Family Meetings - How To Make Them A Success

Does any of these scenarios resonate with you?

A deep feeling of regret of becoming a parent because you think you are failing
Constant power struggles with your children that leave you feeling out of control, overwhelmed, angry, frustrated, and guilty
Children are uncooperative and out of control with constant back-talking, disrespect, and sibling fights
Other parenting strategies have failed and harsh strategies (e.g., spanking) are your last resort
Communication is filled with screams, yelling, shouts, and name calling

If you answered yes to any of the above, Family Meetings: How to Make Them A Success is for you!

The purpose of the course is to support and encourage families to create a structure via family meetings that focus on non-punitive and non-permissive strategies in solving problems within the family.

By learning how to successfully conduct family meetings, your children will have the opportunity to develop most of the characteristics and life skills you hope for them, including a sense of belonging and the belief that they are capable. You will have the opportunity to avoid power struggles when you invite problem-solving instead of lecturing and micromanaging.

It has been an illuminating exploration of self-awareness with immediate benefits – I feel I have been given real tools, learned new parenting (and life) skills and received invaluable advice to help me really see how to reverse and/or improve on habits and negative patterns to the benefit of all family members. Taniesha is so honest, patient, knowledgeable and insightful – it’s been a true education!!! ~ Sarah-Jane, mother of children ages 5 and

I have learned how to set the rules together with the children in family meetings; and how important it is to follow the rules consistently. I have seen the relationships between myself and the kids becoming more harmonious and we have all things better in control. The kids have also less conflicts between themselves. Taniesha is a great trainer and coach! ~ Jasmine, mother of 10-year-old
