A Conscious Discipline training for parents and caregivers, “Consequences that Work!,” is being offered by United Way Success By 6.

The class will be held from 6:30 am to 8:30 pm on Sept. 11 at St. Francis Xavier Church Parish Center, 2618 Seneca Street.

The Agency said participants will learn how to get rid of stress and bring more joy into your relationship by using consequences to teach, instead of to rescue or to punish the child.

Jill Molli, nationally certified Conscious Discipline trainer, will present the seminar based on Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline®, a social-emotional intelligence program consisting of Brain Smart® strategies for responding rather than reacting to life events.

There is no cost for the training and reservations are needed for free childcare. While the training focuses on parenting of children six years of age and younger, anyone who cares for children of any age is welcome to attend and would benefit from the training.
