Have you ever felt too soft and flexible (permissive) or too mean and harsh (authoritarian)? You can’t seem to find any middle ground and internally you feel out of control and awful? And maybe your children are acting out of control and awful? (Interesting parallel, huh?)
I am a parent coach and a Certified Positive Discipline Trainer who is passionate about helping parents gain new skills, routines, and perspectives that can really support children in becoming their best selves. Parenting with Positive Discipline means that both the child’s needs and the parent’s needs are respected. It is about TEACHING children the skills and tools that will help them to thrive in this world, not to punish or purposefully hurt children (emotionally or physically) to make them simply follow directions.
Parents/guardians can attend a scheduled Positive Discipline workshop or organize one with friends and family to take place at their home or church. Workshops are fun, interactive, and designed to create long term change in the child and parent, not a short term quick fix. To find an upcoming workshop, go to _____________________. To schedule one at your home or another location, email Dodie at DodieBlombergPDA@yahoo.com. To learn more about Positive Discipline go to www.positivediscipline.org.
I also coach parents/guardians one on one. This is a great opportunity to feel supported, learn new skills and choose a time and day that works best for you. To schedule a free 30 minute coach call, email me at DodieBlombergPDA@yahoo.com.
