A free introductory session, “The Top Tools for Raising Responsible Kids,” will be held on Friday, April 26, from 7:30 – 9 pm at the Met School. This event is open to the public; advance registration is not necessary.

“Nearly all families are confronted with challenges such as getting to school on time, doing homework, helping out in the house, sibling fights and so on,” says Hill. “Positive Discipline workshops illuminate principles and practices which foster mutual respect, joy and love in an atmosphere of acceptance and support. Through a mixture of theoretical input and lively activities, participants gain simple, effective tools and the confidence to apply them on their own. When children are part of finding solutions to family problems, they can better master stressful situations in their school life and vice versa.”
