"Could not love the program more."
I'm so excited to facilitate this program. I love how personalized you are with all of this. I could not love the program more. My husband is definitely my first client, and it's helping him so much with our teenager.

What You’ll Be Able to Teach Parents...
Simplify Brain Science: Make behavior easy to understand for parents.
Go Beyond Empathy: Replace punishment with skill-building — learn what truly works.
Rebuild Connection: Help parents identify signs of disconnection and repair to restore healthy relationships.
Transform Communication: Teach conscious communication — verbal and non-vebal body language and cues to foster cooperation.
Guide Self-Reflection: Lead parents to investigate past influences and align with their true values.
Set Effective Limits: Show families how to establish boundaries without force, threats, or power struggles.
Create Long-Term Change: Provide step-by-step strategies for building routines that support emotional well-being.
With this framework, you’re not just teaching skills — you’re helping families dismantle a culture of compliance and control.
"Transformative, powerful, and nothing short of amazing."
The TEACH model helped me shift my parenting from "power-over" to "relationship with." I opened the first Teach Through Love-inspired school. My journey has been transformative, powerful, and nothing short of amazing. This is how we change the world!"
Emily McCrea, Rebel Shift Childhood
For professionals guiding families, this work becomes the daily backbone of real support — not just theory.
"I found Lori's work to be critical in supporting my clients."
I am a pediatric occupational therapist and found Lori's work to be critical in supporting my clients and parents/caregivers. I have two boys, ages 12 and 6. You better believe I lean on everything Lori taught me on a daily basis.
Kelly Flemetakis, OTR/L, Parent Educator
The research shows the opposite. Teaching emotional intelligence builds resilience and independence, preparing children for the "real world."
When higher ed leaves gaps in your knowledge, this model fills them with tools that resonate and make sense in real life.
"The language comes off really clear and concrete."
I'm very excited. I didn't get this in my graduate program. I had to search. And it just resonated so much, and the language comes off really clear and concrete."
Chris W., Licensed Instructor

Not a training to throw more theory at you — one that leads to self-discovery so the framework actually lives in your body.

I am really enjoying the course. In particular, the self-discovery and inquiry. This has enabled me to embody the framework very quickly.

When parents trade punishment for empathy, the whole family breathes easier.
"She gives specific, real-world steps and guidance."
Thank goodness I found Lori Petro! She’s helped make me a better parent and person. I feel more connected to my son, and because of her, I now have the tools to have more empathy and understanding of him. She gives specific, real-world steps and guidance that will make life easier.
Angie Sanders, Evolve On Community
Other trainings hand you tools but never touch the anger underneath — this course gets to the root of family conflict, so change finally sticks.
"It all started to become easier."
When my daughter was born. I didn't know how to handle myself. I was scared, so I started looking for books and trainings and many different things that could help me. I got to another program, and I trained as a parent educator. But still, I felt that something was missing because I was using the tools but still feeling the anger. I didn't know why. I found your class, and it all started to change, and it all started to become easier.

Michelle Gracey, Licensed Instructor
The training prepares you to facilitate in-person or online classes with a ready-to-use curriculum and time-tested process.
We believe the course is best offered in group settings where parents can share their experiences and foster relationships within the community. However the course can be adapted and facilitated in 1:1 sessions.
There are so many opportunities to bring the principles of conscious parenting into the world. With a current license, you can work locally within your community or online for up to one year. Hold group support sessions and use the Workbook to facilitate discussions with or without streaming the videos. These are just a few examples of how you can work as a parenting class facilitator.
Please note - I cannot provide personal job assistance or partnerships or offer business, legal, or marketing advice. However, because I no longer work privately with parents, I am continually referring people to our Teach Community.

Yes! As a Parenting Class Instructor, you may charge attendees. Many begin by offering free classes, but this is dependent on your personal experience.
Many Facilitators choose a per-couple rate or offer sliding scale rates depending on the needs of their community. What you charge is based on many factors, including how you structure your classes (length) and where you offer them (online or in-person).
Many Instructors will connect with family service agencies or local schools and offer the classes for a flat rate. It's up to you!
The tuition for the training and licensing is $2000. There is a payment plan option.
Please consider carefully whether this is the right program for you. No refunds will be granted once your registration is complete. In the case of unexpected emergencies, you may pause your license for a limited time.
I'm sorry, but we are unable to offer scholarships at this time.
When training feels this supportive, educators walk away with more than strategies — they walk away with connections.
"Wonderful program.
"Lori, Thank you so much for this wonderful program. I really enjoyed being with you all. "
Mona Elkady, Parent Educator
We won't gloss over the hard stuff. Questioning control-based parenting norms is how we grow stronger together.
Sarah Bouwkamp
Parent Educator
"Such a positive and supportive community."
Thank you so much for this amazing program and your support. I've really enjoyed getting to know you and the other ladies as we create our community. Thank you, everyone, for building such a positive and supportive community as we jumped into such challenging (in a great way!) topics. I have learned so much and look forward to continuing our work together.
Worried this will be another program full of theories that never land? This training doesn’t skim the surface — it rewires you from the inside out.

"One of the most transformative periods of my life."
I resonate so deeply with the material Lori presents in this course. On a personal level, it has been one of the most transformative periods of my life. There is just so much richness in this course. I feel I will be digesting and integrating it all for a long time to come. Lori is a passionate and dedicated facilitator who imparts her knowledge with amazing authenticity and depth of understanding. I finally found my 'fit' with her material after years of searching and feel blessed to have connected with such a wonderful group of women who shared and grew together so honestly.
Parent educator programs can feel like busywork. This one leaves you grateful you took the leap.
"Thank you so much."
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your course.

Amazing group of women. I appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making these things happen. I know it’s not easy and that it takes a lot of time and energy. You have done a marvelous job of staying organized.
