Positive Discipline and Secure Attachment: A Cultural Perspective

February 01, 2024 8:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Tanika Eaves,PhD, LCSW, IMH-E®

Challenges & Solutions

Even though most parents have spanked their child at one time or another, there is an amazing amount of research that tells us about the negative effects of corporal punishment. Understanding the roots of our discipline practices may be important in understanding why we choose certain parenting practices and how they affect our children.

Peace at Home Expert Tanika Eaves shares her passion for children and families as well as her research skills and personal insight to her extraordinary workshop. She co-presented with her esteemed guest, Doug Edwards, founder of Real Dads Forever

This workshop took a look at the history of slavery and colonialism to think together about their role in shaping beliefs about discipline and practices presumed to be “cultural.” We will discuss how these historical traumas may have influenced certain discipline techniques and their impact on children’s emotional, mental, and behavioral well-being.

They looked at what research indicates about the kind of discipline that is both helpful and affirming to kids and increases cooperation. We will consider positive discipline and how it works. Positive discipline emphasizes understanding children’s needs and emotions while nurturing their growth and development. By using positive discipline techniques, parents build strong, trusting relationships with their children, leading to healthier emotional and social development. Science based, positive discipline approaches also tend to increase cooperation without harming children’s confidence and courage.

This library addresses ways to support your child with ADHD or Autism with low support needs. Many parents of children with special needs report higher than average levels of stress and conflict. Often symptoms can look like misbehavior, and children with special needs may not respond to the discipline techniques that work for other children. Diagnoses like Autism Spectrum Disorder or ADHD require behavioral support strategies that are specific to each child’s needs. Effective discipline is built on empathy and a balance between flexibility and consistency. It’s time to stop just surviving, and gain the tools you need to thrive and enjoy your relationship with your child, as you support their growth and development.

Understand and Support Your Neurodivergent Child: From Misbehavior to Stress Response

February 15, 2024 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Take This Workshop

Expert

Michelle Sebak,MS

Challenges & Solutions

We often view kids’ challenging behaviors as misbehavior – that is on purpose or even manipulation to gain or avoid something. This point of view is sadly common in families and even in schools. In order to correct the behavior we don’t want, we tend to “discipline” our children which commonly means consequences, time-outs or punishment. Even though largely outdated and sometimes harmful, most adults believe that these approaches “teach” children to behave in more appropriate or expected ways.

In contrast, science tells us that what is often viewed as misbehavior is actually a stress response. When a child feels stressed or unsafe on the inside, challenging behaviors are what we see on the outside. And neurodivergent children, like those with Autism or ADHD, are even more vulnerable to feeling stressed than neurotypical children. Let’s work on this together.
