Workshops

Some kids are easygoing and compliant. If yours can be “stubborn”, strong-willed and argumentative you may need more tools in your parenting toolbox. Learn how we, as parents, can deal most effectively with strong-willed children to support them to be cooperative, respectful and emotionally mature. Learn how to protect the positive characteristics of a strong-willed child, while at the same time encouraging their cooperation through some general parenting principles that preserve the relationship with this sometimes challenging child.

Bring your questions, get your answers, let’s have fun!

Create and use successfully a family mission statement.

Learn tried and true tricks to manage the typical, but frustrating challenges to getting out the door in the morning and in the bed at night!

Learn how to handle children’s feelings in each developmental stage, and yours too!

All too often our children sit in a pile of toys surrounded by a heap of tattered paper searching for their next gift.
