Parenting with Positive Discipline March 30-31, 2019

All parents are invited to the "Parenting with Positive Discipline" training hosted by the International Montessori Academy Education Center, Spectrum Progress and Positive Discipline.

Dear Parent!

Time for some good news: raising children can and should be an excellent adventure!

It's not some new miracle potion with hard-to-test efficacy, but a classic parenting method developed over 30 years that helps parents:

♥ support their child in being a happy, smart, resourceful, self-respecting, and others-respecting person.

♥ support themselves in being an effective educator and, at the same time, a warm and close to their child's heart mom/dad.

♥ support your family in harmony related to the three S's: RESPECT FOR SELF, RESPECT FOR ANOTHER PERSON, RESPECT FOR THE DEMANDS OF THE SITUATION.

WHAT SPECIFICALLY WILL WE BE LEARNING ABOUT?

♥ We will think about what life competencies we want to teach our children, what our challenges are (difficult children's behaviours) and what ways we have used so far to strengthen positive behaviours and eliminate difficult ones. We will analyze what the results have been.

♥ We will learn why people sometimes act like reptiles - or how does the brain work under stress?

♥ We will learn what a sense of belonging and meaning is. We will examine 4 misguided ways children seek it.

♥ We'll talk about mistakes and find out what the cure is for those who think they have to be perfect, i.e. we'll explore the 4 P's of mistakes.

♥ We will consider the consequences of being only assertive or only polite.

♥ We will learn and practice some Positive Discipline tools that help you be an al'dente parent - neither too hard nor too soft, that is, kind and firm at the same time :-)

♥ We'll find out what "type of parent" we are (what our priorities in life are) and how that affects raising children.

Join us and get comfortable with the fun side of parenting!

- solid skills on how to follow a middle way without punishment and complacency

- A deep understanding of why children are naughty and how to deal with it

- Sound knowledge based on your own experience from the exercises - not only will you know what to do, but you will also be confident that you are doing it in the best possible way

- A whole box of practical tools

- Getting to know yourself better and understanding how you affect your child

- space for implementing new skills and becoming a more conscious and effective parent from week to week

This is a weekend program. Within this time frame, you will absorb new knowledge, practice it, and create solutions to specific parenting problems for yourself and other parents - every few heads is not one. The program includes the necessary theory and plenty of practical exercises.
