Making Sense Of Discipline

This course provides participants with the opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to discipline with strategies that are attachment-safe and developmentally friendly.

Most every parent and teacher wants to know, "What do I do when?" These tend to be the most pressing and universal questions in dealing with children. Finding the right answers becomes more challenging when parents and teachers are concerned about attachment and healthy development and do not want their discipline methods to undermine or sabotage these processes. At the same time there is the responsibility to teach the lessons that need to learned and to impose order when required.

This course speaks to the question of what to do in the larger context of what is required to raise children to their full potential as human beings. Some of the prevailing discipline practices - like time-outs and consequences - are discussed from this perspective.

This course includes 4 hours of video material by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, which students will watch independently, as well as 5 group support sessions with Neufeld Parent Consultant and Course Facilitator Jenni Pertuset. The support sessions focus on deepening the understanding of theory, gaining insight into how it applies within your own family, and connection with others walking a similar path. This course will start on Wednesday, June 18 and run for 5 consecutive weeks, through July 16.
