When tantrums, sibling rivalry and bedtime battles brought me to my knees I set out to learn how to:
Disarm power struggles
Stay loving even when setting firm boundaries
Inspire kids to take responsibility, have empathy, problem-solve
Lighten up, stop lecturing, feel close as a family
I found that Positive Discipline helped me deepen my connection to my kids and feel confident about my parenting choices.
That's what I want for you.
Leading with Love Parenting workshops boil down Positive Discipline and current brain science into simple strategies that solve our most painful parenting challenges.
