Beyond rewards and punishments
Parenting without nagging, bribery or imposed consequences
Sunday, August 2nd
Online
(scroll down for the July 26th in-person workshop in Port Townsend)
You’ve heard of Authoritarian parenting and permissive parenting, but did you know there’s a third path that doesn’t involve stuffing your own needs or forcing your children to do things they don’t want to do?
-Would you like to know how to break free from everyday power struggles around things like homework, chores, and hygiene?
-Would you like to get out of the endless cycle of offering incentives or withholding favorite activities to motivate your children?
-Would you like to support your children in finding joy, satisfaction and pride in being responsible, contributing members of their household?
-Would you like to trust that your kids see and care about your needs and are willing to support you in getting more of them met because they love you - not because they’ll get more screen time for unloading the dishwasher?

Any parent who has used rewards and punishments (sometimes euphemistically referred to as “consequences”) knows how exhausting and costly this endless cycle of “give to get” and “do to avoid” is. In this 4 hour workshop, you’ll learn a simple and effective alternative to external motivation tactics that doesn’t just cultivate intrinsic motivation, but also results in a higher quality of parent-child connection.
In this classwe’ll explore
How rewards and punishments damage human relationships and what to do instead when we want our kids to be open to something we’re asking of them.
The crucial information most parents aren’t sharing with their kids that ignites their intrinsic motivation
The common reason kids don’t do the things we ask of them - even when we nag, bribe them, or impose a consequence.
Why rewards and punishments create more sibling conflicts and how to foster collaboration between siblings instead.
Supporting my sustainability
I long to live in a world where all humans can participate in enriching offerings and spaces, regardless of their ability to offer money. And because we all live within the constraints of capitalism, I have material needs that can’t be met without money. I am committed to making this class available to anyone who feels committed to collaboration with children. If the requested amount below is possible for you, even if it requires you to make some strategic financial decisions to make it a manageable stretch, please offer the full amount, so that my own material needs can be met. If the suggested amount would create actual financial hardship for you, please email me at janne@themotherloom.com.

Community Supported conflict
An introductory workshop on peer-to-peer Impact digestion
Sunday, May 31st
10am-4pm in Port Townsend, Wa
Would you like to know how to be useful within a conflict field?
Would you like to help liberate people you care about from the suffering that occurs when conflict arises?
Would you like to support yourself and others in shifting behaviors that keep resulting in relational ruptures, and do it in a radically non-judgmental way?
Would you like to contribute to a community culture that lovingly invites people back into connection and integrity with themselves and others, instead of cancelling them?
Would you like to support people in increasing trust in themselves and life, regardless of what other people do, or how a conflict works out?
description:
Conflicts impact more people than just those directly involved. We all know this. How many of us have felt the pain and discomfort of being stuck in the middle of a rupture within our family, workplace or friend groups? In this 6-hour introduction to Community Supported Conflict, you’ll learn concepts and tools that can help transform negative impacts into an opportunity for liberation, learning and deeper connection and trust. While the workshop focuses on supporting others with impacts, all the tools that will be shared can be applied to your own life and conflicts as well.
In this workshop we’ll explore…
Releasing the goal of “neutrality” and embracing radical care for everyone involved in a conflict field.
The vital difference between offering someone empathy and reinforcing painful, judgmental and often inaccurate narratives about what others did.
Supporting people in connecting to their own feelings and needs so they can accompany themselves with compassion, agency and authenticity.
Supporting people in releasing the other person as the sole strategy for meeting their needs.
Helping people shift from making assumptions about someone else’s intentions, to finding relaxed curiosity and openness to the other person’s experience.
Holding and sharing a systemic lens so that people can see how power and privilege differences may be contributing to rupture.
