This class is appropriate for parents of toddlers through teens. We cover simple (but not always easy!), yet highly-effective communication skills applicable to parenting through class exercises, discussion, reading, and ‘homework’ (i.e. practicing at home), and demonstrate how the skills can be used in age-appropriate ways. Many participants happily report the skills have also improved their adult relationships!

Class size is small (no more than 10 people) which allows for individualized coaching from Shelly and a powerful group dynamic.

TESTIMONIALS
“I got so much out of these classes and found them to be the most helpful support I had found since I had kids. In addition to impacting my parenting, the workshops influenced my teaching as well. I am so happy to have this resource for parents right here at Silver Music.”
-Ellen Silver”Shelly is a gifted moderator, listener and coach and I can’t recommend the Workshop enough.”
-Kate C.”Since taking Shelly’s class, I have become a more joyful and present parent and I wish all parents could learn her techniques. Thank you, Shelly!”
-Nancy D.

“I took Shelly’s class because a mother who had such a positive experience brought her child for a visit and I began inquiring about the dramatic difference from his previous visits. I was so struck with how good the kid was, I began researching and registered for the first class with Shelly I could get myself into.”
