Active Parenting Course
Do you ever wonder if there’s a better way to handle those daily parenting problems? Maybe your son dawdles around whenever it’s time to get dressed for school, your daughter is suddenly using disrespectful language, or the children don’t want to help out at home and argue every minute of the day. Or maybe you’d like to prepare now for the upcoming teen years.
You can become more successful at parenting with Active Parenting, a research-based video and discussion program by parenting expert Dr. Michael Popkin. In six sessions, you will learn a proven approach to parenting that will lead to more harmony and success for you and your children.
This entertaining and informative program uses video, activities and discussion to show you ways to raise responsible, resilient children who are able to resist negative peer pressure. This program is designed for parents of children ages 5 to 12 (useful for 3-4 year olds too) and teaches the use of empathy-based discipline techniques as well as how to enhance communication, inspire responsibility and other values, handle problems, defuse power struggles, stimulate independence, and encourage your children to reach their full potential!
The course is taught twice a year - each Fall and Spring - on the elementary campus. Click this link for more information on upcoming dates and registration.
TESTIMONIES FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS AT ASB:
"I feel I have a better understanding of why my children may be behaving in a particular way and how that is often a reflection of what I may be doing."
"There are practical tools that I can use immediately. I feel more equipped."
"I have been more patient with the kids and allow them to freely express their opinions and feelings. I feel like my older child is now more cooperative. Applying the strategies had helped diffuse many trying situations."
"I feel more mindful and deliberate in my parenting. I also can connect actions/parenting now to the issues later down the road..."
"We now have calmer resolution to our disputes and recognition that negative feelings are ok - we can focus on the behavior..."
"Before I took the course, I used to feel personally responsible for solving all problems. The course helped me identify which problems should be owned by me and which problems belong to the children. It has helped me immensely."
"It has helped me become more self-aware. I have been able to unpack some unproductive things I have brought to my parenting."
"I feel more in control, more capable, and the house is more calm."
"I have grown immensely... just being to tone down the yelling and screaming bouts in the house is a huge achievement. I know I have to keep working on it but my relationship with my children has definitely improved."
"Before the course we were half dictator parents and half doormat parents. Now we are on our way to becoming active parents."
"This course already came highly recommended. I can see why. I wholeheartedly recommend this course."
