Online Youth Classes
Do you have conflicts around devices, homework, meals and bed times? Do you feel like you are working harder at solving these problems than your child? Then come learn new ways of being together that help your child develop the self-discipline to make good choices without using extrinsic rewards and punishments. This dynamic talk will leave you with an understanding that all behavior is purposeful and will help you identify what needs are getting met when kids are behaving in ways that are in conflict with the beliefs of your family. You will learn the tools from leading Parent Educators and Behavioral Psychologists that help create lasting behavioral change rather than relying on more reminders or supervision.
This program is made possible through funding by the Partners for Healthy Kids grant and the Wayzata Public Schools District Liaison Committee.
About the presenter:
Dan Baier has dedicated 24 years to teaching in Edina Public Schools, where he developed a deep commitment to helping students thrive both academically and personally. In 2006, he became a certified trainer in Restitution Self-Discipline with Diane Gossen, and in 2009, he took on the role of Director of Service Learning at Impact Lives, leading students on transformative trips to Haitian refugee camps, where they learned how to turn their talents into strengths. Dan’s passion for teaching extends beyond the classroom. He’s had the privilege of training parents and educators around the world—in Canada, Iceland, the Dominican Republic, Cambodia, and Malaysia—helping them develop tools to create supportive, self-disciplined environments. As the founder of Interdependent Learning, Dan is deeply committed to equipping students with the skills they need to be self-disciplined, meet their own needs in healthy ways, and contribute to the well-being of their communities. Currently, Dan is modeling these practices for teachers in their classrooms with students in Wayzata, Minnetonka, and Edina, focusing on strategies that foster student agency and help students meet their needs in ways that promote both individual and collective success.
