Facilitator Information: 

Carol is a Certified Positive Discipline Lead Trainer, and co-founded Positive Discipline of Connecticut and was the President of the organization. She also served as Co-Chair of the International Board of Directors of the Positive Discipline Association.  She has worked with hundreds of parents of all aged children (prenatal to adult), as well as teachers, administrators and staff of preschoolers through high school. She has been a public speaker for over 35 years.  She has two adult sons and a husband of over 40 years. Their relationships continue to grow and benefit from Positive Discipline.

Burak met Positive Discipline when he wanted to be the best, most effective parent he could be, when he realized that what he knew was not enough and sometimes felt helpless, lonely and even angry. The change in his relationships and the way he responded to behaviors encouraged him to learn and teach Positive Discipline more deeply. With this passion, he has worked with hundreds of parents and inspires thousands of adults with his social media contents.

Workshop Description: 

This is an online interactive and streamed video workshop designed for parent educators, teachers, therapists, childcare professionals and others who want an effective discipline approach. This method is based on Adlerian Psychology and integrates social and emotional learning while reducing challenging behaviors. Successful participants will earn recognition as a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator and will:

1. Learn research based and effective tools and techniques for teaching parents how to use discipline that is kind and firm at the same time (non-punitive, non-permissive)
2. Learn how to facilitate a parent class from the position of a non-expert.
3. Gain practice with experiential exercises that help parents go beyond intellectual understanding to be able to respond in empowering ways that teach children.
4. Learn how to use materials and activities in group settings, parenting classes, and individual work with families.
