Parents invited to hear expert Ronald Morrish on the Secrets of Discipline

Are you tired of bargaining with your children/adolescents just to get a little co-operation? 

Are you frustrated by their lack of respect and unacceptable behaviours such as bullying and argumentativeness?

Then join the School Council at Sudbury Secondary School for a special evening with international speaker Ronald Morrish, author of Secrets of Discipline, With All Due Respect, and Flip Tips.

All parents/guardians of school-aged children are invited to this evening with Ronald Morrish on Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 at 7 pm.

The free presentation will take place in the Sheridan Auditorium at Sudbury Secondary School, 85 Mackenzie Street.

Parents/guardians will gain practical strategies for teaching children/adolescents to be responsible and co-operative.

They will learn how to discipline without all the deal making, arguments, and confrontations.

Parents will also gain tips on understanding the adolescent brain and adolescent issues, as Ronald Morrish focuses on positive, proactive, productive discipline strategies leading to co-operative, respectful behaviour.

Ronald Morrish, a leading expert on discipline and character development, has been an educator and behaviour specialist since 1972.

He was a teacher with the District School Board of Niagara in St. Catharines for 26 years.

During that time, he taught regular education and special education classes, was a learning resource teacher, and spent 16 years as the Board’s behaviour specialist.

Non-perishable food items will be accepted as donations to the school’s food bank. 

Refreshments will also be provided. 

This event is being funded through a Parents Reaching Out Grant provided by the Ontario Ministry of Education.
