Restorative Practices for Parents and Caregivers
A FREE, ONLINE opportunity to learn about Restorative Practices and how to implement them in your home effectively.
Restorative Practices offer an effective, relationship-based approach that can transform family conflicts and increase positive connections between family members. When we use restorative practices at home, we:
✅ Increase our children's emotional and social intelligence
✅ Support our children’s communication skills
✅ Cultivate positive relationships even when conflict arises.
Join us and learn simple techniques that can help manage sibling conflicts and conflicts between parents (or caregivers) and children. We will give you a clear overview of:
🤝 What Restorative Practices are and are not
🤝 How to proactively build relationships, respond to challenges
🤝 Managing conflict
🤝 Approaches to discipline with a restorative mindset
When we can give children consistency in restorative practices at home and at school, the benefits of this work are magnified greatly!
This virtual event is FREE and open to all! If you can't make the live event, a Zoom recording will be sent to you.
