Strategies for Parents of Young Children


Become the parent you've always dreamed of being

Do you wonder...

Who can help? Who can you trust?

My name is Jennifer Watanabe.

I ‘ve been working with parents of young children since 1996.

I’ve taught hundreds of positive parenting classes to hundreds of parents. 

  • For 24 years I was a parent education instructor for Bellevue College in Washington state.
  • Since 2007 I’ve been a Certified Parent Coach.
  • Since 2011 I’ve been a Certified Positive Discipline Parenting Educator.

STRUGGLING WITH YOUR CHILD’S TEMPER TANTRUMS?

Why do they happen? What can you do BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the tantrum?

This talk will offer up ways for you to help your child with their big emotions.


POSITIVE PARENTING: ESSENTIALS FOR PARENTS OF TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS

Four-Week Class on these Topics:

  • Compatibility in the Family
  • Cooperation – Help your child “listen”
  • Communication
  • Conflict resolution

You wish your child had better behavior and nothing you do seems to be working. Perhaps you lie awake at night worrying about your relationship with your child. Perhaps you see the look in your child’s eyes.

This class will provide you with encouraging, caring, and research-based ways for you to help your child with their behavior. This program focuses on being nurturing while guiding future behavior in a positive, relationship-building way. You and your child will feel better about being in your family.

This is more than just a parenting class. This class will be presented using a coaching approach. You will get encouragement and guidance as you begin to use what you have learned.

Registration fee is $75. These sessions will be live on Zoom, not pre-recorded. 

What parents have said:

This class “offers an approach that is from the heart and respectful. . . I’ve remained calmer as a parent.”

“This has been a wonderful experience for me as a mom and as a person. “

“Learning about my child’s behavior and his reasons behind it have helped a lot. “

“We understand our son more. I think he feels that and has responded by fighting less; he seems more happy.”

“I feel that I am more patient, [and I] yell less.”

“I love this class. I have more self esteem as a parent and feel more confident in myself.”

And from a child, as told to the parent after the class, “I think I love you more.”

Therapy treats emotional wounds and can be a much-needed family resource.

Coaching and consulting are not therapy. They are ways for a parent to find a new way of working with their child and having a better family life.
