Positive Discipline Online 6 Weeks Workshop
Join me in this Interactive Online Parenting Class!
This six-week online workshop will teach you the most important, family-changing skills from the Positive Discipline books, and through activities.
The last 30 minutes of every week will be PHPPSS, an activity that uses a specific problem/situation brought up by participants. Through this activity, the volunteer will seek solutions with help from others.
Here are some of the topics covered in this 6 week workshop.
Alternatives for being too strict or permissive
How to help your children feel capable
Teach children to learn from mistakes, rather than pay for them
What to do to avoid power struggles
How to connect before correcting
The difference between Encouragement and Praise
The belief behind the behavior
and many many more parenting tools!
※Online Class Package (Downloadable Positive Discipline Book, Workbook and tool cards) is NOT included in the 6 week price and is not necessary to participate, but is a great and recommended resource for you to have. Please let me know if you would like to purchase one.

About Positive Discipline Workshops
Positive Discipline is a program developed by Dr. Jane Nelsen.
This program helps parents (and other adults) teach their children to learn from mistakes, become responsible and resourceful members of their communities in a non-punitive way, that has a long-term effect, and with respect and encouragement.
The tools and concepts of Positive Discipline include:
-Mutual respect. Adults model firmness by respecting themselves and the needs of the situation, and kindness by respecting the needs of the child.
-Identifying the belief behind the behavior. Effective discipline recognizes the reasons kids do what they do and works to change those beliefs, rather than merely attempting to change behavior.
-Effective communication and problem solving skills.
-Discipline that teaches (and is neither permissive nor punitive).
-Focusing on solutions instead of punishment.
-Encouragement (instead of praise). Encouragement notices effort and improvement, not just success, and builds long-term self-esteem and empowerment.
I'm Akeha! I am based in Massachusetts, United States, I am a mom of 2 and a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator.
I absolutely think that Positive Discipline can help many people. It has been helping me with my own parenting journey, as well as every relationship I have with other people, and above all it has helped me be more comfortable with myself.
I wish to be a cause of someone else's happiness through the workshops that I hold. I hope to see you there!
