Parenting has become more difficult than ever...

...and most of the "experts" and techniques out there are just making things worse.

Do any of these situations sound familiar...

• Do you want to feel more confident about your own parenting skills (even when nothing seems to be working and everyone jumps in to criticize what you're doing)?
• Are you frustrated when your child stops responding to methods that always worked before (such as praise, rewards, time-outs, sanctions, talks)?
• Are you ready to assert your role as the main influence in your child's life (instead of peers or popular culture)?
• Do you feel conflicted between your role as a parent and your demanding career, your partner, and even your wish for alone time?

Parents who work with us gain the support, the insight, and the confidence to be who their children need them to be.

There's no denying it, parenting just isn't the same as it was in the past. Much of the support that parents once had from our culture has disappeared.

In fact, the "parenting industry" (all the books and advice and shows) never really existed a couple of generations ago. They have only sprung up because so many parents are looking for answers.

The problem is that most of these "solutions" are just making things worse because they usually only teach parents techniques and tricks for how to deal with the symptoms (behavior and learning problems) NOT the actual underlying disease.

We help parents understand what is going on with their kids and reclaim the loss of natural, intuitive parenting. We help families transform; and we help kids grow into their unique potentials.

Regain your power to parent

A great deal of our work and programs are based on the revolutionary insights of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, a developmental psychologist whose books, lectures and workshops have taken Canada by storm.

Dr. Neufeld believes that the insidious problems we’re seeing today with our youth are rooted in the lost orientation of children toward the nurturing adults in their lives. He fully discusses this phenomenon in his best-selling book, Hold On To Your Kids. We encourage you to learn more about Dr. Neufeld and read an excerpt from his book to understand the foundation of our programs.

We have trained intensively with Dr. Neufeld and recently brought his Power to Parent course to Marin County, California.
