FREE Intro to Positive Parenting Workshop

Wednesday, December 11th @ 10:00 CST
Join us for a fun, practical and interactive "empower hour" to learn about the foundations of Positive Discipline in a unique way. Discover the difference between discipline and punishment and powerful ways to work with your child’s development, not against it. Each participant will come away with two powerful tools to invite more cooperation from children that they can use immediately at home or school. Showing up to this workshop is the first step in a transformational journey.

testimonials 

“Everyone needs a Lucy in their lives. Not only is she an incredible source of energy and positivity, Lucy has given me the tools and support I have needed to simplify my life in a way the works for me. There are no unrealistic gimmicks, just actionable manageable steps.”

"I took Amanda’s Chaos-Calm programme and I cannot sing her and the programmes praises enough.  The course was so incredibly helpful, thought provoking and empowering.   Amanda’s clear presentation skills, structured yet informal approach enhanced by her in depth knowledge and practical experience of child behavioural psychology ensured that we as course participants left more knowledgeable and more equipped to deal with the challenges of parenting. 
I will definitely be signing for future courses."

“Prior to starting the Positive Discipline 6-week course, there were certain situations, where I wasn’t sure what the best response was with my 3-year-old. The course has made me realize that there are always options to challenging parenting situations and learning proactive responses can turn a situation around very quickly. It has made a huge difference to us! Thank you!"


"Lucy led me into deep reflections about how much the respectful and positive approach can be life changing! Before the sessions, I didn't realize how necessary this approach was! The sessions brought easy strategies that I could immediately apply in my classroom and at home, and I could already start noticing the difference in the environment! Lucy’s knowledge and sense of humor made me feel comfortable to share my challenges and difficulties, without any judgement whatsoever. She led me into solutions, making me feel understood and supported throughout the process."
“Lucy has been a true force for good, full of positivity and energy, and friendly and professional in her approach."

"What I enjoyed most about working with Amanda has been her calm non-judgemental empathetic and solution focused approach. It has really helped me be open, reflective and honest which means I have then been able to learn and really use the sessions."

"Amanda’s Chaos to Calm programme is a Godsend for anyone struggling with challenging behaviour at home and a perfect Parent Education  programme for Montessori schools."
