Encouragement: A 4-Week Online Class for Parents - November 2024

Class Description

Encouragement is the KEY ingredient that makes all other parenting strategies work. And really, understanding how to encourage your child is not as easy as it sounds.

This class is where parents build the foundation for their approach and answer the question "What kind of parent do I want to be?" You wouldn’t build a house on a weak foundation; likewise, you can’t help children develop into capable, resilient adults (that is the goal!) when day-to-day interactions and relationships are steeped in a negative, discouraging spin cycle.

In this class, you'll learn encouragement strategies and techniques to build a better connection with your child. Parents find that many of the challenges leading them to PEP -- defiance, power struggles, screen time issues -- become less problematic when they have tools to foster their child's independence, resilience, and cooperation.

Class Dates

How Much Time Will This Take?

That depends on you. Learning these new parenting skills is like learning a new language; it takes practice.

Reviewing the instructional videos and handouts will take about 20 minutes. The Try This At Home exercises are designed to fit into and improve your everyday life. The online Class Discussions are 1 hour each week. And the Class Discussion Forum takes as much or as little time as you want to contribute.
