Program Overview:
There is a way to move through the fear in order to bring the light of love into the darkness of our children's world. We have to stop feeding more fear into our families through the traditional approaches and we have to be willing to trust that are children are still creatures of love, despite their past experiences. This program will teach families, caregivers, therapists and any other person working with children and teens, shift from feelings of tension, anger, blame, frustration and hopelessness into a place of understanding, compassion, peace and love. This program will teach participants how to take the material they have learned and apply it to their own situations, successfully putting principles into action and develop stronger more meaningful relationships with their children or the the children they are working with. This training is based on the book, Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control, and is led by Certified Beyond Consequences instructors.
