Paramount Room - "The 7 Guiding Principles of No-Yell™ Parenting" with Kathy Whithman
Are you at your wit's end because your child won’t listen to you, your kids are constantly fighting with each other, there are frequent tantrums, power struggles at bedtime, or endless fights over screen time? In this workshop, you’ll learn the 7 guiding principles of No-Yell™ parenting. Rather than a technique, these principles - rooted in brain science and family system dynamics - function like an internal guidance system to empower you to make the best parenting choices, avoid power struggles, and nurture the kind of relationship you want with your child - one that will take you through the teen years and beyond.
