Many of us long to live compassionately with our children, yet find ourselves stuck in old habits of conflict and power struggles, criticizing and giving orders, or acting out of anger or fear.
 In this approach, we use the Connection Parenting system (developed by Pam Leo) to acquire new patterns with our children of connecting and acting from our heart. We learn skills for empowering our children, and for partnership parenting, where everyone’s needs (our own and theirs) are valued and cared for.
In the Parenting Through Connection course,
we cover:
- Our Parenting Inheritance
- Teaching Children Respect
- Listening to Children’s Feelings
- Giving Children the Gift of High Self-Worth & Self-Esteem
- Replacing Negative Parent-Talk with Positive People-Talk
- Responding to Children’s Needs Instead of Reacting to Their Behavior
- Supporting Our Needs as Parent
For the schedule of Parenting Through Connection classes, go to the Calendar of Events.
Mercedes also offers Counseling and Facilitation for parents and families in private sessions.
"Our boys (ages 5 and 7) fought almost constantly. After taking only 3 of the 7 Connection Parenting classes with Mercedes, a fight between our boys is rare! Our 5 year old's extreme temper tantrums have also subsided. The simple, easy-to-apply principles Mercedes teaches are allowing us to be the kind, loving parents we intended all along. We just didn't have the skill and awareness we needed. We highly recommend this Parenting Series to anyone who didn't have a perfect childhood!"

"I’ve experienced a huge positive shift in my relationship with my son. The classes taught me a new perspective on my child’s behavior — that all behavior is based on needs."
-Amberay
"I think every parent would find this class very valuable, no matter how you think you’re doing in your relationship with your child. This class helped me in communicating within all my relationships. I’m using these skills daily and am very happy with how quickly we’ve been reaping the rewards. Thank you!"
-LRH
"Mercedes helped me tremendously to get in touch with my own and my child’s needs and feelings, and to be more present because of it. I can see how my self-esteem as a parent and my child’s self-esteem is improving. I wish I had learned this material 26 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child.":
-Yanah
"This parenting class has shown me how to have a deeper connection with my children. The new techniques I learned made the difference between a good working relationship and a thriving relationship, where every member of the family feels their needs are being met. Thank you, Mercedes, for bringing this valuable information forth."
-Shekinah
"This class helped me to develop consciousness around the “quality” of time we spend with our children. The information in the class will continue to help me meet my needs for high quality connection, no matter what quantity of time we’ve got together."
-Daniel Moe
"Bringing this teaching to our conscious level has offered immediate positive results, as well as building a foundation for long-term, healthy, family and personal relationships. Great tools for each and all!"
