Are you open to learning something new about communicating with children?  

LIVE ONLINE CLASSES

Dates: 14 September to 19th October 2021

From 12h15 to 13h45 – 6 sessions, every week. Q&A and discussion time included from 12h to 12h15 and 13h45 to 14h.

This interactive online workshop of 90′ per session is designed to give participants the opportunity to discover some of the key concepts of Positive Discipline and the underlying motivations of children behaviour.

The objective of Positive Discipline is to provide parents with non-punitive methods to encourage and empower children of all ages, and to help them develop valuable social and life skills. These are especially necessary, having to deal with ‘VUCA’, short for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, and a catchall for “Hey, it’s crazy out there!”

Objectives of the workshops

• Offer an informative, practical and entertaining presentation to working parents with children of all ages (toddlers to teens)
• Participants will take home at least 3 immediately applicable Positive Discipline Tools after each session, which can be life-changing for parents and the family
• Have the opportunity to participate in an experiential activity that helps parents get into the child’s world and understand what works and what doesn’t work.

Positive Discipline briefly explained

Positive Discipline is based on the philosophies of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. These psychiatrists understood the importance of maintaining dignity and respect for all people – including children.

Positive Discipline Books and Workshops developed by Dr Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott, provide parents, teachers and carers with non-punitive methods to encourage and empower children as well as adults, and to help them develop valuable social and life skills.

Five Criteria for Positive Discipline :

1. Helps children feel a sense of connection (Belonging and Significance)
2. Is respectful and encouraging (Kind and Firm at the same time)
3. Is effective long-term (punishment work short term, but has negative long-term effects)
4. Teaches valuable social and life skills
5. Invites children to discover how capable they are (encourages constructive use of personal power and autonomy)

Some testimonials from other working parents having attended previous workshops:

Positive Discipline Workshops are fun, dynamic and experiential.

• You will LEARN
• You will get INSPIRED
• and you will be EMPOWERED to go further.

They are practical and applicable. And with practice, you will progress – slowly but surely on a long-term basis.

We focus together on HOW to do it, with tools that will help you think, feel and learn on an ongoing basis.
