How to Speak to Increase Cooperation & Strengthen Your Connection... Without Punitive Discipline!

And Without Harming Your Relationship OR Giving Up Your Influence!


"I now listen to my son to understand him instead of defending my decisions."

Thank you for your course. It has been a wonderful defining point in my journey to effective, respectful communication. Everyone is benefiting from it! My son recently said, "You are different lately. It's like you are more interested in me!" I now listen to him 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



Does this sound familiar?

  • I would like to say something ONCE instead of 5 times!

  • No matter what I say or how kindly I say it - it turns into an argument.

  • I worry all the time, and I need to change something fast!

  • Sometimes, I feel like I am too reactive or harsh with my child.

  • I wish I could break the negative cycle of yelling, nagging, and arguing.

  • I'm tired of feeling frustrated, exhausted, or guilty.

  • My kids ONLY listen when I yell or threaten.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Knowing what to say and when to say it is where many parents get stuck. Words fail us because we're stressed out and looking for solutions before we've made a connection. 

If your mind is focused on getting things done, fearing the worst, or gaining compliance - you're less likely to approach behavior with curiosity and compassion. 

There is ONE BIG reason why this happens.

"This is a miracle!"

I really feel like this is a miracle!! So many positive changes in our family thanks to you Lori!

"Lori has a gift for teaching us how to communicate."

Lori has a gift for taking the ideas of conscious parenting and making them concrete by teaching us how to communicate in new ways. 

Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Clinical Psychologist & Author

You know how it goes...

We're on a schedule.
We need to get things done.
We feel unheard and misunderstood.

So, we launch into auto-pilot, trying to control our kids, unconsciously ignoring what they're actually learning from our actions. 

I can't stop yelling.
They make me so angry!
Why can't they just do what they're asked?

The problem is everyone asking you to use empathy and expecting that to change EVERYTHING. 

You can't change your language until you shift your perspective.  

When you learn to shift your focus, you'll transform the way you speak to people. Not just your kids - but everyone in your life.

How? By getting honest with yourself about WHY you're so reactive. 

I've got a framework for creating the kind of connection that you really want by helping you become more mindful, aware, and responsible for your words and actions!

The way to help our children take control of their behaviors is NOT through consequences and rewards.

It's time to create long-term change in your home without relying on external tools.


"Lori’s classes will change your life."

Practical Tools You Can Use to Make Long-Lasting Changes

Companion Downloads to Support You As You Challenge Yourself to Be Really Clear in Your Requests and Communicate Respectfully

One of the reasons people fail to progress along a conscious parenting path is a lack of community support. I'm not going to let that happen to you. It's essential for your peace of mind and the well-being of your children that you have the resources to stay calm and empathetic.

"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.

FAQ

  • What is the difference between the Conscious Communication Course and the Peaceful Solutions Course?

    The main difference is that Conscious Communication is a 3 lesson course on how to change the way we speak. It specifically focuses on how to implement conscious communication with every day parenting routines.

    Peaceful Solutions is an 8-lesson, 40-Day, comprehensive program, which covers the conscious parenting transformation from the beginning and talks about your past, breaking with your family expectations, child development, setting boundaries, empathy and building emotional intelligence.

  • How long is the this series and how do I attend?

    All course content is presented on-demand in streaming audio/video. Conscious Communication also includes transcripts and lifetime access to the course lessons.

    Learning modules are released weekly for the first month and accessed through the virtual classroom. There are also monthly Q&As held via Zoom each month. You can attend live or listen to the recordings.

  • What if I don’t have time in the next few weeks to complete the course?

    This is a self-paced course, so there is no rush to complete the series in a few weeks. Work at your own pace and use the online forums and monthly support sessions to stay on track and maintain your progress.

    Live meeting access is for at least one year.

  • What if I am too busy to do the exercises in the program?

    I totally understand this one, which is why your subscription includes lifetime access.

    If you're worried about the amount of time you'll spend learning something new. Think about the amount of time that you spend arguing, nagging, threatening or bargaining with your kids right now.

    Is that a pattern you have time for - or want to continue?

    Conscious Communication and being "heard" is not outside your reach, and a community like this, along with the monthly live support, is a game-changer for many families. They see dramatic changes in the level of cooperation and connection that they feel from their kids after implementing what they learn.

    Take time to think about where you are now and where you want to be.

    Ask yourself:
    Do you want to continue with short-term punitive discipline?

    Can you afford to take that chance?

    What is the cost to your relationship with your child?

    Are these small conflicts not that big of a deal – or are they worth the time and investment of learning a new way?

    Balancing the long-term goals for our kids with the daily grind is always a challenge in parenting. This series will certainly require a time commitment, but it is one that will continue to reward you as your child grows.

  • Will I have access to Lori to ask questions?

    If you attend our monthly Q&A's, you'll find me hosting often. I will answer emailed questions on our calls. If you can't make it, you can watch the recording.

    You'll also get to connect with our passionate and caring parent educators and facilitators who sometimes host our meetings and are active in our online groups.

  • What if I do everything in the program and I still am having challenges with my child?

    This program is meant to give you a new framework for speaking and interacting with your loved ones. It is going to take some time and in-depth exploration of yourself coupled with and understanding of the basic framework of communication for you to see changes.

    The sessions and learning exercises are designed to enhance your understanding of how to connect and what to say so you can effectively parent with confidence and kindness.

    While your kids may need extra help, if you are struggling with your own reactions and find yourself unable to stay calm and not yell - my Peaceful Solutions course might be a better fit.

    Honestly, I have not had anyone implement a conscious parenting viewpoint and be worse off because of it. When you’re truly seeking to understand your child and look beyond behavior while practicing the compassionate communication tools I will show you, it’s pretty hard NOT to see real observable change in your child’s behavior.

    **Parent education is not a substitute for professional help. If you feel your child’s behaviors are severe or uncontrollable, consider whether you need to speak with a licensed counselor. Many of our Teach Through Love Educators are therapists, who may be able to support you.

  • Is this class only for parents? What about educators, therapists, nannies, and grandparents?

    While the format speaks to "parents" the series is also helpful for educators, therapists, child-care workers and anyone who works with children.

    The program has been used to train daycare staff, and in professional development presentations for therapists and educators.

    Regardless of whether you are a parent or provider, if you want to think, speak and act more compassionately and consciously - this class is your ticket to learn how. If you want to train your team or are looking for group rates and licensing, please email me.

  • Is the course for young children or will it apply to teens?

    The course content serves as a framework you can use for more effective communication with ANYONE in your life.

    We use examples and stories of parents with kids of all ages and it is not geared to any specific age group.

    Children understand and use language from the very beginning. It is never too early or too late to implement changes in the way you communicate with your kids.

    We do not discuss baby routines or focus on specific parent duties such as sleep or feeding. But the communication tools and self-growth you will learn in the classes apply to family life situations. They are appropriate for parents of toddlers to teens because the process of building relationships and speaking compassionately is the same – no matter what age we are.

  • Is this another parenting course that gives me a bunch of theory but doesn't really tell me how to apply it to my situation?

    This program is full of concrete tools, and exercises. There is a lot of practice but not a lot of fluff. You need tools, and we're all short on time.

    This series is for the parent or caregiver who gets the theory and wants MORE actionable language. If you’re concerned about not understanding how to apply the strategies that you’ll learn in the course, then be sure to attend our monthly Q&A Support calls.

"Another superb talk."

Many thanks for another superb talk. I know my students valued the information, and, of course, so did I.
