At This Seminar:

Raising a Confident Child is a four part series for couples or single parents. These small-group sessions are dedicated to helping every loving parent become skilled in using the Warm-Firm Method. The Warm-Firm Method assists parents in dealing with their children's misbehavior with warmth, kindness AND no nonsense firmness. A commitment to this parenting philosophy keeps parents focused on the long-term benefits of raising confident children who are learning how to make decisions, take responsibility for their actions, respect the feelings of others, and express their emotions during conflict in a courteous manner. For moms and dads, this course will also assist you in parenting on the same page by ensuring you build a joint parenting philosophy. For all participants, you will discover how to successfully navigate difficult encounters with each of your children and protect their self-worth when discipline is required.
