Practice Positive Discipline - LIVE Online Session

Discover the power of positive discipline in parenting! Explore boundaries, pitfalls of traditional methods, and nurturing compassion.
About this Event

Positive discipline is an overarching philosophy that helps a child develop a conscience guided by their own internal discipline and compassion for others. When we focus on Guiding our children for Growth, we can honor their drive to explore and learn about their world AND honor our need to keep them safe and learn how to act in increasingly "pro-social" ways.

Join us as we help make Parenting Sweet! Come nourish your parenting knowledge and feel encouraged to use effective parenting skills to fit your needs.

Our discussion this week will include:

• What is positive discipline, and why it's important

• The goal of positive discipline

• Establishing boundaries

• The dangers of traditional discipline

We hope you’ll join us!

Program Overview:

The Attached at the Heart Parenting Education Program curriculum training provides parents, child advocates and professionals much needed insight into childrearing with specific tools to help parents learn more about child development, neuroscience, and positive discipline, to trust the intuitive knowledge of their child, ultimately building a foundation that will strengthen healthy child attachment.

Looking for a slower pace or need help with parenting older children?

If you prefer a slower pace through the Attached at the Heart Parenting Program, we are currently running a year-long series that meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month. For parenting students in 4th through 9th grades, we offer Guiding Good Choices parenting workshops. Please contact us at [email protected] or visit https://appalachianpromisealliance.org/parenting/ for information about these or other parenting series.
