This parenting course is useful for those parents who
- have not had any experience regarding care of a child,
- had negative experiences from their own childhood and want
to change that for their child,
- struggle with their children right now
- have difficulties setting limits
- tend to be too strict and cannot create a positive relationship
with their child.
Parents who learn parenting skills can help children develop self-discipline and problem-solving skills, become more responsible and cooperative, have greater respect for themselves and others. The teachings are filled with non-punitive and non-permissive methods that will build relationships and keep the lines of communication open. It allows parents and caregivers to go through the process of changing how they look at misbehaviour and their role as parents.
The course draws on the practical Positive Discipline approach, on the Faber and Mazlish wisdom on how to talk with children, and on the facilitator’s extensive training and experience as a clinical psy-chologist.
This course is designed for families with children up to the age of 12 and covers these topics:
1. Listen (what do you want for your children, curiosity questions)
2. Connection (be kind and firm, brain in the palm of the hand, connection before correction, how to
deal with big emotions)
3. Belief behind (children’s) behaviour (mistaken goal chart)
4. Questions/Answers
5. When children misbehave (a misbehaving child is a discouraged child; natural and logical
consequences, focusing on solutions, problem solving, family meetings, routine charts)
6. Praise versus encouragement
7. How parents may contribute to mistaken goal behaviour (your childhood decisions)
