Stephanie Bryan of REAL Parenting (Respect, Empathy, Appreciation and Love)

Stephanie Bryan is the mother of two and grandmother of three and has taught or coached over 2000 parents since 1997. Stephanie holds a Masters Degree in Social Work and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Addictions Counselor. She is a certified facilitator of the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent program and a Certified Parent Coach.

Stephanie has taught Becoming a Love and Logic Parent classes for 10 years. These classes teach parents practical skills for interacting with their children and parenting with empathy and logical consequences. Children learn to accept responsibility for their actions and that the quality of their lives depends on the quality of their thinking and their decision-making.

In 2004, Stephanie developed REAL Parenting - classes that focus primarily on how parents can develop and maintain their relationship with their children, teaching specific, concrete skills that can be used to connect and stay connected with their children. The primary themes of REAL Parenting classes are respect and empathy.

Stephanie will be speaking to Cherished Children about raising our children using the philosophies of Love and Logic, REAL Parenting, Parent as Coach (Diana Haskins), Non-Violent Communication (Marshall Rosenberg), How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk (Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish), Happiest Toddler on the Block (Harvey Karp), and Parenting from the Inside Out (Dan Siegel and Mary Hartzell).
