Fee: $40 per caregiver for 1.5 hours

When it comes to behavior, life with toddlers and preschoolers can often be quite challenging! Do you find yourself wondering how to handle difficult behaviors? Are you wondering what behaviors are age-appropriate and which ones need disciplining? What does ‘discipline’ mean anyway? Are you wondering about ‘time-outs’, how to use them or if they are even effective? What are other discipline and limit-setting options?

Positive Discipline: Troubleshooting & Strategies

Fee: $40 per caregiver for 1.5 hours

Open

This workshop makes a great follow-up to our Positive Discipline 101 workshop, but can also be taken on its own. In this “open-discussion” class, we will spend the entire 1.5 hrs addressing families’ unique discipline challenges using problem-solving and research-based strategies. Aside from gaining support for your own family, hearing from other families and discussing together about possible approaches is a wonderful learning tool. Bring your questions and a notebook!
