“Good Boy!!!” When a Boy hears this it’s generally because he pleased an adult. Rather than pleasing others to be a “good boy,” we empower boys to build strong identity, high character, and emotional maturity. An identity that is intentionally created with an emphasis on high character, masculine, and feminine energies.
Good Boy is a 4 week class that teaches boys character strengths and the importance of developing a high character for lifetime success. Good Boys will be High Character boys!!! After establishing high character, Good Boys will learn how to interplay masculine and feminine energies in day to day life.
Life comes at us from a lot of different directions. Sometimes it’s good. Sometimes it’s not so good. No matter what goes on in your life, you have the ability to control how you think and act. In this class, you'll learn the basic principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While you can’t always change the environment, but you can change the way that you think, feel, and act when life throws you curve balls at work, school, and home.
Does your child suffer from fears and worries, phobias, separation anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, or other anxiety related issues? Do you want to help your child push through his/her fears to become more resilient, independent, and happy? Anxious children often make anxious parents. While anxious parents can also make anxious children. Is your anxious child making you "walk on eggshells" and feel helpless? If so, this event is for you!
We will cover the basics of anxiety from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective. This will give you a better idea of the key areas to be looking for when your child is anxious. We will also discuss how to remain emotionally and physically neutral, while being empathetic to your child. You will learn Cognitive Behavioral parenting strategies to help your child be less dependent on you and more confident to work though anxious situations on his/her own.
The "V" word. VOMIT. The fear of vomiting is one of the most common phobias. Managing the fear of vomiting can be difficult because just the thought of vomiting can make people feel queasy. In turn, it is difficult for anxious people to determine if this queasy feeling is a result of going to vomit or because of the worry about getting sick.
During this class, you will learn the Cognitive Behavioral skills necessary to help you deal with the uncertainty and uncomfortability of when (not if) you will vomit again. We'll help you become more confident that you “will be able to handle” vomiting.

Do you try forcing your kid in the car, take away his/her iPad "forever," go to work and leave him/her at home..... School Refuser parents, you need help!

What do you want for dinner? Chicken Nuggets. What else do you want for dinner? Chicken Nuggets.

I want more of that."
