Parenting the Positive Discipline Way
All parents are encouraged to join us for parent coffees in the fall and Positive Discipline Workshops throughout the year. At these gatherings, parents are offered the opportunity to connect, build community, and learn practical strategies to help with the challenges we all face as we raise the next generation of leaders. The workshops are led by Lisa Herold, Certified Positive Discipline Trainer.
Coffees
Parents of each grade level gather for an Adult Morning Meeting, which includes an interactive discussion of the developmental “yardsticks” of the children, with an emphasis on social-emotional and academic progress, as well as tips for creating more harmony in the home.
Early Years Workshop - 6-Week Fall Series
Early childhood (PK - 2nd Grade) is a hectic time for parents and an exhilarating time for their children as they explore, imagine and discover their world. New (unexpected) and repeated challenges such as temper tantrums, not listening, defiance, and morning hassles puzzle even the most competent adults. When we are cognizant of a young child’s motivation and development, we can respond with age-appropriate methods that are kind and firm at the same time and teach 21st-century life skills. In this foundational course, Parents learn practical tools and researched-based strategies to help with behavior challenges. As harmony increases in the household, so will joy, efficiency, and peace of mind.
Parents Helping Parents Problem Solving Sessions - 6 Week Spring Series
