Parenting Little Kids
Does this sound familiar?
“Parenting scripts” don’t stop challenging behaviours.
Yelling makes you and your child feel bad.
Everything seems like a battle (sleep, eating, bath).
Your child clings and whines on your leg.
You don’t understand why your child doesn’t listen.
You feel embarassed by your child’s behaviour.
Saying “no” causes an epic tantrum.
You feel like you don’t understand your child anymore.
You deserve to enjoy this precious and all-too-short stage of life with your kids. We’ve developed a course for busy, tired parents who want to find joy in parenthood.
Let us help.
Here’s a sneak peek…
Your child’s behaviour feels out of control.
You don’t know why they are having big tantrums, fighting with siblings, or why they just won’t stay at the dinner table.
When your child’s behaviour feels out of control, you feel out of control. How are you supposed to help your kid when you just don’t understand why they would act this way. Where did your sweet child go?
You’ve tried the simple scripts you see online. But, no matter how many times you say “I can’t let you hit” they still hit.

You start to wonder “maybe I’m just a bad parent” or… “do I need to be more strict?”
Your parents would never have let you get away with this. You know you want to parent differently than your parents did, but how?
This is where we come in.
Behind every undesirable behaviour is a child who is trying to communicate something with us.
If you want to deeply understand your child, change undesirable behaviour, and learn how to discipline in way that will solve right now problems plus build a long-term relationship – we can help.
Parenting Little Kids teaches you how to make real change in your home using proven methods, practical stories, and tools that work for even the trickiest parenting moments.

When Your Child Tries to Hit, Bite, or Kick
Your course has changed our life. At first I felt like it wasn’t working, my toddler still wasn’t listening. But after changing the way in which we reacted, the cycle of constant fighting came to an end. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
When my 3 year old hit his sister I didn’t know what to do. I knew I shouldn’t punish but the boundaries weren’t working. Your course gives so much more than boundaries, and even just today I used so many of your tools. There are so many things in there I never would have thought of. My son even said sorry today for the first time ever!! I feel so good about how I am handling situations, thank you SO much!
Somewhere along the way I realized I needed to break free from the way I was parented by my father. In my journey I came across you and your parenting course. It was life changing for my family. Our relationship has improved, our kids are happier, and I am more calm. Just wanted to let you know your work is amazing!!
Imagine this…
Hour-long tantrums shrink down to minutes.
You feel less guilt over your parenting.
You feel confident setting and holding boundaries.
You start feeling more at peace in your home as soon as this week!
You hear the sounds of your kids laughing and playing together.
You start to love parenting your little kids.
This sounds too good to be true, but every one of these examples is from our students of our Parenting Little Kids course! Through The Nurtured First Approach we teach you how to use loving and respectful discipline to bring peace to your home!
Parenting doesn’t come with a user manual – but this is pretty close
I’ll take you step-by-step through creating change in your home.

Questions? Ask away!
How long do I have access to the course?
For a lifetime! We created the course with busy parents in mind. Skip ahead to any lesson that you need right now (like our lessons on tantrums or hitting) and come back for the rest when you need it!
What ages is this course useful for?
The course is designed for parents and caregivers of kids 0-12 years old.
I have a baby or preverbal toddler - will this course still be helpful?
Yes! You can use strategies outlined in the course even when your child is preverbal! As you use the tools you are building an incredible foundation from the very start. Plus, you’ll have unlimited access to the course which means you can watch at your own pace and revisit it as you need it.
Would a teacher, early childhood educator, or other professional find this course helpful?
Absolutely. The course does speak directly to parents but the information is applicable to anyone working with children and families in a professional role.
Are there downloadable resources in the course?
Yes! Inside of the course you’ll get access to downloadable guides like our: Power Struggle Guide, Tricky Topics Guide, and our Body Safety Guide.
Is there a written version of the course?
Yes! You’ll get access to both the written version and video lesson version.
Does the course cover behavioural issues?
Absolutely. The course teaches you how to deeply understand your child’s behaviour and gives you plans for how to respond to even the most complicated behaviour!
How is it better than other parenting courses?
We found other parenting courses were so focused on one-size-fits all scripts and tools – that parents were left feeling stuck when their child’s behaviour stayed the same even after repeating the scripts over and over. We made the course parents were asking us for. Of course we still offer the practical tools you can start using today – but we go deeper. Our course helps parents understand WHY their child’s behaviour is happening and gives parents a plan for how to make real change.
What's in the course that you can't find on Instagram?
So much! Instagram offers a glimpse of the information you’ll find inside the Parenting Little Kids course – so if you enjoy our Instagram page, we can assure you that you will LOVE the course. The course offers a deeper dive and gives you our practical frameworks for tantrums, discipline, the 4 reasons why behaviour happens, plus covers all the most common behaviours kids have.
What if the course doesn't work for my family?
We believe in the course so much that we want you to try it for 30 days risk free. If you don’t feel totally happy with your purchase after 30 days we refund you in full. (Yes, that is how much we believe this course will help you!)
Why do I even need a parenting course?
You could read stacks upon stacks of parenting books and comb through hours of academic research and studies on neuroscience, family psychology, and child development.
You could try to piece information together from a hundred parenting blogs, YouTube videos, and Instagram stories. But at the end of the day, you’d still be thinking, “I need a plan!”
Parenting Little Kids does this for you and helps you:
- Gain a better understanding of your child’s emotions (and your own!)
- Respond to meltdowns and challenging behaviours (ie. biting or hitting) in healthy ways
- Collaborate with your child to co-regulate their emotions and solve problems together
- Identify how your own childhood experiences relate to your parenting triggers
- Navigate moments of chaos with confidence and restore peace to your home
- Parent in a way that aligns with your personal values and goals for your family
- Validate and have empathy for your child’s feelings (without sacrificing your personal boundaries and mental health)
Can I gift the course to someone?
