This highly interactive, experiential, and fun (even online!) Parenting with Positive Discipline workshop series will help you show up as the parent you want to be, and create a home where respectful cooperation is the norm. You'll get tangible, practical tips and tools that are easy to implement and work right away.
I've been offering this series via Zoom Meetings since 2016, so this is not an experimental delivery method for me. We'll role-play, practice skills, and have large and small group discussions just as we would in-person.

- What it looks and sounds like to parent with kindness and firmness at the same time
- Specific words you can use to foster resilience and a "growth mindset" in your children

What People Have To Say About This Virtual Class:
What People Have To Say About This Virtual Class:
Positive Discipline is an amazing platform from which to parent -- its approach is balanced, fair and respectful to all members of the family. I feel grateful to have been introduced to it and wish I had exposure to it earlier. I truly felt calmer after reading the first chapter of Jane Nelsen's book, "Positive Discipline," which was the basis of our class. Marcilie is a brilliant educator -- she is positive, a clear thinker, and highly organized. She's mastered the subject matter and presents both the theories and applied usage of Positive Discipline with just the right balance."- Jill Lindenbaum, Mother of 2 children, Piedmont, CA
Marcilie is a great resource on Positive Discipline. I took her class because I wanted to be a better parent and learn new ways of disciplining. I came away with a solid understanding of the principles and some really good techniques under my belt. I also love that she's easily accessible via email for questions, has a great resource page and that she lets you take the class again for free! I'd highly recommend her.- Corinna Lu, Mother of 2 children, San Francisco, CA
Marcilie is an incredibly skilled facilitator who will help give you the tools to implement the positive discipline parenting approach. I had read about it before and tried to parent that way but found myself floundering and bouncing back and forth between being permissive and frankly, angry, that my kids were walking all over me. This class game me so many tools to improve my relationships with my children and I think it will have a long-term impact on my parenting. I know I will continually consult the resources she provided (my binder is like a bible now!)- Chiara Garonzik, Mother of 2 children, Los Gatos, CA
