Wayzata Community Ed

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.
