"This course is an eye opener to anyone having difficulties in parenting. At first the role playing was uncomfortable, but as the course went on I realized how valuable it was for me to participate. I have changed my approach with my child and it really works!"

Enlightened Parenting 5 Week Course: How to Connect with Our Kids from Toddlers to Teens presented by Melanie Prager, J.D., C.P.E.
Thursday mornings, 10:00 am - 12:30 pm, for 5 weeks
February 15 through March 15
Los Angeles (Mar Vista), CA
(the January 31 Evening Workshop has been postponed)

The key to building strong relationships with our children is not a product of a punishment or consequence given in a moment in time -- but rather investing the time and effort to gain a greater knowledge and understanding of who our children are as people, as learners, and as physical, emotional and spiritual beings.

Parents will gain critical strategies and proven brain-based approaches to strengthen connections with our children. Parents will also share their experiences and gain support in a discussion group format. Tools will be provided and discussion topics will include - how to:

  • Connect with your child to build strong positive relationships
  • Redirect negative behavior
  • Minimize power struggles
  • Set limits and stick to them
  • Create a surplus in your emotional bank account with your child
  • Teach positive negotiation skills between siblings and friends

This class will appeal to parents of children with all types of learning styles including those who are gifted and 2e.

Register Now! The course is $299 per person or $499 for a couple. 
Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
