One of the most common challenges parents face is
how to help children behave without resorting to
threats, coercion, withdrawing connection, or
bargaining, approaches that produce short-term
results but are damaging to the relationship in the
long-term. The context of relationship with our
children is the single most important factor
determining our success as parents. For this reason
it is critical that we find ways to help our children
grow up that preserve and protect the relationship
instead of compromising it. Discipline That Doesn't
Divide outlines basic principles of discipline that are
both attachment friendly and developmentally safe.
The presentation explores these principles in depth
and clarifies how we can incorporate them into our
interactions with children of all ages. Cindy Leavitt
will discuss how to apply these principles in our
daily lives with children of all ages.
