Dreikurs

Dreikurs Study Group is a 6 week book discussion for parents and is offered twice a year (Fall and Winter). The group meets in the vestibule at school right after morning carpools in the Fall. The Winter group meets in the evenings to better accommodate working parents.

Lisa Sanden leads discussion groups following the book: "Children: the Challenge", by Rudolf Dreikurs. By the end of six weeks you'll understand why current child-rearing practices are ineffective, and you'll know what to do about:

  • bedtime
  • sibling rivalry
  • the terrible twos
  • tantrums
  • mealtime
  • sharing
  • and lots more...

Books are available from school or at any bookstore. Sign up online and read the first seven chapters in preparation for the first session. First-year parents should attend.


Children: The Challenge (by Rudolf Driekurs)

The key to parents who seek to build trust and love in their families, and raise happier, healthier, and better behaved children.

Based on a lifetime of experience with children--their problems, their delights, their challenges--Dr. Rudolf Dreikurs, one of America's foremost child psychiatrists presents an easy to follow program that teaches parents how to cope with the common childhood problems that occur from toddler through preteen years. This warm and reassuring reference helps parents to understand their children's actions better, giving them the guidance necessary to discipline lovingly and effectively.

"If a child lives with friendliness, he learns the world is a nice place in which to live, to love and be loved."
-Maria Montessori
