Learning to Leverage Limit Testing
Shouting, bargaining, and outbursts no longer required
Ever feel like your child or teen is trying to drive you crazy? Can’t figure out whether you’re supposed to be strict or gentle, patient or expressive, silly or serious? What if you could get your kids to cooperate without yet another reward, punishment, bribe, or threat?
Discover why limit testing and boundary pushing is actually a crucial element of healthy child and teen development, one that provides exactly the opportunities you need to instill the values, priorities, and dispositions you want to pass on to your children. Get your kids listening the first time while nurturing safety, cooperation, initiative, and confidence. And save the raised voices for your child’s recital or soccer match.

Beyond Pink and Blue
Supporting kids to bring more of themselves to life
Our understanding of gender has come a long way since our own days on the playground. Gender used to define and constrain many of us. But kids today are finding powerful ways of reimagining and expanding conceptions of gender to more authentically represent who they are inside.
Grounding ourselves in emerging developmental research and professional standards of care, we’ll explore where things are at in the developing conversation around gender-identity. And we’ll identify strategies to support gender-creative kids in ways that will help all of our children feel more safe, supported, and accepted for who they are.

CoCreative Family Check-In
Family life is a joy, but we all know it can also be busy, complicated, and just a little bit messy. Take a moment to step back, assess where things are at with your family, and identify what’s next to best support your kid(s). We’ll reflect on what’s working and what’s not in your parenting and family life by utilizing the CoCreative Family Growth Inventory. Then we’ll partner up into groups with other parents dealing with the same kinds of challenges you are to clarify what your family wants and needs, build on strengths and past successes, and ultimately identify possibilities and solutions that will get your family on a path moving forward.
This workshop utilizes an Appreciative Inquiry approach coupled with a Facilitated Peer Group Coaching model. Participants will have both the opportunity to reflect on and find solutions to the challenges they face in their parenting, as well as learn strategies for communicating and collaborating with others that can be powerful in interactions with family members at home.
