Carrots & Sticks Workshop | Session 3

Saturday 13 August, 2022

Session 3, 7pm – 9pm

Punishment and reward are the foundation of discipline for most parents… in fact, they’re often the only options for getting kids to do what they’re expected to do. Most parents would rather not yell, threaten, use time-out, smack, or generally get the kids in trouble. But no one really knows what other options there are.

Rewards don’t make us feel so bad. But why should we have to bribe kids to pick up their mess or be nice to their siblings? And once you start rewarding one child, everyone expects it, and the charts and reward systems become overwhelming. It’s enough to do any parent’s head in.

The everyday discipline toolkit needs an update. Fortunately, smart science is pointing the way to positive parenting solutions for every parent.

Join Dr Justin Coulson for this provocative online workshop as he slays several sacred cows of the parenting world.

We’ll briefly unpack:

• Why punishment is unhelpful in raising thoughtful and considerate kids
• The reasons time-out needs to stay in the naughty corner and never come out again
• The challenges with praise and why it can hurt children’s development and growth

But then we’ll spend time working through:

• The most powerful parenting strategies to help guide your children successfully
• Solutions to working with your children rather than doing things to them
• Specific scripts to guide your conversations with your kids when it’s all falling to pieces and you just want peace

This is a workshop not to miss.
