I offer a variety of workshops and creates customized workshops upon request. (For speaking and presentations, click here). Currently my in-person workshops are located in Fort Collins, Colorado unless requested otherwise, and are mainly on a per-request basis. (If you are interested in upcoming “telenet” workshops which combine phone conferencing with optional online meeting software, please contact me!) All workshops incorporate interactive exercises, facilitated discussions, and information to help parents find their own answers to parenting issues, based on their values and beliefs. Most workshops are 4-6 sessions, each 2 hours long, one to two weeks apart. Daytime and evening sessions are available, as well as all-day Saturday “intensive” workshops. For most workshops, dates and times are agreed upon by interested group participants prior to the course. Registration is required in advance of all events, and a minimum of 6 committed and paid individuals or couples is needed for workshops to take place.
Discipline & Set Limits Without Punishment Workshop Proactive Long-Term Parenting Workshop Temper Tantrums: Theirs and Ours Workshop
Costs All of my work uses an option where clients can choose what they can afford (within a specified range). I do not want money to be the deciding factor for anyone who cannot afford my services. I’m more than happy to consider barter or other ways of reducing the cost. If you simply cannot afford to pay within the specified range, please contact me directly; I try hard not to turn anyone away due to lack of funds. Cost for a 6-part workshop is based on a self-chosen sliding fee. The base rate is $110 per person, $150 per couple, You may choose to pay whatever you can afford in the range of $70-$110 / person, $80-$150 / co-parents, with no questions asked.
