Positive Discipline for the First 3 Years:

Building a Loving Foundation

Wednesdays, April 27th – June 8th, 2011

6:30 – 8:30 pm

in The Family Room at Milagros, 5429 NE 30th Avenue, Portland, OR 97211

Are you confused and frustrated by your child’s behavior? Do you wish you could take discipline out of your parenting responsibilities?  You are not alone. Parenting a young child is hard work. Yet, discipline does not have to be painful for us or our children.

Join us for a 7-week class series to learn practical skills to:

• Transform the challenges of willful refusals, temper tantrums, and hitting into learning opportunities
• Feel confident in your parenting
• Better understand your toddler’s world
• Prevent future disciplinary issues while fostering valuable life skills
• Expand your parenting support community

The class series is facilitated by Megan Barella, mama of one spirited two-year old, partner to a show maker, graduate student in conflict resolution, and firm believer that respectful parenting has the power to change the world.
