I’ve been familiar with the Beyond Consequences Institute parenting paradigm for about a year, but it didn’t really click until I attended a BCI Live presentation last spring. There’s nothing like seeing this method in action and actually being able to role play scenarios that might happen with your child.
The on-line parenting classes provide this same opportunity — on a weekly basis! I was very anxious and dysregulated about the new school year, so I decided to enroll in the on-line class right before school started.
That decision is one of the best I’ve ever made.
For the first time, I went to the school armed with techniques for use by both the classroom teacher and special school district teachers.
I finally felt like the expert on my own child!
These extremely cost-effective parenting classes are worth every penny and moment of your time.”
