Topic Sessions were originally intended for people who had already taken a Positive Discipline course and wanted a chance to deepen their understanding or expand their tool set by delving into specific issues. But I've found that people who have never taken a course benefit from the Topic Sessions just as much.
In a Topic Session we take on a particular challenging aspect of working with children and have activities that make the learning more fun as well as more memorable. We also discuss the issue and, if there's time, we finish by helping one of the participants with a real situation they are struggling with.
