Parenting

Getting to Yes!

One of the biggest challenges many of us face is in parenting our children, particularly teens! This class – “Getting to Yes” – helps parents better understand children and helps teens interact more positively with parents. See – Upcoming Workshops – on our home page for the next class date. If you prefer one on one parenting help, please contact us. We can help you communicate more effectively with your children.

Parents: Do you find it difficult to motivate your teens or pre-teens with chores, homework or just to interact with you? Would you like to understand why they behave the way they do and learn better influencing skills?

Teens: Do you feel that no matter what you do, your parents are never satisfied? Do you feel that no matter what you say, they don’t listen to you or try to understand what you’re going through? Do you feel powerless to influence them? In this class one-half of the time is spent with parents helping them to better understand their teenage children and to learn effective skills in motivating them. In the second half of the workshop we focus on the teens or pre-teens and help them learn how to create a fulfilling life and good communication skills.

The class begins Friday evening; we work with the parents from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday morning we begin at 10 a.m. and work with the kids until 5 p.m. After dinner (5-6) we hold the final portion of the class from 6 to 9 with both parents and their children. The cost for the class is $70 per family and is due at registration. Everyone also will need lunch and dinner money. The class is limited to six families.
