The Way of the Donkey Parent Presentation

The Way of the Donkey Parent Presentation will also provide fun and informative facts about donkeys. However, much of the presentation will focus on The Way of the Donkey parenting guidance.

The Parent Presentation will go into significantly greater depth on the background for the parenting suggestions and ways to implement these recommendations.

The Way of the Donkey Professional Presentation

This presentation is primarily designed for professionals such as mental health professionals, educators, and others who work with young people in youth organization settings.

The presentation will focus on the behavioral characteristics of donkeys which we believe make them excellent for equine therapy activities.

The presentation will provide in-depth insight into the foundation research that underlies The Way of the Donkey recommendations that are being provided to parents, teens, and kids. The presentation will also provide insight into how this strategies that are grounded in this foundation research can be integrated into the activities of young people in their organizations and schools.

For Schools

We are developing guidance on The Way of the Donkey as a strategy to use in schools to promote positive school climate or in companies to promote a positive workplace environment.

  • For schools, we are creating a three-part presentation. For staff, the Professional presentation geared for how to implement these ideas in the classroom. Parent presentation in the evening. A presentation for the students followed by a visit with the donkeys. Likely this will be most effective at the elementary school level.
  • We are adapting The Way of the Donkey guidance to focus on strategies employers can use to promote positive workplace environment.
