Teaching Parenting the Positive Discipline Way (developed by Lynn Lott and Jane Nelsen) provides a step-by-step approach to starting and leading experientially based parenting groups. This program stands alone or offers significant enhancement to any program through experiential activities that reach the heart to inspire deeper understanding and change. Parents love the Parents Helping Parents Problem-Solving Steps because this process provides a fun and effective way for them to get specific help with real problems.

Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott have completed a DVD training that includes 6 1/2 hours filmed at a live training and requires about 5 1/2 hours of homework to practice the skills in order to receive a certificate as a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator (and continuing education hours for California license holders that are regulated by the Board of Behavioral Sciences—which may be accepted by other organizations.). At the end of this training, you will be ready to lead parenting classes and/or improve your skills as a parent educator regardless of the setting in which you work (counseling office, pre-school, etc.)

This powerful training program prepares adults who work with young people at developing the three perceptions and four skills which determine how effectively they’ll deal with life. Young people who gain strength in these assets normally increase in character, resiliency, and other human intelligences essential for living. They meet lifes’ challenges of learning, relationships, and the work world – successfully.

The Developing Capable Young People program (DCYP) is based on extensive research in the areas of human effectiveness and well being. Since it was developed, use of the Seven Keys to Effective Living has allowed thousands of people worldwide to unlock the potential of their lives and relationships.
