Parenting Class Description: Research shows that children raised in families which use an authoritative parenting approach grow up to be the healthiest, happiest, and most resilient adults. Children who perceive their parents to be both kind (responsive) and firm (structured) are at a lower risk for all forms of risky behavior once they are adolescents, and they also show improved academic performance. The bottom line is that children who feel a strong connection to their family, school, and community are less likely to misbehave. Positive Discipline is deeply respectful and encouraging for both children and adults. Focusing on connecting, teaching, and guiding children, it is filled with practical, non-punitive and non-permissive techniques which allow for kind and firm parenting. In this 8 week class you will learn how to encourage your children to be self-motivated, more responsible, and gain greater respect for themselves and others. Participants will also learn about their child's growing brain and how to best parent each stage from birth to adulthood. This class is for families with children of any and all ages.
