Suitable for paretns of kids aged 3 through 10 years old, this every-other-week series will deliver turn-by-turn instructions on how to stay in charge and stay grounded while learning to become a relaxed leader. Polly will demonstrate a fresh approach to leading without hovering, bribing, threatening or blowing your top.
Polly’s LAB (Language. Attachment. Boundaries) Method helps each parent anchor themselves to critically important attachment science and boundary setting principles with a focus on cultivating a healthy hierarchy at home (yes, there is a world where you don’t feel like you are working for your kid).
Autonomy: You will gain confidence in your own decision making and learn to trust in your kid’s drive to be autonomous and independent. You will learn how to stop over-functioning so your kid can be become competent and confident.
Language: You will learn when to talk and when to stop talking; what to say when your kid gets stuck in the tantrumming gear, and when not to say anything at all.
Relaxed leadership: Imagine being able to let go of bribing, baiting, yelling and threatening your kid to get them to listen and follow your lead. Imagine if you had tools to keep your cool. Yep, every single class will light the way…

- Polly will not be wearing a mask while teaching but each attendee is welcome to wear a mask according to their preference.
- Class size will be limited to reduce risk of transmission.
