Parents are less stressed when their kids cooperate. Children are more cooperative when they feel positively connected with their parents. This interactive class will help you recognize myths and misunderstandings that get in the way of creating a calm, joyful family life. You’ll also gain skills in applying positive discipline and increasing cooperation with your children. You will have a chance to ask questions and get answers on the spot. You will also receive helpful handouts to look back on when you are trying out new approaches.
