Bring more joy to your parenting in 2014!

Join other parents along with Cindy Kaplan, MA Parent Coach, to explore the eight principles from the book Confident Parents Remarkable Kids by Bonnie Harris. These guidelines will help you focus on your children’s capabilities and strengths as well as helping you find ways, even in the most challenging moments, to connect with your children so that you can engage with them to problem-solve rather than punish, and allow them to be accountable for their actions.

Fee is $200 for the series. To inquire and/or to register contact Cindy at ci***@************ng.com or 617-869-3305.
