Positive Discipline Parenting Course

---

It is a parenting  program to help parents connect better with their children and teach them valuable life skills such as  self-discipline, responsibility, cooperation, courage, honesty, gratitude, problem solving and the belief that "I am am loved, accepted and capable". These skills and beliefs serve a child for the rest of his life, in every relationship.

The purpose is to show that children can improve their behaviour when parents learn more effective ways of working with them. It helps people parent better and enjoy their children more.

This method will help you get into the world of children and teenagers to discover what really works and what doesn't work.

You will learn what children and teenagers are really thinking, feeling and deciding based on what parents say and do.

The classes are fun and easy because we use role-playing and discover the tools that work together.

The method makes parents feel safe, welcomed, engaged and involved. 

When you go home, you will be able to apply what you have learned with success in the class.

It is for parents first because it is only when parents feel encouraged that they can encourage their children.

It is a methodology that looks at the child as a person with his own thoughts and feelings, emotions, desires and needs.

The key is mutual respect.

Children do better when they feel better.

In a  6 weeks course (1h30 per week), we will talk about how to:

• get into your child's world

• be patient and consistent
• express your feelings and emotions
• learn from mistakes
• understand the belief behind the behaviour
• focus on solutions
