P4P I - Goals, Problems & Promises                          Approx 90 mins                

  In this session parents set goals for their parenting and identify a starting point.  It also reveals why our disciplinary strategies only work temporarily, if at all; demonstrates the source of resistance; and distinguishes every child's unsolvable dilemma.

 P4P II - Early Learning and Behavior                       Approx 90 mins

   Discover a surprising nature of early learning and the amazing capacity of young children; what activity is most significant in later school performance; why we get upset and what that really means (another surprise!); how our languages (we all have more than one) influence our results; the myth of motivation.

 P4P III - A New Behavioral Paradigm                      Approx 90 mins             

  The power of context; the hidden paradigm and source of separation and suffering; shifting into a new paradigm; reconsidering consequences, rewards, praise, and punishment; being in charge while giving away power; the end of being an enforcer, the beginning of a natural and extraordinary partnership.

P4P IV  - Conversations for Partnership                     Approx 90 mins       

  Using the tools learned in I - III, parents will practice having conversations that empower their children and support family life with satisfaction and relatedness. Topics such as transitions, separations, schooling, loss, and resources will be shared.
