HAND IN HAND PARENTING

We build our starter class program around our Parenting by Connection approach. Parents receive a Parent Handbook and a set of our Listening to Children booklets: How Children’s Emotions Work, Special Time, Playlistening, Crying, Tantrums and Indignation, Setting Limits with Children, Healing Children’s Fears, Reaching for Your Angry Child, and Listening Partnerships for Parents. In over seven hours of videos, Patty Wipfler, the founder of Hand in Hand, explains and models our approach, giving real life examples of parent-child interactions to illustrate its power to change lives for the better. Parents are guided through the videos and course materials in short segments that allow them to fit the program into their busy lives. Videos are combined with either an in-person class or a teleconference once a week for 1.5 hours, where questions are answered and experiences are shared. This is the perfect time for parents to experience what a Listening Partnership is like and learn from one another.
