For Parents K-12 Grades
If you are a
parent, you know what it feels like when your kids push your buttons. We often react in ways we thought we never
would, ways we dislike, ways that are ineffective and ways that make us feel
like terrible parents. When our buttons
are pushed, we react automatically with anger and lose our authority. Nothing
effective can be taught or learned in these moments. The “Buttons” workshop will help you
understand what pushes your buttons, why they are pushed and give you tools to
diffuse them. You can finally end the
action-reaction cycle between you and your child!
