NEW!
Loving Guidance: Setting Limits Without Guilt
We walk a
fine line when we rely on fear to discipline our children.
We constantly ask ourselves, "Am I being too strict
or have I been too permissive?" We feel guilty
either way, and so we spend our time managing our guilt
instead of managing our children. In this workshop you
will learn:
- How to shift from fear to love-the secret to being
firm and fair.
- How to help your children be successful with chores,
homework, bedtime and more.
- How to use the "Four Power" to put you
back in charge and empower your children.
- How to deal with "I don't care" and "You
cant make me".
- How to build your child's character through daily
conflicts.
The skills
learned in this workshop will create more peaceful,
harmonious relationships with our children.

and Teachers. (Minimum 2 Hours)

The Seven Basic Skills of Discipline
 |
Teachers
and parents are being asked to guide children's
social and emotional development without having
the skills to do the job. Imagine trying to
play basketball without knowing how to dribble.
Any subject has basic skills. The same is true
for discipline. This workshop will teach the
"Seven Basic Skills of Discipline: How and When
to Use Them." Each discipline skill evolves
from one of Seven Powers for Self Control. The
self-control skills empower adults. The discipline
skills empower children. The result is moment-by-moment
character development of both adults and children!
Once adults have the basics skills, knowing
what to do in each discipline encounter is guaranteed. For years we have empowered children. Now
it is time to empower teachers and adults.
