Connected Parenting Class at Milagros 1/20

Posted January 5th, 2010 in Classes, Events

Wednesday, January 20th, 6:00pm – 8:30pm

This class focuses on the primacy of connection in parenting young children, and on parenting without punishments, consequences or conditional rewards of any kind.

Look deeply past difficult behaviors to discover the underlying needs of our children, and begin to use concrete tools to respond effectively to parenting challenges.

This class covers respectful limit setting, developmental norms, listening to childrens’ feelings, resolving sibling conflicts, and many practical ideas about what to do instead of being either an authoritarian or a permissive parent.

Incorporates concepts from the work of Alfie Kohn (Unconditional Parenting), Dr. Gordon Neufeld (Hold on to Your Kids), Lawrence J. Cohen (Playful Parenting), Pam Leo (Connection Parenting) and Marshall Rosenburg (NVC), as well as the varied professional and personal experience of facilitators Lyla and Emily.

Facilitated By:

Lyla Wolfenstein, B.S., IBCLC, Parent Educator, Lactation Consultant and Mother of 2
Emily Troper, ECE, Parenting and Early Childhood Educator and Mother of 4
