Heart Centered Parenting Spring 2022– Susan Wildin, MD, Certified Professional Coach started May 7, 2022
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. We will meet online on Saturdays from 10:00 am-12:00 noon CDT from May 7 through June 25, 2022. Timing is flexible. If you are interested and you prefer different times, please let me know at the email below.
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.
Registration is required so you can have handouts and the Zoom invitation prior to the meeting. I request $180 for the 8 week course and any amount will be accepted gratefully. Please contact me at susan@wildins.net if you need to request a dialogue about the fee request or have any other questions.

Projects and lasting partnerships have evolved through people meeting each other in our workshops. Workshops are offered online and in-person. The in-person opportunities allow for a heightened experience of integration whereas the online workshops offer ease and accessibility. Houston NVC is committed to offering entry level courses as well as advanced work. We are also open to requests and love to hear feedback on what works and what doesn’t. Since we aim to service multiple time zones with our online courses, you will want to check our calendar regularly for changes.
