Kids are Worth It! Parenting with Wit & Wisdom​

A evening packed with solid practical advice for parents of children from toddlers to teenagers, that shows how to utilize the very stuff of family life—chores, mealtime, sibling rivalry, toilet training, bedtime, allowances and more—to create a home environment in which children can become self-disciplined, compassionate, responsible, resourceful, resilient human beings who can act in their own best interest, stand up for themselves and exercise their own rights while respecting the rights and legitimate needs of others. Barbara Coloroso will discuss the keys to good parenting: treating kids with respect; giving them a sense of positive power in their own lives; giving them opportunities to make decisions, take responsibility for their actions and learn from their successes and mistakes.

Topics:

  • Positive home climate
  • Simple rules to help stop trouble before it starts
  • Power struggles—what, how, why and when not to engage
  • Six critical life messages
  • Discipline and punishment—why one works and the other only appears to work
  • RSVP—reasonable, simple, valuable, practical consequences
  • Mistakes, mischief and mayhem
  • Three kinds of families—brick wall, jellyfish and backbone
  • Keeping your cool without putting your feelings on ice
  • Buffering children from sexual promiscuity, drug abuse and suicide
