Positive Parenting

Navigating Challenges with Empathy & Discipline

Does your day-to-day parenting life feel really hard? Are you dealing with the same behavior issues over and over, but nothing seems to work? Do you find yourself losing patience and feeling irritated with your kids? You're not alone.

Positive Discipline is a parenting approach that helps parents and other caregivers better understand their children and the root causes of behavior issues. It provides valuable tools for establishing healthy boundaries, increasing consistency, and approaching kids (and ourselves) with love, respect, and empathy.

In this session, Open Door Community Health Worker Jessica Rosales will walk through the five criteria of Positive Discipline. She'll share specific strategies you can start using with your children today.

This FREE lunch and learn session is Thursday, November 9, from noon–1 p.m. at Open Door's downtown Muncie health center (333 S. Madison St.). Lunch will be provided. Registration is required, click here.
