CONNECTION PARENTING IN NEW YORK CITY:
An Innovative Seven-Week Workshop Series
for Optimal Child Development

What is Connection Parenting?

In fact, the most effective parenting tool available is this relationship we have with our child. How do we as loving, nurturing parents maintain that bond when many of today’s outdated parenting practices threaten and disrupt it? The break in the parent/child relationship leaves children prone to inappropriate and troubling behavior as well as open to unhealthy cultural influences.

Developed over a 30-year period by Pam Leo, a writer, parent educator, and childcare provider, Connection Parenting Workshops draw on the latest advancements in brain science and child development. The workshops guide parents into parenting through connection instead of coercion, through love instead of fear.

Who is Connection Parenting For?

Connection Parenting Workshops are for parents and teachers who want to build strong parent/child relationships that can withstand the stress of growing up in our complex society--and New York City is about as complex as you can get.

These revolutionary workshops are geared towards parents, caregivers and teachers of toddlers through teens, but you can never have these tools too early!
