Teaching Parenting the Positive Discipline Way CERTIFICATION

Become a Positive Discipline Parent Educator

Teaching Parenting the Positive Discipline Way (developed by Lynn Lott and Jane Nelsen) provides a step-by-step approach to starting and leading experiential based parenting groups. This Adlerian-based program stands alone or offers a significant enhancement to any program. It emphasizes experiential activities that reach the heart to inspire deeper understanding and change. 

Learning Objectives: 

  1. Learn research based 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 and 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.
