POSITIVE PARENTING
Why join a parenting group?
Join me, Brissa, as a Parenting Coach, Child Behaviour Consultant and Parent and Tot Educator bringing early childhood discussions into small group settings.
With a limited number of spaces, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share stories, and learn Positive Parenting Tools on topics such as Tantrums, Co-Operation, Back Talk, Transition to Daycare and any specific daily issues. Participants will receive immediate feedback, hear from others and share common concerns.
This session's Parenting Group will be scheduled for Wednesday nights at 7:30pm - 9:00pm on Zoom ($88).
This will be an opportunity for parents to discuss any parenting and behavioral issues that may arise in your family. This platform encourages parents to ask questions, share stories while I interject with useful tools.
The maximum will be 8 parents.
My plan is to meet once every two weeks on Zoom, for (4) 90-minute sessions as a way to stay connected and to reassure parents as your child grows. However this is flexible whether parents want to meet every 2, 3, or once a month and can be discussed and determined during the first session.
Prior to the first session, parents are encouraged to indicate what topics, concerns and interests they have. I will then prepare an agenda accordingly.
A private messaging group will be set up in which parents can share incidents, questions, and thoughts.
Example: Throwing Sand
John throws the sand while playing in the park.
You would tell him what he cannot do followed with what he can do. "John you cannot throw the sand you can put the sand in the pail, you can make a sand pile, you can run a truck through it, etc..."
If John continues to throw the sand, you would then say... "It looks like your body is forgetting. The sand stays in the sandbox, so now you will come out of the sandbox".
You would then say, " John, I have GOOD NEWS. You get to play with the sand another day". You also let him know that he can use the slide, the swings or other park equipment. A huge tantrum can happen as a result, but that's okay.
This is a teachable moment, we are using positive parenting tools to teach our children. You don't have to be punitive to teach, just firm and fair. If John is still having a hard time settling into another play at the park, you may make the decision to leave the park. You would tell John "We are leaving the park now. But I have GOOD NEWS, we can try again tomorrow".
The point is, we want children to know that yes they will make wrong decisions but they get to try again and get it right.
After every consequence there needs to be 'GOOD NEWS'. Always tell a child there is good news like, "You made a mistake today but next time we are at the park you are going to make a great decision. You will be able to keep the sand in the sandbox".
