“This workshop was WONDERFUL! It was so helpful to talk to Julie and hear her wise and experienced take on so many of the struggles that we go through as parents to little children every day. She has such a graceful way to help us see the impact of our words on our children and how we can shift our thinking and way we speak to really help them be problem solvers and want to cooperate. I highly recommend it!”

- Do your kids bicker, argue or fight almost every day… or almost every minute??
- Could you use some tools to improve relations?
- Do you find yourself unable to think of what to say or do in the heat of the moment?
It’s one thing to read a book or watch a parenting video, and quite another to put all those “reasonable, common sense” tools to work in the moment when the kids are fighting, arguing or bickering.
If you find yourself threatening, or yelling, or just at a loss, join me for this hands-on, practical, experiential, interactive 3-week workshop for parents of children ages 4 to 16. We’ll cover concrete strategies to reduce the conflict and help everyone get along. And you’ll get practice using those strategies, feedback to help you get better dealing with the actual conflicts in your home, and answers to your questions.
Participants will be asked to come having read Part One of How To Talk When Kids Won’t Listen, and you’ll have a few short reading assignments during the four weeks. But your most important homework assignment will be to try the tools and strategies from the workshop, and report back.
Feedback from a workshop participant: “The level of hostility and conflict in my home is down substantially since the workshop! I’m amazed that the kids have been able to come to agreements so quickly. Highly recommend!”
