Peaceful Parenting Workshops + Coaching Support
Peaceful parenting is parenting rooted in kind leadership, generous assumptions, and boundaries created through shared family values. Children who are parented peacefully experience less stress, gain and benefit from important social-emotional skills, and are more successful in school.
Peaceful parenting and teaching go hand-in-hand. Parents and families are core members of any school community and are fundamental to cultivating a safe, academically challenging, inspiring environment!
Peaceful Parenting Workshop Topics + Offerings
TRP will work with your school community to determine the right name for your parenting workshops. Currently, we've settled on "peaceful" parenting, since "restorative" seems too technical and "gentle" is frequently understood to be soft, ineffective parenting. In fact, peaceful parenting is based in brain, nervous system, and attachment science. It is grounded in proven practices and requires self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a lot of courage. Peaceful parenting heals multigenerational wounds and takes the work of nurturing children and family systems very seriously. It is for parents and caregivers who want to interrupt cycles of violence, heal their inner child, and maintain strong, healthy connections to their children far beyond their childhoods.
There are effectively two rules of peaceful parenting.
Rule #1: PROTECT CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS
Rule #2: NEVER BECOME A SOURCE OF THREAT
Peaceful parenting doesn’t require perfection, but if the rules are consistently broken, children are at risk for problematic development, health, and mental outcomes.
