Three Simple Big Ideas

1

Regulate Your
Own Emotions

Kids learn to manage their emotions when their parents model how it's done. That’s why Dr. Laura’s free coaching emails give you a blueprint for self-regulation, and the self-care that makes it possible.

2

Connect with
Your Child

From tantrums to texting, the secret of happy parenting is a close relationship with your child. Without that connection, we have little influence (”My kids won’t listen!”) and parenting becomes exhausting.

3

Coach Instead
of Controlling

Coach, instead of trying to control, so your child wants to cooperate with you. Sure, you need to set limits—but if you set them with empathy and respect, you’ll find your child is much more likely to comply.

After the course, we have had less sibling rivalry, we feel like happier, more loving parents and we feel better about how we can teach our children. This course was very healing for my own past issues -- I didn't expect that. And the price is incredible for the amount of material and teaching you get!
