Teens and parents have certain inevitable struggles. This course will address communication, troubleshooting, cultural influences, and building assets to maintain a connected relationship. We will explore principles that successful families have in common, and how we can incorporate these principles into our own family. The system of reward and punishment not only results in dependent and reactive behavior but establishes an external control that inhibits learning to trust oneself. Setting limits, teaching values, and holding children accountable for their behavior does not require punishment.
Punishment is a retaliatory act to appease anger.
And that is just what it teaches children. This group will provide you with the truth about the effects of punishment and will give you skills to parent responsibly and consciously. The PGC requires a minimum of 4 children total to offer child care.
