Winter Parent Education: The Simplicity Parenting Workshop

Help your child become calmer, happier and more cooperative. Bring peace and connection to your family.

The Simplicity Parenting Workshop
with Mary Van Geffen, Certified Simplicity Parenting Coach®

7 transformative, 2-hour gatherings
Wednesdays, 9:15 AM – 11:15 AM
February 4 – March 25, 2015
Maple Village Waldorf School in Long Beach
Explore the power of less to bring more peace and connection to your family.  Join a small group of parents of young children (1 – 9 years old) and learn to:

– identify and prioritize what matters most for your unique family
– recognize when your child (or you) is overwhelmed so you can bring healing
– creatively address your child’s misbehavior and build connection
– strengthen your ability to stay calm in the middle of big emotions
– become more united with your co-parent

Together, we will strengthen our ability to simplify and slow down the home environment, create predictable and connecting rhythms, simplify your schedule and filter out adult concerns & media.

Space is limited to only 10 parents.
The curriculum for each gathering builds upon the previous one.
Tuition is $225 per person (or $375 per couple)
