Do you ever think to yourself...
-
How can I be sure I am raising a kind, respectful, responsible, emotionally stable, and independent child?
-
I wish I could yell less, slow down, and step back and BREATHE rather than jump into the middle of chaos.
-
I want to become more present and aware so that I can RESPOND to my child instead of reacting from fear and stress.
-
I want to stop being ruled by my inner critic and finally break the cycle of conflict and negativity in my home.
Do you know where the "best parenting advice" comes from?
With so many conflicting suggestions coming from peers, family, parenting "experts," physicians, and of course, Facebook - your intuition can get lost in all the noise.
The truth is - YOU are the only expert on your child. Only you can decide what is best for your child in each moment - if you learn to listen to yourself.
The truth is - YOU are the only expert on your child. Only you can decide what is best for your child in each moment - if you learn to listen to yourself.
Restore peace & calm in your home.
You'll spend more time connecting with your kids after you learn the SIX critical elements necessary for creating peaceful solutions to your family challenges.
If you are tired of using a million tricks (that never feel good) to get your kids to listen, this series will lay a solid foundation for you to increase your self-awareness, and maintain an open heart as you learn tools for peaceful interaction - not just with your kids, but with everyone in your life.
In this course you’ll learn...
-
How to be less controlling without being permissive.
-
How to maintain a calm and consistent presence - even when your kids can't!
-
How to break free of painful patterns and old habits of reacting.
-
How to set healthy boundaries and create win-win situations for you and your child.
-
How to gain the cooperation you are looking for without nagging.
-
ONE TOOL that is way more effective than ANY "logical consequence" or 1-2-3 training technique.
Life can get messy, scary, and even downright awful.
However, if you have the tools to manage your emotions , you can protect yourself from unavoidable stress. Learn to handle whatever comes your way... including your child's tantrums, backtalk, aggression, hitting, sibling-rivalry, defiance, and disrespect.
This is beneficial for you - but the impact on your child is more than EXTRAORDINARY.
By ending the cycle of arguing and nagging and by changing the way you ASK for what you need to happen, you set your child up to WANT to listen and follow your lead.
You can dramatically impact the willingness of your child to complete tasks and contribute to others and reduce the level of negativity in your home - if you follow the framework I've laid out for you in this course.
The bonus for your children? You teach them the coping skills they need to navigate life.
Lori has a gift for taking the ideas of conscious parenting and making them concrete by teaching us how to communicate in new ways.

Jill Keuth, Colorado
Lori Petro, you are truly amazing! What a fabulous Q&A call. I feel a hundred times better and needed to hear every word you had to say. My heart thanks you for your compassion. I'm glad to be a part of this class and appreciate your work.Lavanda Loncharich, Texas
I absolutely loved this class. I learned so much just from the first session. It has already changed my life! Love you for all you do!
Strawberri Young, Utah
Thank goodness I found Lori Petro! She’s helped make me be a better parent and person. I feel more connected to my 5-year-old son now. Because of her, 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.

This parenting class will reveal...
-
Why self-care is your greatest asset and the most direct route to rewiring your unhealthy patterns, and how it affects your child's sense of security.
-
The TWO greatest factors contributing to the disconnection with your kids and how to shift the dynamic among family members to build connection.
-
How your past experiences have shaped your present life and how to take control of your future by releasing the past and building authentic relationships.
-
How the traditional advice on child-rearing sabotages your child's development and what really supports healthy brain development.
-
Why your child behaves the way he does and how to support the delicate stages of learning and growth with preventative measures.
-
How deepening your listening skills will ease your frustration, and bring you closer so you can tolerate your child's behavior long enough to understand it and address the root causes.
-
Why it is crucial that you reframe your language, attitude, and tone and become more mindful in your interactions - and a formula for doing exactly that.
-
Why the best parenting advice comes from knowing your kid and how to boost your emotional intelligence & raise your response-ability.
-
How to give quality feedback - a more effective choice than using shame and control and how to tell the difference in your discipline.
-
How to set limits compassionately w/out giving in or resorting to punitive consequences and language for specific scenarios!
You can increase cooperation and respect without compromising your influence, leadership, or relationship.
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.
Kirista Berry, British Columbia
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.
Todd & White Simon, California
Thank you for giving me my son back!
Kimberley Balfour, California
I have enjoyed the classes so much. Yesterday I was triggered and caught myself and began to investigate, found the needs and instead of beating myself up for them - my heart broke open and sobbing commenced. I have some hardened ideas beginning to be softened. Thank you!
Jana Massey, Tennessee
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
Working with Lori Petro in person has been an absolute gift from God! The monthly member support calls are invaluable! She has given me the tools to create a cooperative, respectful and connected relationship with my daughter. I am forever grateful to her for the results we experience in our home every day. We are all so much happier!
Jennifer Miskiel, Pennsylvania
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this programme, on two levels, as a scientist and a mum of a 16-year-old. I loved how Lori intertwines the science of the brain, of emotions with conscious parenting. To me even though my son is now 16, it was so valuable to listen to her knowledge on this topic, and most of all, how she really shares her heart with the listeners. This work is precious, as it is laying the ground layer of the next generations to come, and what can be better than providing the space for parents to open their hearts to being mindful and conscious parents. Thank you, Lori, your work is a precious gift to the world.
Charan Sudhar, Epigeneticist, UK
Excellent class today Lori!! Great information. Wonderful. So glad to be participating. SO glad to be raising my children on a conscious path. In the long run, it's really the easier way to parent for sure! My 8 & 12-year-old were listening in today and were raising their hands and answering your questions.
Judy Shannon, California
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
Wow, the mp3s are really gifts that keep on giving. They are brilliant. I absorb the most while listening on my iPod during my runs. Yesterday really blew my mind. Understanding the science behind it makes me able to feel even more compassion for where children are. It is such a relief to find your work and this whole approach. I really resonate with it and deeply want to build a solid relationship of good communication with my daughter. I am ecstatic to find this now. Mahalo a nui loa.
