Parent Education Series
School to Heart to Home~Conscious Discipline Parent Nights
Let's face it, being a parent is a hard job!
Come learn, connect, and explore parenting with Conscious Discipline
This is an approach to parenting built around the science of crafting caring and respectful relationships. An authentic, loving connection between parents/guardians and their children is the root of a healthy, thriving relationship built on trust and understanding. This is a great way to empower children to make positive choices.

Who should attend?
All adults engaged in a 'parent' role of elementary-aged youth.
These parenting events are designed to meet families where they are, empowering all families to experience increased success. Families that are already secure and connected will learn healthy ways to manage typical frustrations and families struggling with chronic challenges will learn essential skills for stabilizing the family through safety and connection. We also focus on learning about our own self-awareness, reactions vs. responses, and self-care.Dinner! Make & Take materials! Free!
Attendance in all four sessions is encouraged and appreciated.
Following each session, attendees will receive
- a gift card to a local restaurant (to replace the meal we'd provide if able to meet in person)
- printed material related to content covered.
- a copy of Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline, a parenting book that covers much of the content we will discuss.
