Are you TRYING, but finding it absolutely exhausting, or do you feel like your every word is nitpicked?
You're already doing your best.
THIS MEMBERSHIP GIVES YOU EVERY COURSE & TOOL I HAVE TO HELP YOU:
Many of us grew up with power-over models — obedience before needs, punishment before skills.
We were sold obedience = good kids.
But compliance culture silences needs, punishes emotions, and leaves parents burned out.
It's not working.
What works is when we know how to blend relationships, regulation, skills, and conscious communication—my four keys to everything.
When you see what drives behavior, you stop chasing compliance and start building skills and trust.
I’ve spent 20 years teaching parents and professionals how to break the cycle of yelling, shame, and power struggles. This membership is the bridge between sleepless nights (feeling like you’re failing) and waking up confident, ready to lead with calm instead of fear (even when life is messy).

"I have enjoyed the classes so much."
I have enjoyed the classes so much. Yesterday I was triggered. I caught myself and began to investigate. Found the needs instead of beating myself up for them — my heart broke open and sobbing commenced. I have some hardened ideas beginning to soften. Thank you!

From constant battles and second-guessing → to having the ability to stop yourself, get curious, and address behavior without force.
If you're like most parents who worry (sometimes endlessly) about their child's future - you might see the years flying by and suddenly think - is this it?
Is this how it will be for the next 5, 10, 15 years?
"They push my buttons every single day."
"I'm tired of the power struggles."
"Why is everything always such a battle?"
"I just want a break sometimes."
These aren't flaws in your kids or your parenting — they're signs you need a better plan and new tools.
Empathy isn't easy when we're triggered or fearing what might happen all the time.
Connection isn't possible when we're stressed out and viewing our children through a lens of "obedience."
There's no point in judging ourselves (or our kids) when we can do so much to shift things in our favor.
"I don't know what to do anymore."
"I feel like I'm failing as a parent."
"It's hard to keep up with everything."
Carolyn was always defending her decisions and feeling defeated. Then she made it a goal to master our communication process.
"I now listen to my son to understand him."
Thank you for your course. It's been a wonderful defining point in my journey to effective, respectful communication. Everyone is benefiting from it! I now listen to my son to understand him instead of having to defend my decisions as a parent or give in!! And nobody gets mad! Thank you, Lori!
Carolyn Magnussen, Norway
For the parents chasing their "spirited children, being "gentle" wasn't enough for Todd's family. Our work together filled in the missing piece.
"We recommend this course to every parent we know."
My wife and I highly benefited from Lori's TEACH program. We have been able to successfully discipline our daughter using non-traditional parenting methods. We recommend this course to every parent we know.

Kirista was constantly judging herself and felt like she was missing a crucial piece of the puzzle until she signed up for my classes.
"Thank you for your work. You are amazing."
I wanted to tell you that... I get it!! Lori, I get it now. I have the tools to help my son navigate negative moments with others and do it in such a way that makes sense to him and me - and the other child or adult without me feeling stupid. Thank you. Thank you for your work. You are amazing.

Maria has EIGHT children! Her oldest was 13 before she left punitive parenting, but it turned out to be one of the best things she ever did.

Trouble staying calm and curious.
Kids who defy and ignore punishments.
Difficulty speaking without blame and shame.
Kids who have experienced traumatic events.
Sensitive, autistic, or otherwise neurodivergent kids.
Tried to use "gentle parenting" but can't make it stick.
Challenges in more than one area or kids with different needs.
Wanted to join a class but needed a more affordable solution.

"Real-world steps that make life easier."
Thank goodness I found Lori Petro! She’s helped make me a better parent and person. I feel more connected to my 5-year-old son now. I now have the tools to have more empathy and understanding of my son. She gives specific, real-world steps and guidance that will make life easier. When I apply what I’ve learned, magically, the challenging behavior has changed. I’m eternally grateful to Lori and all she’s shared with me.

If the daily battles of getting kids out the door on time or to bed without a debate are wearing you down - you're so close to turning that around.
🕒 As parents, our time is a precious resource in short supply. You may be juggling work, household responsibilities, and your child's needs, leaving you with minimal time for personal growth.
But when the need for change at home with our kids is pressing, we want fast, effective solutions. Each course lesson is presented in mini-video sessions. And classes are accompanied by transcripts or optional audio lessons to accommodate the needs of all types of learners.
If you're willing to put in the emotional labor to change YOURSELF too, you'll have no regrets..
"Worth every penny you will spend."
Lori is a wealth of knowledge and a true professional in her field. She is worth every penny you will spend on this series. If you are willing to be open and put into practice the things she teaches, you will, without a doubt, have no regrets.
Suzanne Teter, Pennsylvania

Finding nonjudgmental support that addresses these fears and helps us navigate our emotional world is a crucial piece of learning to teach through love.
1. Questioning whether this is "effective discipline."
We're worried about finding discipline strategies that are both effective and respectful. It's understandable. We want to guide our children without resorting to punishment.
Learn the difference between being punitive and allowing a true "consequence."
2. Wondering how to balance boundaries and freedom.
Finding the right balance between setting boundaries and allowing children the freedom to explore and learn independently can be a constant concern.
Discover how to empower your children while keeping them safe.
3. Teaching "respectful communication" feels weird.
Sometimes, we're so locked into our ways of reacting to our children there's no room for change to happen. We strive to maintain open and respectful communication with our kids.
But our words aren't natural (it might even feel stilted or corny to speak with empathy).
"So happy to have concrete and practical methods."
This class is helping our family so much. I want you to know that I have read countless books and blogs, and talked to everyone around me for advice, but nothing compares to the perfect fit of this class for us. I am so happy to have concrete and practical methods to apply and real language that I trust to use! You are doing a most important job!!! Thank you!
Yasmin & Billy Shaddox, California
4. Worried about raising a spoiled child.
Ohhh, we stress so much about how our children will fare in social situations, particularly when our parenting approach differs from more traditional methods. Conscious parenting is exactly what our society needs.
Learn to end power imbalances and ensure your children can navigate social interactions with confidence.
5. The judgment from other parents is stressful.
Anyone who follows a gentle approach will face judgment or criticism from others who may not understand or agree with their methods. You can handle the haters.
"Cannot thank you enough. We are seeing big changes!"
My husband and I just cannot thank you enough for the ways this course has affected our lives. We are seeing big changes. We had the instinct, the intention and the determination for conscious parenting, but lacked the skills and tools required to actually make it happen until now. A million times, thank you.
Danielle, Senini, Australia
"Absolutely amazing resource."
Lori is really great at giving you very clear direction about what to do in your situation. Have no fear! Her knowledge of children’s developmental stages and the information she has combined with a generous heart make her an absolutely amazing resource.
Jennifer Fitch, California
"Loved this class!"
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Loved this class & I look forward to taking more of your classes!
Kirista Berry, California
I hope to make parent education accessible to as many people as possible. If I could afford to, I'd give it all away for free. But this way, I can offer a short time (usually two weeks) when the Academy is open at a super-low cost.
When you purchase individual classes, they are yours to keep! You have lifetime access to the course content. The Parenting Essentials Academy is a yearly subscription membership and includes access to my complete library of courses and the Expert Series for one year.
No, I’m sorry. I cannot offer retroactive subscriptions or refunds on previously purchased courses. However, if you decide to sign up, know that the value of these classes far exceeds the cost, and you’re saving at least $1000 on all the other program fees.
Yes. The Conscious Parenting Academy is a collection of sample lessons from my classes, giving you pieces of essential practices and shifts. It is free and practical. But this is way, WAY more.
You have at least one year from the date of purchase.
Special topic webinars are held throughout the year and posted in the Q&A Archive. Times rotate, and you can join live or wait for the recording.
If you can't make it, send in your questions and receive advice in the recording.
I'm a mother of four, and you have been a critical part of my parenting. Thank you so much for what you do!
Norah Staples
I can't say enough about the practical advice you get from this seminar! I learned how to speak much calmer and clearer (perfect for kids!) by listening to her example! This seminar helped my parenting take a swift turn in the right direction. It's worth every penny.
Soni Albright
I have read quite a few books on conscious parenting, but just reading and listening to your sample audios about how parenting is about being in a RELATIONSHIP has given me amazing clarity, and I have had an incredible week with my nine-year-old daughter. Thank you!
