This course is based on the work of Dr. Gordon Neufeld ("Hold On to Your Kids") and is taught by Todd Sarner, MA, the Co-Director of Transformative Parenting. Todd helped develop this course with Dr. Neufeld and is the only person teaching this course at present.

• How to help your child deal with separation problems (including problems with sleep)
• Why a preschooler wants to say "NO" all the time (and how to get them to work with you)
• How rituals and compassionate limit setting can help avoid parental burnout (and make your child feel safe at the same time)
• Why separation based discipline (like Time Outs and 1-2-3 Magic) can actually backfire and how to use discipline that doesn't harm your relationship
• Why it's critically important to let children have their tears (and how tears actually assist in your preschoolers' development)
• How to handle the problems that can occur between siblings (including multiples)
• The importance of providing more contact & closeness to your child than they ask for (before they ask for it)
• How to tune in to your child's own specific needs and sensitivities
• And much more.

The group will be meeting for two Saturday mornings, 9am-12noon. The dates are:

March 22 & March 29.

Refreshments will be served.
