of child behavior and 'misbehavior', effective methods of preventing
and correcting unacceptable behavior. Participants learn sound
principles and proven methods which enable them to increase
effectiveness in parenting or working with children. 'Tearless'
discipline skills are immediately useful for eliminating power
struggles, setting effective limits, and gaining cooperation
- without reminding or yelling. Discipline approaches foster
self-discipline, mutual respect, and promote positive self esteem

| Raising
Self-Reliant Children in a Self-Indulgent World |
|
This eight-session
course takes the issues of parenting and teaching children to
a whole new level! The focus is on insights and practices which
serve as a guide for the often-nebulous challenge of rearing
and teaching children to become self-reliant individuals. Course
content goes beyond issues of discipline to feature methods
for building self esteem, and for teaching responsibility, cooperation,
initiative, judgment, and self-discipline. Participants learn
an approach which promotes closeness, and inspires dignity and
mutual respect. An inspiring series for parents of children
all ages; a must for parents of teens. (Ages 1-16) This course
is a natural follow-up for the Parenting Skills That Work class.
We recommend parents who enroll for this course have either
completed the Parenting Skills That Work course, or have a basic
understanding of Adlerian Principles from prior study.
