Respectful Parenting Support Group

~ an 8 week series

Attachment Parenting Educator and Mommy Gretchen Goddard leads this fun, insightful and practical support group. 
It's never too early or too late to learn how to foster deep listening, respect, and empathy for our children.... and to ensure that our partner is on the same page with this philosophy. 
Gretchen uses mindfulness and discussion to bring voice to the concerns and questions that arise as you learn how to navigate new parenting pathways in a supportive setting.

Some themes for discussion will be:

- How to discipline children without yelling, spanking, or using coercion
- What to do when feeling triggered and how not to "Lose It" with your child
- To build a framework for reasonable expectations based on the developmental stages of children
- How to handle distress tantrums
- How to handle Sibling Rivalry
- How to stay positive and flexible rather than reactive in interactions with your child
- Respectful Limit Setting
- How to break patterns of thinking and move beyond power struggles to cooperation and trust
- How to care for ourselves and bring balance to our own lives as we hold space for others.
