Parent Workshop: The Danger of Raising 'Nice Kids'

posted 03/17/2010

Date: Monday, March 22
Time: 7:00-9:00 pm
Place: Outback Teen Center, 71 Main Street, New Canaan
Cost: $20 per individual, $35 per couple (includes workbook for each participant)

Open to all in the community.

The Danger of Raising Nice Kids is an engaging presentation designed for parents of elementary and secondary age children who want more than nice kids (nice=sophisticated, and entitled, but not necessarily ready for life). Tim challenges parenting techniques which focus on externals-- grades, athletics, appearance, performance, and even manners--and instead challenges parents to parent from the inside out.

It includes material on:

Nine qualities that parents often don't teach
The ABC's you and your child need to know
Developing a family mission statement
Why "nice" is not enough

Presented with media, humor, and practical steps for application.
