Experience is knowledge, and anything else is just information." -Albert Einstein As a parent of three grown children, and nursery school teacher with 20 years experience, Janet Cowan, is highly experienced and has depth of knowledge. She is passionately willing to share with parents her excellent understanding of parenting. Through numerous Adlerian courses and workshops, Janet has acquired the theoretical principles of Individual Psychology. She has studied at the Adler School of Professional Psychology of Ontario. She has co-lead and lead a number of courses. Through word of mouth from satisfied clients, parents join her classes, and learn highly effective ways to improve their parenting skills. Because her groups are fun, relaxed, but lively, participants learn how to be encouraged. She provides an emotionally safe, non-judgmental environment. The course is not a formula to fix parents and children. It's an eight week opportunity to gain insight into the purpose of behaviour. You will learn practical ways to handle everyday problems, such as bedtime delays, food issues, temper tantrums, fighting etc. The images below represent the comfortable place in which the course is held. Tea, coffee and other tasty treats are freely available during and after the course. Feel free to e-mail janetcowan@parentingpositively.com with all your queries. .
