Marni Parsons, CPC.PDTC, is a PCI Certified Parent Coach, Family Consultant & Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, mother of two teenage girls, wife of one big boy.  Her monthly Question and Answer Parenting Column can be found in the Culver City News.  She is passionately committed to guiding, supporting, educating and comforting parents so that they can experience greater confidence, less stress, and more joy.  She encourages parents to develop a toolbox of unique skills so they can go to bed every night proud of the parent they are, and confident that they are doing what's best for their children.

Description:  Are you stuck in a parenting rut?  Do you find yourself bribing, threatening and punishing your kids to get them to cooperate?  Do you wish you had more effective tools in your parenting toolbox?  Do you want to raise children who are self-disciplined, cooperative and respectful?  Do you need more support as a parent?  Then this seven week workshop is for you!

Together we will explore Positive Discipline methods and techniques.  You will learn why punishment doesn't work in the long run, and more productive ways to find solutions that work for your family.  I guarantee that you will walk away with the tools and skills you need to immediately gain greater cooperation from your childreen or teenager.
