Positive Discipline 2 day session training (3hrs) 2nd day is 6/19 6:00PM-7:30PM
The two most significant challenges children face are learning acceptable social behaviors and being able to control their own actions. And there lies the vital importance of taking time to teach and guide children in learning how to make effective choices and manage their own behavior over time. This can start as early as possible. This workshop will cover the definition of discipline along with 7 principles of discipline which are introduced through group work and class discussion. These principles of discipline will give you tools to use at home. RSVP HERE: https://affm.my.site.com/s/Training?inputSession=Positive
