Positive Discipline Workshop

“Children do better when they feel better.”

- Dr. Jane Nelsen, founder of Positive Discipline®

Guiding Parents with Respect, Connection, and Confidence


At Northwood Montessori, we believe that parenting, much like education, is a journey of continuous learning and growth. Our Positive Discipline Workshop is based on the teachings of Dr. Jane Nelsen, Positive Discipline® and it offers parents practical tools to foster mutual respect, cooperation, and healthy communication with their children.


This series is ideal for parents seeking ongoing guidance in developing positive strategies that help children become responsible, capable, and self-reliant members of the family and community. Through experiential activities, real-life discussions, and reflective exercises, participants learn to build strong connections while maintaining clear boundaries, all in a way that honors the dignity of both the child and the adult.

Workshop Schedule


The workshop will be led by Dolores Vazquez, our Head of School and a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, who brings her deep Montessori understanding and years of educational leadership to help parents translate theory into meaningful daily practice.
