Echo Parenting and Education
Nonviolent child raising seeks to eradicate early family violence in the common practices of spanking (60% of American toddlers are spanked), bribes, threats, name calling, shaming, manipulation, being untruthful or praise and rewards. This view moves beyond the current legal definition of child abuse and into a responsible more comprehensive understanding of what violence toward children can be. These forms of early violence are learned in the family under the disguise of punishment. Our understanding of childhood development has grown so rapidly in recent years, that we can now prove that the human brain and heart that are met with empathy in the critical years of development cannot and will not chose a violent life. Professionals can support parents to break the cycle of violence by teaching nonviolent parenting to replace the traditional, punitive parenting paradigm.

The Nurturing Parenting Programs are a family-centered trauma-informed initiative designed to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting parenting and child-rearing practices. The long term goals are to prevent recidivism in families receiving social services, lower the rate of multi-parent teenage pregnancies, reduce the rate of juvenile delinquency and alcohol abuse, and stop the intergenerational cycle of child abuse by teaching positive parenting behaviors. Fee: $250-$500.

Recent research tells us that children are hardwired from birth to connect with others, and that children who feel a sense of connection to their community, family, and school are less likely to misbehave. To be successful, contributing members of their community, children must learn necessary social and life skills. Positive Discipline is based on the understanding that discipline must be taught and that discipline teaches. Certification and manuals available for parents, teachers, childcare providers, youth workers, and others. Lead trainer Penny Davis incorporates ACEs and trauma informed approaches into the Positive Discipline curriculum for parents and educators.
