Nothing in my 20 years of experience studying and working with children compares to the challenges I’ve faced as a parent. And at the same time, nothing has been so rewarding.
Parenting is hard.
We deal with challenges every single day. Sibling squabbles, picky eaters, meltdowns, and four star power struggles over which shoes to wear. And that’s all before you even get out the door in the morning.
But parenting is awesome.
It’s the nighttime snuggles and sweet, sleepy “I love yous”. It’s explaining why she can’t marry Daddy, even though he’s her favorite person in the world. It’s a shared sense of pride when they “get it” and you helped teach it. It’s seeing the world through newer, brighter, simpler eyes. And it is love — more than you ever thought possible.
I realized that as a parent, I was using the same principles, tools, and philosophies that I had learned as an early childhood educator to guide my own children in my home.
That’s when I started creating resources for parents. It made sense to me that if professionals working with children had regular training on the principles and practices of positive child guidance — information that made their work easier and more effective — parents should too.
After writing the ebook Parenting with Positive Guidance: Building Discipline from the Inside Out, I found that many people were wanting more. I spent months taking that first project, adding new information and insights and packaging it all together into a class experience that could be accessed by parents all over the world.
There’s nothing magical about this course. There are no gimmicks or short-term ploys. Just solid information and respected techniques. It’s grounded in research and best-practice that will allow you to build stronger relationships within your family while also building more internal discipline in your child. You’ll learn about philosophy, practices, and tools that you can implement in your home immediately, and you’ll see the results for years to come.
There are a lot of perspectives out there. Lots of opinions about parenting. But when we quiet the crowd and focus on what we know about the way children develop and learn, we begin to see the simple core principles that guide us as we parent with more clarity and confidence…..Quiet the crowd. Clarify your core principles. Learn to parent confidently, authentically, and positively.

10 Essential Tools for Building Discipline.
These tools span the spectrum from “maintenance tools” that can head off challenges before they ever appear, to “repair tools” that will get you back on track when everything seems to be in meltdown mode. This are my favorite tools for facing challenges both at home and in the classroom.

Behavior Observation Guide.
You can’t fix what you can’t understand. Get to the real root of the problem so that you know how to approach it more confidently. Two children can exhibit the exact same behavior for completely different reasons. That’s why blanket “if they do this, then you do that” advice doesn’t always work. Learn to see and understand behavior in a new way so that you can respond in a more effective way.

“A blessing to our home and to my journey to parent differently and more presently.”
“Using the tools taught in the class has made such a big difference in our daily lives. Just before the class we were struggling with bedtime battles that often went on throughout the night, keeping me and/or my husband from getting a decent night’s sleep. This went on for weeks and then I began using some of the different tools learned through your class….Within a week or so we were all getting a good night’s sleep again!”
“This course was awesome and life-changing!”
“Not only did it change the way I view children’s “undesirable” behavior, but it also taught me practical strategies that I can apply both at home and in the classroom.”
“It felt too easy. It really wasn’t; it just works.”
“We really learned a lot and I’m sure we’ll be using your tips for a number of years. THANK YOU!!!”

“PPG is hands-down my favorite Parenting resource because of her whole-child, intentional and playful approach that focuses on developing strong mental health in children and families as their relationships evolve.”
Amanda Morgan, MS
As a writer, teacher, trainer, and speaker, I am passionate about intentional whole child development. I’ve taught groups ranging from preschoolers to university students, parents, and education professionals. My background in education and human development and my experiences in classrooms and conference halls have taught me a lot, and I continue to learn every single day as a mom to four awesome, rowdy boys. I can’t wait to share the best practices and approaches used by education and childcare professionals that can also make a big difference for you in your own home. I hope you’ll join me!
