Do you spend too much time arguing with your children?
• Is every night a constant battle to get your kids to
do homework?
• Are you tired of repeatedly asking your children to
do something that they still won’t do?
• Can you remember ever being on the "same page"
as your spouse in terms of parenting?
• Are you frustrated with constant calls from the teacher
about your child’s behavior or academic performance?
• Do you go to bed at night and wonder why it seems so
difficult to be a parent?
There is an answer: Family life
does not have to be that way! Read

For
many parents, the skills needed to be an effective caregiver
and advocate for our children are best learned over time within
a community of learners who share similar concerns. We designed
our Building the Body of a Parent course to create a forum for
an ongoing discussion among parents about issues that lie at
the heart of a well-functioning family. Read

including parents and teachers. Yet, many people only focus
on the child instead of the whole picture. At Family Rhythms,
we believe in taking an extra step.

Do
you ever feel like you would be a better parent if you just
understood more about what children can do and how they develop?
Would you be more competent as a parent if you only knew a
little more about discipline than what you learned by being
on the receiving end of it as a child? Do you long for some
concrete steps to take when your child has a tantrum in public?
If any of these thoughts cross your mind, you are in good
company. Read More…
As
parents, we all try to find activities for our children that
will allow them to learn and have fun at the same time. At
Family Rhythms, we have developed a limited number of workshops
for Children and Adolescents that address important issues
about growing up and leaning to take one’s place in
the world. Let us help your child learn to be a more competent
participant in his or her life.

Finding
time to travel to our office for a parenting workshop or family-coaching
session can often be difficult for busy parents. Our "parenting
