Peaceful Parenting 

What:
Beyond Behavior: Looking at the heart of the child

This parenting workshop has the power to transform your relationship with your children by laying a framework for understanding their actions and behaviors and building a relationship through strategies that encourage children to be their best. This interactive 3 session workshop is designed to provide parents with a better understanding of children and their behaviors. When we look beyond a child’s behavior to the inner heart of a child we can better understand the child and, ultimately, create positive changes in our relationships with children.

I will help you shift from a power based model of discipline (rewards, punishments, manipulation,…) to a relationship based view that focuses on self regulation, skill building, and a solution oriented approach which encourages children to be their best. Using Positive Discipline principles we’ll look at brain development, age level appropriateness, and guidance strategies that consider the inner child rather than the child’s behavior. It is through understanding children, building connections with them, and developing mutually respectful relationships that we can truly build a peaceful home where both adults and children thrive.
