Divorce can be a devastating experience for the parent as well as the children. In this workshop we will discuss ways to help children whose family is going through a divorce.

Secrets of Super Nanny Explained: Setting Limits with Love
Parenting defiant children can be a huge challenge. This program addresses the concern that many parents have over how to balance love with limits. We will discuss how love can be expressed through limit setting with children, as well as the importance of consistency in parenting. We will also take a practical look at limit-setting, particularly the use of positive reinforcement (rewards) and negative reinforcement (punishment, or as Super Nanny calls it, “the naughty chair”). Participants are encouraged to come with stories of struggles with their own children. The group as a whole will then work to develop a plan for setting limits within this family.

Annoying Teens, Annoying Parents
It is typical, and quite normal, for both teenagers and their parents to react to each other with annoyance. If adults and their children misunderstand or over-react to annoying behavior, conflicts can escalate into distressing, counter-productive arguments. This workshop explores the distinction between behavior in families that is merely annoying from issues that are important, even dangerous. We will talk about the anxiety that both parents and teens feel, and the self-soothing and positive strategies that can help families work through the challenges of the adolescent years.
