Parenting is both a rewarding and demanding experience. Positive Parenting seeks to promote the parenting behaviors that foster positive child and youth development. Seay et al states that “Positive parenting is the continual relationship of a parent(s) and a child or children that includes caring, teaching, leading, communicating, and providing for the needs of a child consistently and unconditionally”. The workshop will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of Positive Parenting, including 10 key strategies and ideas for implementation at home that will impact your child's academic and overall development. You will receive guidance on how to support your family using the Positive Parenting approach.
