Restoring Peace: Practical Tools for Parents and Families

This Restorative Parenting class focuses on providing parents with the tools and skills they can utilize with their children throughout different developmental stages through a Restorative Practices lens. These include: setting boundaries and limitations, listening and responding to show genuine interest/concern, problem-solving, and intentional relationship building. 

‘Restoring Peace’ utilizes the power of empathy to strengthen relationships, while at the same time teaching parents to hold their children accountable for their actions.  After this class, parents will have a solid understanding of the basics of Restorative Practices and how and why to incorporate them into their parenting. At The Conflict Center, we help build a community of support, where parenting challenges are normalized and parents can provide each other with confidence and shared learning experiences.
