Event Details

***NOTE NEW DATES! Start date is now Monday, October 9th.*** As parents, there is nothing more important to us than our relationships with our children. Unfortunately, much of the cultural support around parenting has disappeared and many moms and dads are overwhelmed and confused as to how best to do their job. Too often, parents today take their cues according to what others are doing rather than what feels right to them. As a result we find a culture in which parents are using contrived methods that often encourage us to use our relationship with our children against them or to use the things they care about most as leverage to make them do what we want. These practices can help us to create kids that are sometimes “good” but not children that are secure. Dr. Gordon Neufeld is an internationally recognized developmental psychologist and bestselling author of Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers. He developed this course to help parents to tune into their own natural intuition and understand their kids from the inside out so that they can help them grow into their own unique potential. Facilitated by Todd Sarner M.A., Co-Director of Transformative Parenting and one of Dr. Neufeld’s most trusted students, each 2-hour session will include a one-hour presentation followed by one hour of facilitated discussion. Some topics addressed include: *How to use discipline that doesn’t harm your relationship. *Addressing separation problems- the root of most difficulties. *Raising children that are capable of deep & fulfilling relationships. *When kids seek to dominate (instead of depend on) their parents. *Preventing being replaced by peers or other competing attachments. *How to best deal with defiance and oppositionality. *Understanding and addressing the roots of aggression. *And much, much more We will meet for 6 Mondays, starting October 9th and ending November 13th. The time will be from 7pm to 9pm each night. (October 9,16,23,30, November 6,13) The cost of this course, including materials, is $150. We will offer financial assistance and scholarships to several attendees due to a generous partial sponsorship by First 5 Marin (www.marincfc.org). Email us for details. This event is sponsored by Transformative Parenting, a Marin-based Parent Coaching & Consulting organization. www.transformativeparenting.com
