Peaceful Parenting Step by Step eCourse
Love the peaceful parenting philosophy but wonder HOW to put it into practice? Do you understand things on a theoretically level but when the rubber meets the road and things get heated you can’t find the peaceful parenting solution in the moment? After completing this course you will know what to do but more importantly, how to do it so it works.
Designed to transform your parenting from chaos to increased clarity and cooperation, this eCourse will take you on a step by step guided process through the core parenting strategies and when and how to apply them.
Learn the essential steps of our Centre, Connect, Communicate model; centre ourselves, connect with our children and communicate in respectful ways that help our children grow and learn.
Without the centring, we can’t connect in a meaningful way that helps our child feel seen, heard and supporting. And without the connection, our communication can lead to power struggles, or just lack the engagement we hope for.
On screen reflection questions which you can type and record for future reference (for your eyes only).
Fridge summary sheets with simple steps you can refer to at a glance
An in depth course covering 7 modules, broken into 4/5 units taking about 30 minutes each. Material includes videos, downloadable audio, reflection questions & practical tasks. Learn in the ways that work for you.
This eCourse was designed to help parents master peaceful parenting. An often unexpected benefit of mastering peaceful parenting is that it’s unlikely to only improve your relationship with your kid(s). A lot of the parents who do this course find that many of the communication skills they learn, also significantly improve their relationship with other adults
Accelerate your peaceful parenting learning to create happiness and harmony in your family or with the children and families you support
Implement a range of specific Peaceful Parenting strategies and a step by step process to tackle your parenting challenges.
Cutting edge eCourse software that helps you track and record your progress.
Time Commitment – approx 12 hours
7 modules (about 2 hours each) broken into 4-5 units of about 20-30 mins each

I cannot thank you enough. You have no idea how much this is helping to heal my family. I have two little boys with horribly bad tempers and I've just felt like this is above my level of parenting skills, felt this way for a few years now. I've tried to find help in various ways but nothing has shown to be effective. But this, wow, this is helping me to heal my children, thank you so very much!!!
I was under the understanding that reward systems and time out were the only way!! It is very refreshing to learn a better approach and to understand the long term effects. I've loved learning all the peaceful parenting techniques!
I was doubtful that these techniques could bring positive results with my five year old son, but I’m constantly amazed at how quickly he calms down and actually starts to listen to me when he can see that I’m really listening to him and I can see how much more confident he becomes when he sees that I’m really there to help him and support him.
I have to say that your ecourse has been helping in so many ways it’s hard to describe them all here.
Your videos were great, especially for a person like me that doesn’t have much time to read. I used to walk my dog and listen to your talks on my ear phones!
So many extremely important tools that help keep us parents connected to the philosophy and more importantly to ourselves.
