Education can be more profound that we know since it;s not just academic subjects and value it teaches. Parenting can also be learned trough schools, with the help of Glynis Romanica, a school counselor. She can be found in Powell River, teaching restitution parenting. Her course is inspired by the book entitled “My Child is a Pleasure” by Dianne Gossen and the principles applied in her course are based on traditional approaches for parenting and discipline.

"We believe that all behavior is purposeful and we learn that all behavior is an attempt to meet our needs. When a child does something, if the parent can identify what the need is behind the behavior, we can help the child to get what they need, not necessarily what they want,” Romanica believes.

The principle of teaching parenting is supported in BC, North America, and Iceland.
