your child affects his development, but also your own self-image and the way you develop as a parent during your life and thus also set an example for your child. A child with a parent with a razor-sharp self-image, which allows you as an adult to make choices that match who you are, unconsciously gives his child a solid foundation for the rest of his life. Because as a parent you know how to make the choices that best match who you are. Not only the words you use to your child shape how your child develops, but above all the actions and the example you set in all aspects of life.

“A child with a parent with a razor-sharp self-image,… gives his child a solid foundation for the rest of his life.”

However, in today’s modern society, in which many people often live close together, it is far from always self-evident that as a child you were given the space to form a correct self-image of yourself through all kinds of family, social, cultural, educational and economic influences. As a result, as an adult you may still not know who you are, what you can and what you really want and how you relate to others and your environment. As a result, you can unconsciously give your child an unclear example, which makes your child’s own development more difficult.

“You can unconsciously give your child an unclear example, which makes your child’s own development more difficult.”

Fortunately, you can sharpen your self-image at any time of your life, so that new choices will match you better and better. Watching that development as a child can also be a valuable learning process for him, which makes him more resilient because it gives your child the message that development is not something you only do in childhood, but throughout life. With Mirror Theatre, Trias Vita offers adults the opportunity to get a sharper self-image of themselves and supports children and youngsters in developing a razor-sharp self-image.

“You can sharpen your self-image at any time of your life, so that new choices will match you better and better.”

With Mirror Theatre, guided by a coach, you get a clear sense of who you are, what you can do, what you want, who you want to be in relation to others, and how you want to contribute in relation to them. With Mirror Theatre, you get a sharp picture of yourself, so that just by being, you naturally show your value to the world. With Mirror Theatre, you take the steps that best fit your development at that moment. In this way, step by step, you become more connected with yourself, others, and your environment. Mirror Theatre increases your personal effectiveness, resilience, and the trust in yourself and others, which also benefits cooperation. This gives you the opportunity to make choices that suit you, both personally and professionally.

The annual Mirror Theatre course can be taken by children, youngsters, and adults, and is adapted to the participant’s level of development. In addition, Mirror Theatre is also offered in-company and at parties and events.
