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:

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).
