This 5-week program provides parents with the tools and skills necessary to successfully implement effective family meetings that create an atmosphere that enhances cooperation, collaboration, problem-solving,
conflict resolution, and communication skills, accountability, responsibility, self-discipline, self-esteem and
mutual respect.
Effective discipline teaches self-discipline from within the child or adolescent, an “inner locus of control,” by helping him/her figure out what causes problems and how to solve them. Punishment teaches an “external locus of control” where a child or adolescent depends on punishment or rewards from others as motivators. Effective discipline means using methods that teach important life skills such as cooperation, respect, concern for self and others, and problem-solving skills. Experiential exercises will deepen the learning
for participants.
