Discipline without Damage: The Online Course
Dr Vanessa Lapointe will guide you through a series of lessons designed to help you understand why children behave the way they do, as well as what they need in times of upset and stress. You will also understand why you react the way you do to certain behaviours, and will change aspects of your parenting practice so that you can have a household of peace, compassion and relationship.
Dr Vanessa shares the origins of anxiety – from its necessary roots in survival – to how our everyday life contributes to feelings of alarm over experiences that are seemingly harmless. She shares doable strategies for guiding our children through their moments of heightened emotions, as well as how we can become more aware of our own feelings around anxiety and stress. This course is a must-take for parents of children of any age!
