The Love and Logic approach is a method of parenting that allows us to have less stress and better interactions while raising and teaching our children. Love allows children to grow through their mistakes. Logic allows children to live with the consequences of their choices. This six-week course, which comes with a workbook, will provide effective tools to help you teach children to be responsible, and to prepare them for life in the real world. Using Love and Logic methods will help you take back control and develop a better relationship with your child! Participants should plan to attend all sessions.

Online Workshop: Unpacking Anxiety with Special Guest Presenter Jessica Sinarski, LPCMH
2026-11-17 18:00 - 20:00 | Virtual via Zoom
Special Guest Presenter: Jessica Sinarski, LPCMH
Our brain alarms help us survive, but when they get extra protective and leave us feeling anxious, it can be tough to do even the simplest thing. For many of our kids, anxiety is a constant companion that makes everyday tasks feel impossibly hard. Anxiety can cause our kids to look at every situation through a “worst possible outcome” lens, leaving them feeling incapable of doing things like homework assignments, chores, or even participating in their favorite sport. Sometimes, anxiety can look like intentional disobedience or outright defiance, sometimes it can look like the child just doesn’t care, or that they just don’t want to try hard enough. But what if it’s the case for your child that it’s anxiety that’s taking over, leaving them feeling completely stuck under the fear of the unknown? This workshop will provide parents with information, proven strategies, and practical tools to help their children say HELLO to their anxiety, and to tackle those moments when everything just seems too overwhelming to even try.
Jessica Sinarski, LPCMH, is an award-winning author who translates neuroscience into action steps and practical tools that kids and families can begin to use immediately to help harness the power of their amazing brains. Jessica has spent her entire career working with children who have challenging behaviors and the caring adults in their lives.
