Parenting doesn’t come with a manual. Parenting classes usually emphasize discipline and communication rarely the importance of managing emotions, overcoming adversity or fostering academic success. Positive psychology gives us the tools necessary to do this. In our workshops we partner with parents to teach them about the multitude of empirically based theories regarding increasing happiness, resilience and a growth mindset. All classes and workshops are delivered in groups of 10 or more participants. Improved quality of relationships, strengthened resilience and a better understanding of how to nurture academic success are among just a few of the benefits of participation in these workshops.
Five Week Happiness Habits Workshop
When parents are asked what they most want for their children, the near-universal response is, “I just want my kids to be happy.” Unfortunately, most parents aren’t taught how to effectively achieve this goal. According to the science, when it comes to raising happy children, there are a few basic habits parents can encourage their children to develop. And the research is very clear – happier children are better students and more likely to turn into successful, accomplished adults. For one hour, one day a week for four consecutive weeks we partner with parents to teach them the habits that science shows will enable them to increase their happiness and that of their children. In this interactive workshop each week parents are encouraged to select and commit to practicing a happiness increasing exercise.

Five Week Academic Success Workshop
Studies show that learning how to work hard is as important, if not more important, to academic success as intelligence. Research tells us that the non-cognitive skill of grit – passion and perseverance for long term goals – is just as important to achievement as is talent, if not more so. A growth mindset fosters grit and has shown to improve academic achievement. For one hour, one day a week for four consecutive weeks we partner with parents to teach them the tools that will enable them to foster in their children the non – cognitive skills science tells us are essential for success.
