Positive Parenting and Discipline

Do you feel like you are constanting saying "no" to your toddler or preschooler?  Do you find yourself getting frustrated and upset when your young child does not listen to you? 

Implementing effective, respectful and positive discipline strategies is an essential task for parents.  Children benefit from the establishment of clear, consistent boundaries; however, the implementation of such strategies can be a significant challenge for many parents.  Becoming Maternity and Parenting Centre is pleased to offer an interactive workshop facilitated by Elissa Kline-Beber a registered social worker and mother of three young children.  The goal if the workshop is to help parents develop positive discipline strategies that really work! 

Topics include:

• Understanding what children are saying through their behaviours
• Establishing developmentally appropriate expectations of children
• Implementing clear and consistent boundaries
• How to discipline children without undermining their sense of self-esteem
• Considering alternatives to “no”

Note: this workshop is primarily geared to parents of toddlers and preschoolers.

Next Workshop: Tuesday, Sept. 23rd at 7pm. Call the Centre at 416-440-4020 for the date of the next workshop or for more information.
