Raising Rooted Kids announces parenting education series
(Update: Adding video)
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Raising Rooted Kids announces a new workshop series for parents of young children starting March 15 and meeting once a month for four sessions.
The workshop series, titled Nurturing Positive Parenting, will explore topics including power struggles, resilience, and big feelings and give parents practical tools to approach discipline (the word means “to teach”) with kindness AND firmness, rooted in the Positive Discipline approach.
“Raising Rooted Kids believes that to best serve our youngest people, we must also serve their first teachers: the parents and caregivers. My intention for this workshop series is to reimagine support for families in early parenting with an emphasis on raising resilience, lowering stress, and improving relationships,” said Founder Rhea Grogan.
As a licensed elementary school teacher with a specialization in early education, a curriculum designer, and yoga instructor, Grogan uses the foundations of Jane Nelson’s Positive Discipline to provide caregivers a practical approach to developing kind and firm boundaries, positive skill building, and the belief that when children feel better, they do better. Raising Rooted Kids Positive Discipline Education provides sensible tools to help parents enjoy the glorious and messy job of raising kids.
