About Parent Educator, Laurie Wong
I have the great honor of teaching mothers and fathers how to become the best parents to their children. For over 25 years, I have taught Parent Workshops to families within the Poway Unified School District and San Diego Unified School District. Nothing gives me greater joy than to create peace and harmony between parents and kids. Through my Workshops, parents realize:
As a new Mother, I thought I had the skills to raise two happy, well-behaved daughters, but I found myself ill-prepared to be the ideal parent. That started my quest to transform my own parenting skills and seek knowledge of what motivats children to behave the way they do. After graduating with a degree in Music Therapy, my education includes certification in Dr. Jane Nelsen’s “Positive Discipline Parent Educator Facilitator Training” and “Positive Discipline in the Classroom Training”. I was also trained by H. Stephen Glenn in the “Developing Capable Leadership” program and by Dr. Michael Popkin, Ph.D in the “Facilitating Active Parenting of Teens” program. Additionally, I have been educated and certified in many other parenting coursework, methodologies, and philosophies.
I create Workshops that empower parents to address the issues that are relevant to the behaviors and needs of today’s children in a non-judgmental, guilt-free environment. Watching parents learn from one another, laugh at their mutual mistakes, and find relief from their daily stress with updated developmental, societal knowledge is a phenomenal experience! This is my life’s work and I want to share it with you. Peace begins at home – and yes, if I can do it, you can too.
- They are not alone and they can learn how to connect with their children, resolve conflicts, and reduce stress.
- No matter what their background or past experience, they can become confident parents that build happiness at home.
- They can see immediate results when they apply skills learned from my Workshops.
