Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

Positive Discipline Classes Scheduled

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on August 7, 2009

Positive discipline has been a huge resource for my family.  And one of my favorite resources in the upstate is PD Educator, Kelly Pfeiffer.  Kelly teaches classes to families for a ridiculously low price through PRIDE.  Childcare is even available!  All classes last for 4 weeks and meet for 2 hours each week.  They meet at Brookwood Church in Simpsonville.  However, the classes are not affiliated with Brookwood and do not have a religious component.  Here is the fall line-up:

Teaching Your Children to “Fish” – Essential Life Skills for Teaching Independence
Tuesdays, September 1 – September 22, 6:30 – 8:30 pm

Click here to register for this class.

 Preparing children for real life means teaching them how to do laundry, cook, clean, maintain a car and more. Children who feel capable and genuinely needed misbehave less than children who are pampered. This active learning workshop explores the Significant Seven Perceptions and Skills that promote self-reliance in children and teens, teaches family tools for assigning age appropriate chores and helps parents practice follow-through techniques. Two class hours per week. Materials fee of $10.00 required (per family).
 
Don’t Flip Your Lid – Conflict Resolution for Families
Tuesdays, September 29 – October 20, 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Click here to register for this class.
Holding on to your thinking cap isn’t always easy when parenting. In this interactive class, learn about the brain’s emotional hard wiring so you can decrease personal stress overloads. Equip the whole family with de-escalation tools that push the reset button and teach healthy communication habits and self- calming skills. Two class hours per week.  Materials fee of $10.00 required.
Offered by PRIDE Parenting a service of Greenville Hospital System
 
Misbehavior Detectives – Understanding Beliefs Behind Your Child’s Misbehavior
Tuesdays, October 27 – November 17, 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Click here to register for this class.
Use your emotions as clues to reveal the main reasons for most misbehavior. This problem solving workshop will help parents take a closer look at misbehavior to develop new long term strategies for teaching children problem solving skills, responsibility and recovery skills. Two class hours per week.  Materials fee of $10.00 required.
Offered by PRIDE Parenting a service of Greenville Hospital System

If you have questions about the classes, please contact the PRIDE office by calling (864) 454-2102.
