Regardless of their age, children have the opportunity to learn tools that decrease conflict and increase confidence and assertiveness.

Encouraging a Growth Mindset
What motivates young children? Join Julietta Skoog for a power workshop chock full of Positive Discipline tools that invite cooperation instead of power struggles through daily routines and transitions and build deeper growth mindset skills like resilience, persistence, flexibility, optimism and empathy. Deci and Ryan’s self determination theory, Carol Dweck’s growth mindset, and Daniel Pink’s research on motivation will be explored through activities that highlight how to facilitate intrinsic motivation in children. Shift away from making your children do well, toward helping your children want to do their best. Understand key drivers of intrinsic motivation and how to foster them. This workshop is appropriate for parents and caregivers of children ages 2-10.

“This course has given me a new outlook on how to communicate more effectively with kids. The videos give real-life examples that are relatable, the readings are very informative and I learned so many new things from each section in the course. I would highly recommend it to any professional nanny, especially those working with toddlers and preschoolers.”

Positive Discipline
Dr. Jane Nelsen’s Positive Discipline parent education is based on the theories of psychologists Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. Positive Discipline helps your child feel a sense of significance and belonging through learning important life skills of empowerment, self-reliance and cooperation. This parenting style encourages kindness and firmness at the same time.
Kindness is the way we interact and connect with our children, honoring their dignity and respecting their needs.
Firmness is the way we respect ourselves and the needs of the situation, as well as following through with what we say we are going to do.
