In the class we discussed:
Changing our beliefs on why children misbehave, and figuring out what they are really trying to communicate.
Instead of trying to CONTROL their behavior, find ways to make the child feel loved, powerful, and that they have a place.
We do this by having genuine encounter moments - basically being connected with our children and taking time to have meaningful, sincere 'moments' with each child.
We also talked about CONSCIOUS parenting, birth order, what to do when children are fighting, how to create a win/win negotiation, reasons not to spank, and ways to nurture onself (101 to be exact).
Great class.
