ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:

What type of parenting style do you have? And, more importantly, what is that parenting style teaching your child? In the 1960s, American developmental psychologist Diana Baumrind defined four parenting styles to describe how people tend to parent their children, and it’s a framework we use to this day. In this workshop, Karen Delage will explain the four different styles along with the pros, cons, and impact of each style. Participants will learn how to identify their own predominant parenting style. In addition, our presenter will share concrete tools to support the use of the “balanced” parenting style and encourage participants to integrate their learning through practice and play.
