Lesson Tag: discipline

Some children display behaviors that challenge and sometimes defeat parents and other caregivers. Your child may often refuse to follow directions or scream, swear, hit and even throw objects. This class will help you recognize why children may behave this way and why punishment isn't helping and may actually do harm

Children are happiest when they know what to expect. Arguments and misbehaviors often start when they feel that a rule is unfair or unexpected. When you talk about family rules and routines together as a family, it helps everyone feel better about what to expect even when they don’t get exactly what they want. 

Playfulness opens your child’s brain to learning and cooperation. In this class you will learn how and why this works.  

Tantrums happen a lot when children are young and we’d all like to know what we can do to help.

Positive routines work because they support child success and are enjoyable. Children learn new routines quickly when you are calm, positive, or playful. Young children thrive with a consistent schedule and take comfort from little rituals they create within a routine. The predictability helps them feel safe and secure which sets the stage for cooperation and connection.

In this class you will:

• Learn strategies to balance self-care and work demands
• Explore ways to create consistency and routine
• Recognize the value of behavioral cues through positive attention

In this class you will explore a basic schedule to start thinking about the order of routines in your home during ‘working hours.’
