Setting Limits that Build Better Relationships - $15 member / $20 Non-member
Children need adults who care about them to set limits sooner rather than later and with the warmth and authority that strengthens family relationships.  But in our lives as parents, we often find ourselves locked in uncomfortable power struggles with our child.  Join us to learn tools you can use to make setting limits a comfortable, and maybe even enjoyable, part of building a healthy relationship with your child.
