Five Week Course
The hands-on, interactive course teaches parents*
tools for positive discipline that work!
In this course parents learn how to re-frame challenges, address feelings compassionately, set limits, and how to understand misbehavior in order to tailor their discipline more effectively. Setting their own individual goals, parents learn how to make agreements and design effective consequences to use when agreements are not honored. They also learn how to build their child’s self-esteem and gain cooperation while becoming versed in win-win negotiating and problem solving. After completing the course, parents can continue to find connections and learn in the Quarterly Touchpoints, or be coached individually.
The Parent As Coach Approach
Designed especially for parents* of teens, The Parent As Coach Approach, assists parents learn how to step out of the role of teacher and administrator for their teens, and step respectfully into the role of being their coach. Inspired by the work of Diana Sterling, parents learn the seven ways to improve their relationships with their teens and support them as they grow into responsible, independent adults. After completing the course, parents can continue to find connections and learn in the Quarterly Touchpoints, or be coached individually.
Redirecting Children's Behavior Workshops
These workshops cover a variety of topics and are designed to give parents* useful, practical tools that they can take home and begin to use right away. Whereas the Five Week Redirecting Children's Behavior Course is comprehensive, each workshop spotlights a particular parenting challenge and provides parents with effective ideas in a supportive and warm environment.
*Although the word "parents" is used in the description of the various courses and workshops, they are all suitable for anyone who works with and loves children: grandparents, other relatives, teachers, health care professionals, and ministers.
