Positive Indian Parenting
Honoring Our Children by Honoring Our Traditions. Positive Indian Parenting was designed to help parents and families remember our teachings and practice them. We will discuss examples of traditional practices and teachings from several different tribes including from local areas and communities. Then we will learn how to apply those teachings and values today. As a participant of PIP, you will hear the lessons of the storyteller and how to apply the concepts important in our oral traditions to communication with children today. You will hear about the lessons of the cradleboard and how to apply those nurturing ways. And you will learn about traditional behavior management and learn how to develop self-discipline in your children, which our culture has traditionally highly valued. PIP allows parents to choose what is right for them, you decide what you want to reclaim and how to apply it to your own life.
