The series is carefully designed to  help you transform your relationship with your children. During the course we will go over the notion of intentional parenting, learn the philosophy and principles of nonviolence, and reflect on our own childhoods. You will learn about the science of brain development and child development, as well as start building emotional literacy. We will practice a new language of connection, understanding, and empathy.
