Hey DC Families! I am doing a workshop on preventing power struggles hosted by the DCJCC on Wednesday, January 15. Details below:
Parenting Without Power Struggles
"You need to eat four more pieces!" . . . "Bedtime NOW" . . . "NO! I do it!" Power struggles are maddening for parents, and not good for children either. Putting these struggles into a developmental context, this workshop will provide strategies for how to encourage your child's growing need to assert independence while providing loving and effective limits that enable you to maintain control and assert appropriate authority Struggles around mealtime, potty training, cooperation and others will be addressed. Led by Claire Lerner, a licensed clinical social worker and child development specialist.
