Overview
You can host the Cooperation, Consequences, and Keeping Your Sanity seminar at at your church. We’ve trained several presenters who will energize, excite, and equip parents to move from behavior modification to a heart-based approach to parenting. We’ve also written children’s curriculum that enables you to teach kids things that complement what the parents are learning. Each adult participant receives a Parent Manual (retail $9.99).
Cost
The cost is $350 Booking and Support fee (payable to NCBP to confirm the seminar) plus $15 per adult attendee (payable to the Presenter at the conclusion of the seminar). There’s a minimum guarantee of $750 to the Presenter (50 attendees). We suggest you charge $20 per person, thus receiving $5 back per person once you meet your minimum guarantee. We also would ask you to pay the Presenter’s travel expenses, which are likely minimal, since we have trained presenters throughout the country.
Here’s What It Looks Like
Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm, offering several sessions.
The following is a typical schedule.
Session #1 – Teaching Kids to Listen and Follow Instructions
Parents often become frustrated because their kids don’t listen. In this session we take apart the instruction process and point out five steps for children ages 2 to 18. Parents learn how to teach cooperation and responsibility in this practical session.
Session #2 – Correction Ideas that Touch the Heart
The goal of discipline is a changed heart. This session gives parents several hands-on tools to use when children need to be corrected. A change of heart is defined in practical terms and parents go away with a plan to use seven categories of consequences to motivate heart change in their kids. The underlying principle taught is that behavior modification is not enough. Parents must keep an eye on the heart.
Session #3 – Ending Discipline Times with Impact
Parents often don’t know how to end discipline in a constructive way. This session explains a routine for helping children process correction and learn from the experience. Teaching children about repentance and forgiveness are heart gifts discussed here. This tool is especially helpful for children who blame others or have a victim mentality.
The seminar is practical, giving parents hands on tools to take home and put into practice right away. The seminar ends by talking about God’s desire to touch the hearts of parents, not just their kids. Parents leave the seminar encouraged, armed with lots of practical strategies and a new vision for touching the hearts of their children.
