One of the most powerful gifts we can give our kids is the belief that they are capable. Capable doesn’t mean perfect. It doesn’t mean they’ll never stumble or fail. It means they have the confidence to try, to keep going, and to believe in their own abilities.

When children feel capable, they learn resilience, problem-solving, and self-worth. They stop saying, “I can’t,” and start asking, “How can I?” That shift builds confidence that lasts a lifetime.

Our children need our kindness. We need our firmness. Positive Discipline teaches us that we don’t have to yell or punish harshly — we can guide with love while still holding strong boundaries. That’s the sweet spot where growth happens, for both parents and kids.

Family meetings might sound simple—but when done right, they create real change.

In this video, I’m sharing how a short weekly meeting builds the 4 Cs of Positive Discipline: Connection, Capability, Count, and Courage.

It’s not about control—it’s about collaboration. And it might just transform the way your family communicates.

Essential Touchstones

Essential Touchstones, LLC, is an organization that provides Intensive Outpatient Treatment services to adolescents ages 13 to 18 who meet the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for a substance use disorder or other addictive disorder. Adolescents with a co-occurring mental illness (addiction and mood disorder) may also benefit from these services. Our clinical services are provided by doctorate-level, master’s-level licensed or provisionally-licensed clinicians.

The facility also offers music & art classes which have been proven to reduce stress and express emotions. We have a nationally board-certified music therapist and an art teacher who will offer regular classes.
