Parenting with Love and Leadership:
From Tots to Teens

The emotional, social and behavioral health of a child depends primarily on parents and caregivers who provide the child with the two L words - LOVE and LEADERSHIP. Unfortunately, in today's parenting culture, many of even the most well-intentioned parents are diluting love with lots of enabling and substituting relationship for leadership. This creates predictable problems not only for the child, but for parents, teachers, dentists and other healthcare providers. In this presentation, one of America's best known parenting experts will answer two questions: (1) How did we get here? and (2) How can we recover common sense when it comes to children?

Course Objectives - upon completion of this course, attendees will have a better understanding of:

• The "seasons" of parenting.
• How each influences child development, the parent-child relationship and the parental role.
• The importance of parents providing leadership to children, especially from ages 3 - 13 (season two).
• What "leadership parenting" looks like. 
• How the culture-wide paradigm shift in the 1960's and 1970's influenced child rearing.
• How that shift resonates in culture and the family today.
• How to properly discipline a child.
• The fact that disciplining a child is not accomplished by behavior modification based methods.
