AP101: Fundamentals of Advanced Parentology and
Non-Punitive Discipline
“Parenting isn’t always easy, but YOU CAN approach it
with greater CONFIDENCE, JOY and PEACE by applying Principles and
Paradigms that truly WORK.”
It has
often been said that PARENTING is of the most important jobs in the
world. Ironically, it is also one that most people are often least
prepared for. Perhaps like most parents, you aspire to give your
children your best; you try to provide them with what you believe is
good for them; and you wish for them to turn out as well-behaved,
good-mannered, happy, successful, independent, and responsible human beings.
Now, to
what extent do you take your job as a parent seriously? What are you
doing to realize these aspirations?
-
Are you
COMMITTED to be the best Mum or Dad that your child deserves?
-
Are you
PREPARED to devote your time and energy to develop yourself and master
the principles of effective parenting?
-
Are you
WILLING to explore new paradigms that will empower and enable you to be an EXCEPTIONAL PARENT?
If your
answer is ”YES,” we invite you to begin your journey toward an
exceptional parenting experience filled with greater joy, peace and
fulfillment with ADVANCED PARENTOLOGY 101
(AP101). In this 1-day foundational course offered
by the Institute of Advanced Parentology, you will learn the
fundamental paradigms and principles of Advanced Parentology
and Non-Punitive Discipline .
Advanced
Parentology
is a multidisciplinary approach to parenting
that culminated from an extensive investigation into the art and science
of raising children. It incorporates principles from various
disciplines including philosophy, psychology, Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP), systems thinking, personal transformation,
professional coaching, and leadership development. It is founded on the
fundamental premise that children are complete human beings that deserve to be
treated with dignity and respect. At
the heart of Advanced Parentology is a set of PARADIGMS,
PRINCIPLES and WAYS OF BEING,
further supported by frameworks and practices for practical
applications.
Non-Punitive
Discipline is an
approach for disciplining children that does not use any form of
punishment, be it physical or non-physical. Practitioners of
non-punitive systems of discipline (i.e. Positive Discipline) seek to
respond to children’s misbehaviours with respect, understanding, love
and empathy by employing methods that honour the dignity of children,
preserve their well-being and foster their personal
growth.

How Some
Parents Have Benefitted
“I think it helps me
to be more empathetic towards my children and be more responsive to
them vs. being reactive … Definitely improved parent child
relationship and a much HAPPIER and HARMONIOUS FAMILY LIFE.” ~
Yvonne
“I know for awhile that
my son´s behavioral pattern could have been an extension of my
interaction with him. But I was never consciously present with him to
make changes in my parenting. Now I know. Before I see changes
in him I need to change. I need to make a conscious effort to
delineate matters into proper perspective ... As I make it a point to consciously choose to stop doing
whatever I was doing and put my attention on him I can say I FEEL
BETTER. Our interactions seem so much EASIER and MORE FUN … I can feel
him trusting me more … I feel happier that he is sharing his
feelings.” ~ Janice
“My ‘misbehaving
list’ for kids disappeared ... I realised that some of the confusion I
had during these few years in parenting were due to my own beliefs.” ~
Diana
“[This course helps me
to] appreciate the challenges of parenting – I have been resenting
parenthood whenever the fatigue takes over, especially during early
days of newborns, but in recent times, this resentment has definitely
worn off as it becomes “easier,” and after this course, hopefully all
the remnants of resentment have been removed.” ~ Shu

What Do
Parents Say About This Course
“Deep content, touches on
the FUNDAMENTALS… Highly suggest both husband and wife to attend.” ~
Jason
“TRANSFORMATIONAL.
Perhaps it is timing. Perhaps it is also at the most critical
point that I am going through now. Perhaps I am now ready for
change. The course has helped to 'defragment' the garbled
messages strewn all over in my mind. The course has mainly
provided me the impetus for change. This is short of a
'spiritual awakening' course for me. Never have I felt so
strongly about a course as this.” ~ Janice
“Challenge our existing
parenting framework … Good opportunity to LEARN MORE ABOUT OURSELVES.”
~ Hong
“Very USEFUL and
FULFILLING.” ~ Shu Li
“ENLIGHTENING. Gives me
the opportunity to question and reflect on my own parenting techniques
objectively and determine what parenting style better suit me and my
spouse.” ~ Yvonne.
