Parenting Workshops

Practical tools for calmer, more connected family life

Our parenting workshops give caregivers simple, research-supported strategies for managing challenging behavior in young children. Each series is designed to help you build confidence, strengthen your relationship with your child, and create a more positive home environment. You will learn how to become more responsive to your child’s needs while also developing concrete strategies for consistent limit-setting and follow-through.

What the workshop includes

Workshops are offered in a group format (up to 10–15 caregivers) to build a supportive community. Each workshop series offers:

  • Two 2-hour sessions over two weeks
  • Evening meeting times when offered
  • Hands-on practice with real-world strategies
  • Opportunities to gain support from other caregivers in your community

Common concerns we address

Workshops are helpful for families navigating:

  • Tantrums and emotional outbursts
  • Aggression and hitting
  • Listening and following directions
  • Building predictable routines
  • Strengthening the parent-child relationship
Cost

The workshop fee is $50 per family, due by the first session. All caregivers in the household are welcome to attend.
