Here's the 10 week lineup of TeleSeminars:
Week 1
11am: Unconditional Acceptance...moving beyond Unconditional Love...99.99% of humans before us have experienced both, so why aren't we (I know I haven't!)? Here's how to give it to our children and break another cycle...
8PM: Punishments and Coercion: both of these create short term compliance but also long term defiance. Learn why in the long run, neither are effective and simply cause more problems than they may solve in the short term...
Week 2
11am: Cooperation vs. Obedience: Heck, we'd all love children and dogs that simply listened to us and did what we say, but what is it that we truly want for our kids: mindless obedience or people that can think for themselves? Uncovering what Cooperation really looks like will help us find a model to follow and role-model...
8PM: Rewards: The opposite of Punishments but with the same result: they undermine our intrinsic worth and erode the trust that our children feel...
Week 3
11am: The In-arms Stage: How long does it last and why is it that important? And if we've missed it, what can we do...
8PM: Curbing our Children's Impulses: Why do we (the civilized) believe that we have to curb children's impulses to socialize them, instead of believing we are innately social beings? How can we trust what we've been trained not to?!
Week 4
11am: Choice: How do we give our children choice safely? What have children done with it from time immemorial and what can we do to develop their skills in making decisions...
8PM: Competition: A natural part of humanness or a sign of something missing?
Week 5
11am: Taking Responsibility for our Children: Where do we draw the line so that we keep them safe without creating problems...
8PM: What is our "Evolved Nature"? Why our subconscious mind has evolved to take care of us and how our immense intellect can undermine it so radically, if we let it...
Week 6
11am: Self-Reliance: How do we teach this to our children?
8PM: Getting Around Without a Car: We'll explore practical tips for walking, biking, and busing as a family...
Week 7
11am: We Are What We Eat! How to inspire our children to eat well so we can all feel better...
8PM: To Vaccinate or Not: let's look at the facts and see what is helpful and what is not...
Week 8
11am: The Political Underside of the Education System: John Taylor Gatto's research and writing has exposed the reals reasons we have brick and mortar schools. If we understand this history, can we safely send our kids to school?
8PM: Natural Learning: Why home- or un-schooling is also called natural learning and how we can facilitate this kind of growth in our children...without being a teacher!
Week 9
11am: Inspiration vs Power Struggle: How to Inspire the behaviours that you desire rather than creating a power struggle...
8PM: "I" Statements: The power of using I statements to express our feelings and needs...
Week 10
11am: Co-sleeping: what exactly is this and why has it been going on for millenia?
8PM: Expectations: do you realize what you're expecting of your child? You may not, but your child certainly does! Let's look at how this works and how we can be more conscious of our expectations...
