Instructors: Robin Thompson, MSW & Jeanne Schwertfeger, Resource/Adoptive Parent

Description: The difference between encouragement and praise is that praise teaches dependency on external feedback, while encouragement teaches internal validation. Based on Conscious Discipline by Dr. Becky Bailey, this workshop will help Resource Parents to raise children to not be dependent on praise from others in developing their sense of self. Instead this workshop will help for Resource Parents to focus on encouragement and the long term effects encouragement has, such as more independent, motivated, and self‐evaluative children.
