Are you longing for more connection with the children in your life? You are invited to an 8-week, online, weekly course on Heart Centered Parenting facilitated by Susan Wildin, MD, CPC. I am a retired developmental behavioral pediatrician and a transformational life coach. I started my Nonviolent Communication journey in 2007.

I believe we can change the current parenting paradigms and improve our relationships and empower our children to make choices based on their needs and the needs of others rather than to gain a reward or avoid a punishment. We shift things by learning self-compassion (understanding what we want from our children and why), empathy (listening deeply to what the children want from us and why) and honest expression of our own needs.

Heart Centered Parenting is for parents of children of all ages, grandparents, educators and anyone else who has contact with children.

Sessions are designed to build on one another, and you can still participate if you need to miss one or more sessions. The format will be 1 hour of topical teaching and practice and one hour of role play with real life issues in each session. I am currently offering two options to meet online. Cohort A will meet on Sundays from 2-4 pm CST from January 12 through March 2, 2025. Cohort B will meet on Tuesdays from 1:30-3:30 from January 14 to March 4, 2025. Please let others know about these offerings, as I will require at least 4 participants for each session for it to go forward because learning is enhanced when you learn with others. Sessions are designed to build on one another, and you can still participate if you need to miss one or more sessions. 

Registration is required so you can receive handouts and the Zoom invitation prior to the meeting. I request $180 for the 8-week course, but any amount will be gratefully accepted. All funds received will go to support Houston NVC. Please contact me at [email protected] to discuss the fee request or have any other questions.
