Based on the work of Jane Nelson & Lynn Lott, Positive Discipline teaches parents how to use non-punitive tools to create a respectful and loving relationship with their children. By attending a Positive Discipline course, you will learn how to: 

• Disengage from power struggles with your child using a multitude of Positive Discipline tools
• Set clear boundaries and follow through 
• Use feeling encourager statements rather than feeling stoppers
• Invite your child to self calm rather than be sent to time out
• Celebrate your child’s mistakes as learning opportunities for valuable life skills
• Use encouragement instead of praise to give your child a strong sense of internal motivation
• Create fun routine charts for morning and evening schedules 

Positive Discipline courses are offered over 2 consecutive Sundays (2 x 4.5 hrs) at the Montessori East School, Bondi. Participants work in an interactive group environment, experiencing first hand a variety of Positive Discipline tools. 

All course work material & resources are included in the cost of the course.

Freddie & Prue are the only qualified educators offering Positive Discipline as a couple in Australia. They bring their own family experiences of raising four children to each course.

• 'Thanks so much for all of your time and energy over the past few weeks. It’s been a great help. Somehow it’s all totally intuitive and obvious and yet totally new and a completely different perspective'. Adam

• 'In these past few weeks, I have had lots of opportunities to apply the tools that I learnt during the course. Some that I have success with and others not so much. But as I learnt with you, I’m not expecting to be a perfect parent, but to always look for opportunities to improve'. Priscilla

• 'Thanks, Freddie and Prue for the most life-changing course. I thought I had done a lot of reading and podcasting to improve myself as a parent. But this course was next level. Even in the space of 3 weeks, it has monumentally improved our lives. I have rediscovered my patience thanks to you two (for the most part, not aiming for perfection anymore)'.
