The problem is that no one really prepares us for the monumental responsibility of raising this little human. And I'm not talking about safety, food, shelter, and clothing. I am talking about higher needs.

The social and emotional requirements a child needs to learn including:
 

  • right from wrong
  • self-control
  • respect
  • responsibility
  • cooperation
  • contribution
  • self-esteem
  • self-worth
  • honesty
  • compassion
  • integrity
  • self-expression

You can have the kind of relationship with your children you have envisioned.  You can help your children develop skills to become loving, motivated and successful adults. You can have FUN parenting and you can start now!

Are you tired of having a stressful home?

In the optimal world, we would all take a really good practical parenting class before we become parents.  Unfortunately, that almost never happens.  Usually, we go into it with high expectations, and then our toddler quickly humbles us to the point of giving up.  Parenting should be rewarding and FUN!  You should feel like you are making a difference in this little one's life, teaching her everything she needs to know to become a properly socialized contributing member of society.

Luckily, no matter your stage of uncertainty or frustration, I can help you turn this around.  Initially, you need to invest some time and energy into learning a new way to approach parenting. The time you invest now will be returned to you a hundred or even thousand-fold in increased cooperation, respect, control. Imagine a time when your parenting authority is completely present and effective.

If you are spending minutes, even hours a day in frustration and ineffective tactics, it may seem impossible to add more to your plate.  However, this is EXACTLY what you need to do to turn this around.  And it will happen so much faster than you think.

How it works...

For nearly 30 years, I have taught parents in person, over the phone and most recently via Zoom.  During the pandemic lockdown and ongoing, parents joined us every weekday from over 20 countries all around the world.

The Positive Parenting Lifetime Membership gives you access to the library of past recordings.

You can take is the recorded (audio) class with real parents that I taught over the phone. Or, you can follow along with the Zoom Video class with a different group of parents. Plus there are additional stand alone zoom videos on topics such as: Dealing with Picky Eaters, Temperament Tools, Teenagers, and so many more.  The classes are broken it into 10-30 minute lessons and you listen at your own pace. The class is designed to be taken over a 6-week period, however you can listen faster or slower, whatever your schedule allows.  You can listen to the recordings on your computer, or download them on to your phone or other devices and listen at your convenience. One dad listens while he is on the treadmill! Most of the lessons have homework to do based on the material.  This homework is something to do with your children. Nothing will change unless you try new things, and the homework is designed to give you success quickly.

  • Parents expecting or having children of any age, from toddlers to teens
  • Step-Parents, Grandparents, aunts and uncles, babysitters

I completed the positive parenting class and I feel so grateful for finding this class. I had actually done one of her free group calls for more information probably a year ago and I instantly realized I needed these classes. At the time I was a struggling mom of a very active 2 year old who felt like my child ruled the house. At the time I finally decided to take the class my child was three years old. They say “parenting doesn’t come with a manual”. I think this is as close as you can get! The classes/teachings/group discussions are amazing. I am amazed at my household growth, personal growth, and the growth I have seen in my child. I feel like I couldn’t put a price on the knowledge I have gained. So grateful that Debbie came into my life. The beauty about these lessons is they are life long and can take you through all ages and stages of your children. Not to mention you can apply them to your marriage, and professional relationships. I learned a lot about myself and helped me realize areas that I needed to work on and how certain behaviors I did(yelling, coercing, etc) was harmful and did not help my long term goal. You would think that is a “no brainer” for all parents. I knew I shouldn’t do that, but that’s how I was raised and i survived and quite honestly I just didn’t know what else to do. I know I wanted to raise a self-reliant confident child who did not feel like they had to “recover” from their childhood. I think all parents want to have a bond and raise children that will be productive members of society. So If you are struggling and not enjoying parenthood I would strongly recommend these classes. Thank You again Debbie for all your time and help.

I've been taking Debbie's course for the past month, and ever since I started applying her positive parenting techniques our life at home changed completely. What is great about this course is that Debbie gives you practical and efficient ways to learn how to deal with the tantrums, it is not only a theoretical class. For each situation I was faced with at home with my 3 year old daughter, I was able to find a way to deal with it positively and create a learning experience for her. I used to spend my days "fighting" with my daughter, but I discovered that by shifting my parenting style to a positive one, you can actually find peace at home.

Thank you Debbie for being so generous with your time and for doing the daily Free webinars for the past two months, and I'm so happy I even took a step further and purchased the positive online class you offer on your website, it gave me access to so much more valuable information.

What More Parents Have To Say:

  • Everything you say is so helpful My life has changed with my son & whenever I feel any set back in our relationship I notice that I’m talking less care of myself & the problem is that I am the one stressed out so I take care of myself & things get back to normal!
  • I’m also about to go back through the whole course since some rivalry issues are arising since my little baby turned 9 months & started crawling & eating. I’m sure I’ll find all the answers for my questions in your course. Really really thank you so much!
  • I knew I wanted to parent differently than my parents. This course gave me the tools to be the parent I wanted to be.
  • We loved the changes we saw in our three children and in our relationship as a couple as we worked together to raise our children.
  • I have been easier on myself. I am encouraging more and nagging less. We are letting our daughter take more responsibility.
  • We almost didn’t take the course because of the time and cost, and we really weren’t having a crisis with our children. We’re so glad we invested in our relationships — we now have so many skills to positively manage future challenges.
  • I have been more patient, understanding and excited to listen to what my kids have to say. Because of my attention my kids have been really expressive. I looked forward each week to come to this class!
  • We liked the emphasis on practical application of principles that we had only thought about before.
  • The class activities helped us see the world through our children’s eyes. Now we’re firm and kind when we set limits.
  • This class was so helpful to me & my family that my son & I are best friends again, the sweet love that we used to share is back! I know the tools I learned in this class WORK! Now I have someone who helps me around the house ~ very interesting concept! I find that this course has helped me in all my relationships and has made my marriage better too. Thank you for all your love and support!

Many years ago when I had 4 children ages 6 and under, I became very discouraged and felt sure I was going to ruin all of them! I felt like a never-ending nag, a police officer patrolling my home looking for lawbreakers. Then my mother-in-law introduced me to the book Positive Discipline by Jane Nelsen. A wonderful book, but I learn best by experiencing...which is where Debbie Godfrey’s Positive Parenting classes came in. My husband and I signed up for her classes, and we were not disappointed. Her ability to teach and help struggling parents was (and is!) amazing. She helped us learn positive, respectful (kind but firm) ways to stop power struggles, nagging, and other negative parenting behaviors. I was able to stop being the enforcer of the law and instead let “the law” (natural and logical consequences) be the enforcer, allowing me to be a more relaxed and calm mother. Instead of opposing my children so much, I learned how to be on their side and work together with them to create expectations that made our home a much happier place. I will forever be grateful to Debbie for her influence on me, my husband, and, indirectly but powerfully, on our children.
