– Parent of 8-year-old
“The key skills and information I gained include: 4 goals of misbehavior; Active/Reflective Listening; I-messages; Be the BEST version of myself; Being a responsible parent; use Encouragement more so than Praise of our children; Seek progress not perfection; Create shared understanding; Be strategic; Explore Alternatives; and I will end with this key point – the family becomes the arena to learn life skills!”
