Positive Solutions for Families Workshop Series

Positive Solutions for Families: Practical, Playful, and Proven Strategies for Raising Happy, Confident Kids

What is this workshop series?

The Positive Solutions for Families workshop is a welcoming space where parents, grandparents, guardians, and other family members can learn general strategies that support all children’s social and emotional development.

This is not a place for individual therapy or specific advice for your child’s unique needs. If your family could benefit from more individualized support, our facilitators can connect you with local agencies and professionals who can help.

What to Expect:

Interactive, not a lecture — You’ll share ideas, reflect, and join activities rather than sit through a long training.

Family Handbook — Includes guided activities, reflection pages, and simple steps to try at home.

At-home practice — Learn, try it out in the group, and then use the strategies in your everyday routines.

Session Highlights:

1️⃣ Getting Started & Building Connections

Meet other families, set group agreements, and explore your role in supporting your child’s emotional growth.

2️⃣ The Power of Play

Discover how fun and playful moments help children learn and grow.

3️⃣ Understanding Behavior

Learn why children act the way they do, and explore positive, effective responses.

4️⃣ Routines for Success

Create daily routines that work for your family and help children feel secure.

5️⃣ Teaching Social & Emotional Skills

Help your child learn about feelings, calming strategies, and problem-solving.

6️⃣ Prevention & Positive Responses

Use proven strategies to guide behavior and make transitions smoother.

7️⃣ Planning for Success

Build a simple, positive plan for everyday challenges.

Who can join?

We welcome all family networks — parents, grandparents, foster parents, adoptive parents, and legal guardians.

Key Takeaway:

This workshop is about learning together, supporting your child, and building on what you already do well—all through connection, play, and positive guidance.
