Working parent workshop on gentle parenting: Reimagine discipline and guidance

This parenting approach focuses on building a strong parent-child relationship through empathy, respect, and understanding. It emphasizes communication, connection, and setting appropriate boundaries to help children develop self-regulation and problem-solving skills by validating their feelings and teaching them how to express them appropriately. Join us for this workshop that will discuss the intention behind this approach as well as specific parenting strategies to effectively address challenging situations and behaviors while teaching children important regulatory skills rather than relying on bribes or harsh discipline.
