by Respectful Parent
(for Parents of Toddlers to Teens
5/23 10am-12pm $50
Everyone blames parents; we yell too much, aren't connected enough, not patient enough, we are too permissive or too strict. Or, we are too connected, helicopter too much, and are not preparing our kids for real life problems.
Respectful Parent's workshops are judgment free. Kelly believes there is no "right way" to parent only the "right way for you." These workshops will help you find the ways that do work for you so you and your children can understand each other better with mutual respect. Kelly believes that there is no 'mis' behavior, only behavior, and behavior is a simply communication of an unmet need. As parents our job is to be curious, not furious so we can determine what our child is trying to tell us. Kelly teaches very practical communication skills for parenting children of all ages so you can have more peaceful, loving relationships. Learning how to communicate better will help you feel more confident as a parent, instill responsibility and create a nurturing family environment in which your child can thrive.
Parenting Tips for a More Peaceful Family will include the following topics:
- The three kinds of time every family needs
- How to have more fun with your family
- How to develop routines that work
- How to set up an environment that decreases nagging & yelling
- How to have some free time with a preschooler, toddler or crawler
- How to say “yes” more often
- How to find the balance between power and permissiveness
ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTOR: Kelly Meier is a certified Parent Effectiveness Training Instructor teaching in San Diego, CA.When her children were young, Kelly also raised them in close alignment with the respectful parenting method, R.I.E. (Resources for Infant Educarers). With the help and guidance from friends and mentor, Lisa Sunbury Gerber and Janet Lansbury. She has continued her work in researching ways to respectfully raise children of all ages. Kelly found a passion for seeing kids as capable from birth, and from this, a love of watching them grow. In turn, helping parents has become her most rewarding career so far.
