NEW! Ten Principles of Positive Discipline
Ages: Adults
Description: Description:
Parents and grandparents come learn the revolutionary
discipline techniques of Dr. Becky Bailey, Ph.D. Come gain a deeper
understanding of how children develop in order to foster self-esteem (both
yours and theirs) by looking for solutions instead of blame. Find out how to
give effective commands so children are more likely to choose to do what you
say and guide children away from tattling and into problem solving. Learn to
recognize the two ways that children communicate to adults and the most
effective responses that elicit cooperation and stop the "Do what I say,
not what I Do" syndrome once and for all. These are just a few of the many
new ways you will learn to deal in a positive way with young children! This
class is facilitated by an experienced elementary school counselor, parent
educator, Certified Conscious Discipline Instructor, and founder of www.ParentChildU.com. Educational certificates will be
given.
