Thanks!

Katie Gaebel, alumni teacher who taught with us for seventeen years at The Acorn, is teaching a course on Positive Parenting Strategies in our upcoming STEP Parenting Class.  Katie earned her BA in Special and Early Childhood Education and holds her Master’s Degree in Elementary School Counseling.  She has enthusiastically led these STEP parenting courses for many years, and parents have gained a new perspective and set of skills to use in parenting.

The STEP program teaches extremely positive approaches to understanding and raising children. The STEP approach includes appreciating that children’s behaviors are motivated by a variety of goals, that encouragement for children becoming the best that they can be is extremely important, and that family councils for making decisions for and with children are highly valued.

The STEP program teaches a variety of parenting skills and strategies, including:
Understanding Yourself and Your Child 
Understanding Young Children’s Behavior
Understanding Beliefs and Feelings  
Building Self-Esteem in the Early Years 
Effective Listening and Talking to Your Child 
Effective Discipline 
Problem Solving 
Natural and Logical Consequences 
Encouragement: Encouraging Your Child and Yourself 
Communicating with Young Children 
Helping Children Learn to Cooperate 
Discipline that Makes Sense 
Understanding Your Parenting Style
Choosing Your Approach
Nurturing Emotional and Social Development
The Goals of Child Misbehavior 
The Courage to be Imperfect 

The classes will be held on Tues. mornings, from 9:20 to around 11:30, starting Jan. 7.  The cost will be $90 for one parent and an additional $55 if both parents attend.  This includes one parent workbook per family that will be used throughout the course.  Please mark your calendars now
