Parenting Class Series

CNVEP teaches nonviolent parenting Philosophy and Practice on Saturday mornings in Echo Park. Classes are held in both Spanish and English. Each class cycle is ten weeks long and held on an ongoing basis. Participants may begin at any point during the ten-week cycle and return for continued support throughout.

Parenting Classes are a cross section of the community; mutli-racial, multi-ethnic, encompassing a wide variety of social-economic circumstance. Participants seek CNVEP for a variety of reasons; because they crossed the line with a child, they are afraid of doing so, the principles of a new paradigm appeal to them or they are court ordered.

Discussion groups, theory, role-playing and specific problem solving and topics such as empathy and healing are part of the curriculum. The class gives adults a framework to think about their actions as parents and discover what children truly need to thrive as healthy human beings. Together they learn methods that teach them to create the best possible connection with children, emphasizing respect for the life force of the child. They learn to become emotional coaches to their children; building unconditional acceptance, affection, appreciation, autonomy and attention. For most adults, it is a life changing experience.

Parenting Class Series may also be scheduled as Private/Home Based Classes.

Fathers Support Group, come together with other men to discuss issues that fathers face today.  Help your children grow in their emotional intelligence.  Learn how to break the cycle of hurt in families.

Child care is provided during class hours. Our caretakers are an integral part of our program, trained in the nonviolent teachings and support both parents and children.

Upon completion of the ten-week cycle, we are now offering a Nonviolent Parenting Support Group to continue the work of nonviolent parenting. Saturday mornings. Dates of English Support Group and Fathers' Group are the same as the Parenting Class Schedule.
