Positive Discipline
If we listen closely, our children's behavior is often telling us something....a feeling, need, wish. Learn to listen deeply to better understand your children and respond in a way that models compassion and setting appropriate expectations and limits. As parents, we can be intentional about how we interact, what we model, and how we discipline with the goal of giving our children the tools to make good choices.
