• • Are you getting worn down by morning mayhem, bedtime battles, sibling scuffles, dawdling and defiance?
  • Do you try to avoid using threats, bribes and punishments, but find yourself using them anyway, just to survive the day?
  • Would you like to learn practical and effective methods that will make life with little kids easier and more satisfying?

“How To Talk” is an experiential, effective and highly engaging program for parents and caregivers of children ages two to seven, based on the best selling book by Joanna Faber and Julie King.  Each week you will leave the session with practical strategies that you can implement immediately to improve communication and discipline and enhance your relationships at home.

This online workshop meets using Zoom.us. Space is limited to give all participants the opportunity to practice and ask questions. Sessions are not recorded for privacy reasons.

“This workshop was WONDERFUL! It was so helpful to talk to Julie and hear her wise and experienced take on so many of the struggles that we go through as parents to little children every day. She has such a graceful way to help us see the impact of our words on our children and how we can shift our thinking and way we speak to really help them be problem solvers and want to cooperate. I highly recommend it!”

• Do your kids bicker, argue or fight almost every day… or almost every minute?? 
• Could you use some tools to improve relations? 
• Do you find yourself unable to think of what to say or do in the heat of the moment?

It’s one thing to read a book or watch a parenting video, and quite another to put all those “reasonable, common sense” tools to work in the moment when the kids are fighting, arguing or bickering.

If you find yourself threatening, or yelling, or just at a loss, join me for this hands-on, practical, experiential, interactive 3-week workshop for parents of children ages 4 to 16. We’ll cover concrete strategies to reduce the conflict and help everyone get along. And you’ll get practice using those strategies, feedback to help you get better dealing with the actual conflicts in your home, and answers to your questions.

Participants will be asked to come having read Part One of How To Talk When Kids Won’t Listen, and you’ll have a few short reading assignments during the four weeks. But your most important homework assignment will be to try the tools and strategies from the workshop, and report back.

Feedback from a workshop participant: “The level of hostility and conflict in my home is down substantially since the workshop! I’m amazed that the kids have been able to come to agreements so quickly. Highly recommend!”

For graduates of any multi-week workshop with Julie King:

• Have you been slipping back into old habits since the workshop?

• Is it hard to remember the How To Talk tools in the heat of the moment?

• Could you use some new inspiration or strategies for your current challenges-with-kids?

You can choose from two options to attend, the free option and the paid option.

      ~~ Here’s the free option: ~~

1. Bring one story about how you’ve used any How To Talk tool with success, with one (or more) of your children. [Hint: Remember acknowledging feelings with words? Engaging cooperation by giving information? Being playful? Resolving conflicts by using problem solving? Praising by describing what you see? And there are many more!]

2. You agree to invite one or more friends who have not taken a How To Talk workshop. Please invite people who you think could benefit from the experience — maybe a fellow parent, a skeptical spouse, a curious preschool teacher, an involved grandparent, or a devoted nanny.

        ~~ Here’s the paid option: ~~

1. Early bird fee (ends December 4): USD $15 per person or USD $22 per couple.

    Regular fee: USD $25 per person or USD $35 per couple.

2. You are encouraged to bring one story about how you’ve used any How To Talk tool with success, with one (or more) of your children.

       ~~ Here’s the plan: ~~

We’ll begin by sharing your stories. For the remainder of the hour, we’ll address the questions and challenges of the group by brainstorming strategies and practicing and reviewing the How To Talk tools.

My goal is to support you in your parenting, while you help me introduce more people to the How To Talk workshops.

Friends-of-graduates are welcome to just observe, or to join in if they wish.
