Having new options to work with let me see what I could learn from my mistakes, so that this “oh, I could have handled that better, I kind of lost it there a bit” can become “now I see what works, what I can do next time and (most importantly) I’m not an awful parent or ruining my son by being human.”

My husband and I joined Lisa’s class in Fall 2014.  Our son is 10 and we were looking for inspiration on how to navigate the latest phase we found ourselves in.  What I take away from Positive Discipline: insight and techniques on how to include our son in the resolution of conflicts and issues and how the family can work together to create a space of mutual respect and understanding. It was so very valuable to be reminded that all my child really wants is to know he belongs.  Having new options to work with let me see what I could learn from my mistakes, so that this “oh, I could have handled that better, I kind of lost it there a bit” can become “now I see what works, what I can do next time and (most importantly) I’m not an awful parent or ruining my son by being human.”  Positive Discipline is a tool that will aid us for years to come.  Thank you Lisa!
