WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
Chantal Ardé,
Brisbane QLD
“I’ve read many many books on different methods of parenting throughout the past 18 years and put almost all into practice at one point in our parenting journey. But this one not only makes the most sense but actually works in practice because it allows us parents to delve into the minds of our children and truly understand the reason behind their behaviour and then how to discipline it accordingly.”
Kasey Czajka,
Brisbane QLD
“The most valuable part of the course was the robust group discussions that Mark facilitated excellently. There is so much value in group validation and and problem solving. There is a lot to learn from other parents who are aligned. My husband and I did the course together and now we are parenting as a team so efficiently. Having a strong, practical framework that we both understand has been a complete game-changer. Mark’s flexibility to work with the needs of the class was very validating.”
Ilaria De Fusco,
Sydney NSW
“These six weeks have flown by! This course has opened up a whole new world for me. Being a parent isn't an easy journey, especially with busy working lives and no family help but, I learning the Positive Discipline approach has helped us understand our son’s feelings and behaviours more and will give us the tools to build a better relationship with him as a family.”
WHAT EDUCATORS SAY
Karen Simpson,
Brisbane QLD
“My classroom management has changed! I am coaching students to manage themselves. I have more connection with my students and they are more empowered. I like the changes.”
Leharne Fountain,
Canberra ACT
“Seeing how much fun this approach can be, and the importance of this in building connection was a lasting impression I had. Being involved in role plays and seeing how the approach all culminates in class meetings was also really key for me. I believe it complements the Montessori approach perfectly and fills a missing piece of the puzzle. It should be a mandatory course for all educators, leaders and parents after enrolment.”
Kate Tottle,
Perth WA
“I just wanted to say thank you for the generous provision Montessori Australia made for our staff to participate in the Positive Discipline training. They all got so much out of it, and I know it’s going to make a difference. Even today I was observing a classroom and found myself analysing what a student’s mistaken belief might be!”
