PARENTING FOR KID'S SAKE

​Can you relate? Are you wanting to . . .
Understand your child(ren)? Deal with correction and conflict? Build connection? Navigate screen time peacefully?

If you can identify with these phrases, 
you're at the right place. 
What you're looking for is your WHY.

Parenting for Kid's Sake 
is well suited for single parents, adoptive parents, step parents, co-parents...any parents! It helps build skills for parents that have a 
profound positive impact on children.
Welcome and introduction to course by Abby Glaser - 1 minute

Parenting For Kids Sake - Content 

Parenting for Kids Sake is very interactive, engaging, and is hosted on an attractive digital learning portal. It contains video clips, exercises, assessments, and follow up questions focused on the areas below.​
​
  • Session 1: Connecting with your children
    • You'll acquire several practical tools to understand and relate to your children in a way that fits their unique styles, experiences and preferences. The RINGS Chat, 5 Love Languages, DISC personality assessment, and Love & Logic explanation are key tools/insights.
  • Session 2: Dealing with stress and conflict 
    • You'll come to understand your own and your children's responses when things get tense in your home. Exploring your own family tree will add insights to what you want to keep and what you want to discard. The 6 stress animals and 4 core strategies are key tools/insights.
  • Session 3: Managing anger and resolving conflict 
    • You'll see what happens in the brain when we get angry and how to calm them. Learning a simple conflict resolution tool, the SOS, will give you productive outcomes when experiencing disagreements and differences. The 4 Communication Danger Signs, Amygdala Hijack, Timeout, Letting Off Steam, and the SOS are key tools/insights. 
  • Session 4: Nuts and bolts of healthy parenting 
    • You'll gain an understanding of your parental job description with the 4 C's. Planning family meetings, listing family goals and managing screen time are valuable and practical skills as you wrap up this course on parenting. The Wish List, 5 Parenting Styles, Disciplining Children, Leading Family Meetings, Achieving Goals, and Kid's Brains and Screens are key tools/insights.
