about

This workshop supports the social emotional development of children by helping to reduce challenging behaviors while increasing positive behaviors. 

The parenting class was phenomenal. It was informative as well as entertaining. It showed me more to do and better tactics to use with my son and daughter. Learning that it takes time to change the behavior gives me more hope that it works. Plus the amount of resources available were amazing.

Deanna | Parent at Early Connections

Parent testimonials

“This class is truly life changing if willing to understand and change your behavior so that you can implement these strategies to change your child’s behavior.”
John
Parent at Early Connections
“I love Positive Solutions for Families! It has given me so much information and knowledge on how to make my house structured for my family and how to recognize and help my son label and manage his emotions.”
Miranda
Parent at Early Connections
“This class has been a positive light as parents to 3 littles. The tools you have provided have changed our child’s behaviors. We have seen more communication, positive interactions, and most importantly made us aware of our language to our children. I think everyone should be a part of this class! Thank you so much!”
