A new adventure....Parenting Teens & Tweens with Positive Discipline

My professional work and my parenting work came together in an exciting way this past spring when I offered a 6-week course, Parenting Teens & Tweens with Positive Discipline, for the first time. I was joined by eight brave and enthusiastic moms from the Bay Area, who quickly connected to share successes and struggles, and try new things.

Our weekly meeting was a place to get real about how HARD it is to parent teens and tweens. We explored how teenage brains work, how capable teens can be when we let them, how many mistakes they still make, and how to support their development as kind and independent adults. We had real conversations about how our teens naturally retreat from us, and how we can work on building and maintaining connections with them.

I didn’t I discover Positive Discipline until after my kids were already teens and tweens. I only wish I had learned about it sooner! Positive Discipline is the most helpful framework I’ve used to help guide my thinking about how I want to parent, how I want to talk to my kids, and prioritizing what matters most.

I will be facilitating Parenting Teens & Tweens with Positive Discipline one more time in 2022, beginning on October 13th. If you join the group, you can expect to participate in highly interactive learning activities, to learn new tools for communication and connection, to practice new skills with your family, and to be supported by a generous community of other parents.

To learn more about the 6-week workshop series I'm offering, or if you are just curious about Positive Discipline, please make an appointment and let's talk.The next session will begin on Thursday, October 13, 2022. Reach out to me to learn more or sign up.
