ROD KOCHTITZKY
In this workshop Rod will explore issues of parenting based on his experience as a couples’ counselor, relationship coach, and parent of two sons. He will help parents understand their partner’s parenting style, and will help parents form a unified front. The seminar will also be helpful for single parents in understanding their own parenting style. Rod will focus on children through elementary school ages but the information is applicable for parenting for children.
In this seminar participants will have a chance to:
· Understand the value of and how to form a unified parental bond with their children
· Be introduced to specific parenting tools that will help them stay connected to the child
· Learn how to handle temper tantrums, how to set boundaries with love and empathy, how to let consequences be the teacher, and how to use timeout or a thinking space in a positive way (not as punishment)
· Understand how praise can build or undermine self-esteem
· Be exposed to the stages of development that children go through

DENNY MOSESMAN
As a parent educator, Denny conducts classes, workshops and special presentations on an on-going basis throughout the year designed to help parents and professionals understand exactly why children from 18 months to 18 years of age misbehave and act out. Once this foundation of understanding is explained, it then provides effective, step-by-step discipline methods for creating firm and respectful boundaries that help children feel validated and understood. The results are a better equipped “toolbox” for the parent and children who are respectful, cooperative and responsible.
Power Struggles. They happen every day in every home. It is the main misbehavior of childhood that we never stop doing as we grow into adulthood. In this workshop, Denny explores why we all love to power struggle, how to prevent power struggles, and steps to take to get out of a power struggle.
Participants will have a chance to:
Understand why a child misbehaves
Learn specific techniques that work for each goal of misbehavior
Resolve conflicts without power struggles
Focus on problems without judging the child
Allow children to solve their own problems, offering them guidance when needed
Plan for “genuine encounters” with children, away from television, phone and computer
Replace negative motivational messages (guilt, nagging, threats, bribes) with positive messages
Assist children in becoming self-sufficient, responsible and self-confident
Realize that we model the behaviors and misbehaviors our children commit
