It's time for kind, calm parents

And kids that "listen" the first time

Without raising your voice, idle threats, or bribing your child with a lollipop 🍭 to do what you’ve asked.

An online program for the grown-ups of kids ages 2-5

YES PLEASE!

You’re ready for more cooperation, less overwhelm, and a proven approach that you and your spouse can agree on. 

 

You don't want to yell at your kid, but it sure would be nice if they followed your directions without you needing to nag. 

 

Gentle parenting sounds good in theory, but what does that actually look like when they pitch a fit because you asked them to stop licking the cat. 👅🐈

 

Some many parents tell me they know what the DON'T want to do, but they don't know what TO DO when their child doesn't listen, melts down, or flat out ignores their directions. 

Sound familiar? đŸ€”

If you said YES, maybe đŸ«Ł or sometimes, you are in the right place!

You’re over time-outs and idle threats

 

but it doesn’t feel great if the only time your child listens is when you lose your cool (and feel awful about it afterwards) or bribe them with more screen time or a 🍭 to do what you ask. 

And if you’re like a lot of parents today, you're still figuring out how to get your child's cooperation without yelling, time-outs, or tears.

So what ARE YOU supposed to do –

  • When your child refuses to pick up the sippy cup they just threw on the floor

  • When it's time to leave the playground but your child won't come

  • When you ask your child to go get their pajamas, but they take off in the other direction instead 

Hi, I'm Sara

I am living proof that you can raise a cooperative and "well-behaved" child using a gentle and intentional parenting approach. 

 

I love showing parents how you can make gentle parenting work for you if you have proven strategies and a plan.

 

After 30+ years of working with children, I've learned that the most important thing about raising cooperative kids isn't rewards or punishments. It's connection. 

 

Because you can be kind, calm, and respectful, and raise a child who is the same. 

AND ALSO


 

Being a calm and connected parent doesn't mean letting your child rule the roost. 

Your child is hard-wired to look to you to show them how the world works. You are their loving and trusted mentor and coach, and offering them leadership and guidance is an important part of your role. 

 

That's why I've created THE KID TALK TECHNIQUE. 

Because I'm here for parents who want to raise bold and brave kiddos who know their worth, while also realizing that kids need to brush their teeth, not pull the dog’s tail, and hold your hand when you cross the street.

I have 2 very active boys (5 and 8) and I was finding their behaviour quite challenging after school.
After implementing just that one strategy, our evenings have completely changed! Now there is less arguing and they seem so much happier (and calmer!).

The course is thought-provoking and the exercises encouraged me to reflect and feel prepared when difficult parenting moments arise.
The suggestions shared in the course are adaptable and felt natural for us to implement in our family life.

THE KID TALK TECHNIQUE is my proven formula for talking to your child so they follow your directions without raising your voice, bribing them to cooperate, or giving up in frustration because they “just won’t listen.”

There are 3 simple steps: 

 

1. Montessori Foundations & Inner Work

2. How to Give a Direction 

3. How to Follow Through

STEP 1:

 

First you’re going to nail down the underlying energy of support that signals to your child that they’re not in trouble, you’re here to help.

You’ll learn the ideas and the Montessori inspiration behind the strategies that help your child lean towards cooperation, instead of away from it.

STEP 2:

 

Then you’ll learn a simple strategies for talking to your child in a way that invites their cooperation – 

  • Specific words and phrases that make your child more likely to follow your directions and less likely to fling themselves on the floor in protest when they’re not in the mood.

STEP 3:

The final step, the last piece of the puzzle; the one that wraps 🎁 it all up and brings it all home 🏡 – is learning how to follow through with calm, consistent, and gentle support.

It's how you get from POINT A to POINT B without raising your voice, begging, or bribing. —

REMEMBER THIS? ⬆

 

After STEP #3 of THE KID TALK TECHNIQUE, you WILL know what to do!

You'll have a peaceful and positive approach that helps you follow through on your decision or direction – even when your child gets upset about it.

You'll learn ways to help your child express their feelings in safe and helpful ways, and you'll practice supporting them in tough moments without losing your cool, giving up, or giving in. 

"The biggest improvement for our family is that I have more tools in my toolbox when "troubleshooting" a parenting problem.

I don't feel so overwhelmed by "not knowing what to do" or not having a model to refer back to; the program has given me a map to refer to in the parenting wilderness.

♡ Syd Hardin

"Sara’s program has been extremely valuable to our family!

It has helped my husband and I become a more unified front on our parenting style and language we use with the kids.

Sleep has improved and there are less daily battles."

 

♡ Deanna S. 

THE KID TALK TECHNIQUE is a 6-week online program designed specifically for busy parents of young children.

 

You’ll focus on one topic each week so you can practice and apply what you’re learning without feeling overwhelmed. You certainly can do more than one topic a week, if you’d like, but the structure is intentionally designed to be simple, supportive, and realistic, so that you can create meaningful change, gradually and sustainably.
