Beyond 'because I said so' Turning Everyday Power Struggles into Cooperation

You’ve asked. You’ve reminded. You’ve repeated yourself. What can you do when the child still isn’t listening?
Join Foster Love for an evening of practical tools, encouragement, and connection with other foster, adoptive, and kinship families.
We’re excited to welcome Ansley Grant, M.Ed., Executive Director of Behavioral Support Partners, to help us explore ways to encourage cooperation while building stronger connections with our children.
Sunday, November 15 | 6–8 p.m.
Crossroads Community Church | Goshen
Together, we’ll talk about:
Assertiveness for adults: communicating with calm confidence instead of being passive or authoritarian.
Offering acceptable choices: giving children a voice while maintaining clear boundaries.
Using celebrations to encourage cooperation and recognize progress.
Concrete strategies you can take home and use in everyday parenting moments.
Ansley brings more than 16 years of experience in teaching, coaching, and school administration, along with a master’s degree in education and a passion for supporting families through emotional and behavioral challenges.
Bring your questions and your real-life parenting challenges! This is an opportunity to learn, talk things through, and leave with tangible ideas for your family.
We have the whole family covered:
Dinner is provided for everyone, and our regular childcare will include crafts, stories, and plenty of fun at the Community Center’s indoor playground.
Come share a meal, find encouragement, and connect with people who understand the joys and challenges of caring for children.
You belong here. We can’t wait to see your family!
