Positive Discipline: Fill Your Toolbox with Solutions

Lori Onderwyzer | Positive Discipline Associates

Children by nature are good, open and ready to learn, yet in an average classroom or afterschool program today there may be one or even many students who don’t appear to be so.

This workshop helps unpack the reasons for this mal-adaptive behavior, including the impact of trauma and the resulting challenges. In the first half, we will focus on why people do what they do. With this understanding in place, the second half of the workshop will focus on tools and strategies that create long-term restorative solutions and build the missing connections to reach challenging students. You will leave with renewed hope and commitment to the idea that every child is capable of doing the right thing, even when no one is looking. You’ll participate in experiential activities to help you gain understanding at the “heart” level as well as the intellectual.
