Positive Indian Parenting is an eight week course focusing on traditional and culturally specific parenting practices and values. We will explore attitudes in a variety of traditional child-rearing ways and apply them to values and challenges of modern parenting skills.

Session 5: Traditional Behavior Management

This session is designed to explore behavior management through looking at traditional ways and modern skills. It examines several old teachings about discipline and introduces the parent to modern concepts. Parents are asked to examine the values behind the old ways and apply those values when guiding their children’s behavior.

In this session parents will learn:

• to recognize some ways in which Indian parents have historically managed the behavior for their children
• that discipline is the teaching of self-control
• how to provide their child with limits and consequences that will be respectful and kind

Dinner and childcare are provided.
