Redirecting Children’s Behavior, or RCB, is one of the parenting courses created by the founder of the International Network for Children and Families (INCAF), Kathryn Kvols. She created INCAF to provide positive parenting education to families and communities through courses, trainings, workshops, and resource materials. INCAF has now certified over 1,000 parenting educators and the RCB course is currently taught in fourteen countries. INCAF is one of the only organizations that requires parenting instructors to become certified and to maintain that certification through continuing education. Peace In Your Home was created to bring the RCB course and INCAF’s certified instructors into your home and daily life. 

RCB methodology facilitates positive parenting with an emphasis on raising confident, self-motivated, responsible children.

• Module 1 – Focus on Your Child – In this module, we’re going to introduce you to the broad themes of the course, as well as introduce some of the most important core concepts of redirecting your child’s misbehavior. You’ll find that a lot of ‘common sense’ is wrong, but also that a lot of what makes a really successful parent is simple. The trick is learning how your child responds to different situations and how your response to him can affect the entire exchange.
• Module 2 – Acting Out – This module is goes deeper into the reason behind a child’s misbehavior. We will learn about why they are fighting and how we can create a Win-Win Resolution.
• Module 3 – Focus on You, the Parent – We devote this full module to YOU. You will learn what type of parent you are, what tools are available to you, what message you are really sending to your children – and something most parents overlook – how to take care of yourself in your busy schedule.
• Module 4 – Encouragement – (The Lifeblood of your family ) In this module, we’re going to explain the difference between encouragement and rewards, show you ways to avoid discouraging your child, and teach you to use THE MOST VALUABLE TOOL for really connecting with your child – the Encouragement Feast.
• Module 5 – Boundaries – This is not a module about setting rules. There is an important difference between dictating rules and setting boundaries for your child. We’re going to look at how to set healthy, safe, and important boundaries that will teach your child, rather than restrict her. In addition, we will discuss how to handle a situation where a child violates one of these boundaries in a way that will enhance your relationship, rather than alienate your child from your point of view.
• Module 6 – Mistaken Goals, Part 1 – A mistaken goal is a reason a child is acting out – they believe that their behavior will cause you to give them what they want. There are 4 primary Mistaken Goals. These are so important that we will be breaking them out into 2 weeks. During this module, we will learn about the mistaken goals of Attention and Power.
• Module 7 –Mistaken Goals, Part 2 – Following up from the previous week, we will concentrate on the mistaken goals Revenge and Inadequacy.
• Module 8 –We All Want To Be Important – One of the tenants of Democratic Parenting is that, no matter the age, we all want to feel important. Nobody responds well when they are told they can’t do something because of a limitation they have no control over. There are ways you can help your child feel powerful and valuable.
• Module 9 –Handling Flare-Ups – No matter how perfect and loving a parent you are, there will always be flare-ups. Children are learning and growing, which means testing boundaries and not controlling their needs well enough to avoid breakdowns. In this final week, we will show you techniques that will help you handle your little loved ones meltdowns.
