Positive Parenting Workshops – Primary Section
In a bid to share good practice and how we approach to discipline in school and to continue to build strong relationships with our parents, the Primary Section are half way through their 3rd set of parenting workshops in positive discipline. Following their final training with the Positive Discipline Association in Barcelona recently, Mylena Fuentes and Sonja Sutcliffe are the first Certified Positive Discipline Trainers in Saudi Arabia and have thrown themselves into offering six-week courses with our parents. So far over 90 parents have attended such courses and around 50 more are now almost half way through the current 6-week courses.

- The 5 criteria of positive discipline are…
- Helping children feel a sense of connection (Belonging and Significance)
- Is mutually respectful and encouraging (Kind and Firm at the same time)
- Is effective long-term. (Considers what the child is thinking, feeling and deciding about himself and his world and what to do in the future to survive or to thrive)
- Teaches important social and life skills. (Respect, concern for others, problem solving and cooperation as well as the skills to contribute to the home, school or larger community)
- Invites children to discover how capable they are(encourages the constructive use of personal power and autonomy

| Below are some of the feedback comments we have received from past workshops. |
- ‘I see a great change in my own attitude towards my child, have better behaviour from my child. The more positive approach has given me a happier child and we are happier parents’
- Happier family, more confident children’
- ‘When we put ourselves in the shoes of the child, this was very powerful and I have learnt a lot about my own behaviour and how to change it.’
- ‘I loved the course it was very useful and fun! We learned a lot of new ways in parenting positively.’
- My house changed a lot, it’s more calm and understanding. I love the changes.’
- ‘I would recommend this course to all parents, its’ life changing’
- We plan to continue to offer such workshops and hopefully train some parents to be trainers in the future.
