Chances are you wouldn’t expect to learn a foreign language in an hour. Enhancing your parenting tools and practicing effective implementation takes time as well. In our many years of working with parents, we have come to realize that the most satisfied are those who commit to the change process by taking one of our multi-week courses. Each session is packed with information, strategies and practical tips. Between sessions, parents gain comfort with the concepts by “practicing” the strategies at home. Over the four weeks, parents have the opportunity to sharpen their skills and get personal feedback from the instructors. Course “graduates” come away with a framework for parenting that will guide and anchor them in the future.
