ENDORSEMENTS
As someone who has dedicated my career to promoting nonviolent, evidence-based parenting practices, I wholeheartedly support the Positive Discipline Conference for its commitment to fostering respectful and effective approaches to raising children. I’m pleased to endorse this conference which aligns perfectly with the goals of the U.S. Alliance to End the Hitting of Children by emphasizing effective and developmentally appropriate discipline methods. Come to the conference to learn more about this important and timely movement in parenting.
George W. Holden, Ph.D.
President, U.S. Alliance to End the Hitting of Children
Professor Emeritus, Southern Methodist University
As a Play Therapist, I have seen firsthand how Positive Discipline principles align beautifully with the goals of therapeutic play. Positive Discipline gives Play Therapists additional language, strategies, and frameworks that seamlessly integrate into our sessions. Attending the Positive Discipline Conference has been transformational for my practice. It deepened my understanding of how to guide children (and their families) toward lasting change without shame, blame, or punishment. If you are a Play Therapist looking for practical tools that honor your clients and their parents, this conference is a must.
