Joyful Parenting Course
Create a peaceful, relaxed family life.
You want to feel confident that you can handle the challenges, support your children's learning and really enjoy your precious time with them........without feeling overwhelmed.
You want to feel more calm around your children but it doesn't always happen.
Here's the problem......
Many well-intentioned, mindful parents still get caught up in conflict with their children. They end up yelling and threatening even though they vowed they wouldn't be THAT kind of parent. They don't want to use consequences or limits but sometimes they just don't know what else to do.
Often the beliefs that we learned in childhood are unconsciously controlling our words and actions. Left unaddressed these beliefs can keep us stuck in conflict indefinitely.
Unlearn your old beliefs and bring an end to the stress and struggle.

This course will immediately help you:

* Connect with inner calm and wisdom, even in the most challenging moments.

* Transform the way that you communicate with your child. No need for threats and yelling.

* Ask for what you want in a direct and honest way. No need for nagging or manipulation.

* Dissolve the struggle with your child by addressing the root cause. Learn how to shift your perspective and find creative solutions.

* Support your child when they are angry, anxious, frustrated or prone to meltdowns.

Based on the Joyful Parenting book, this workshop‑style course brings together the wisdom of spiritual and parenting leaders such as Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now), Byron Katie (The Work), Dr. Thomas Gordon (Parent Effectiveness Training), Marshall Rosenburg (Nonviolent Communication) and Lawrence Cohen (Playful Parenting).

Instead of reading countless parenting books and relying on trial and error you can learn directly from someone who has mastered the art of conscious, peaceful parenting.

In the safe and confidential space offered by this course you will be supported to find your own solutions to family problems.

This course provides a clear and achievable path to punishment-free parenting even with the most spirited and challenging children.

"Joining you in the Joyful Parenting Course was a truly rewarding experience. I was looking forward to it every week. The easiness, comfort and joy that came from the way you conducted the course was simply infectious. You gave me the gift of remembering how to listen to my children with an open heart and full presence.You reminded me of the joy that was more important than the need to get things done my way. The biggest gift, however, was your presence, love, non-judgement and support that I felt every step of the way. I would recommend this course and your book Joyful Parenting to anyone who really wants to have a long-lasting and loving relationship with their children. Your work is a gift for generations to come." Veronika, course participant.
"What an amazing gift to complete a course in parenting that reminded me of the parent I want to be. Of the parent that will help my child flourish on all levels. For my family to live the reality of my best self. What a wonderful thing, to have my values and my beliefs as a parent awaken. To have an amazing mentor to discuss and collaborate with. To have a team of fellow parents exploring their path along with me. To share our journeys. To grow and evolve together. It has instilled a confidence in me that I have the perfect skills to support my family as we flourish. This is one instance where thank you is not just a word. It is a whole and soul felt expression of gratitude." Lucy, course participant.

Testimonials
Trish

The course reminded me the joyfulness and love within me and the tools helped me to tap into that. Freya’s Skills for joyful parenting encouraged me to leave my pre-conditioned thinking at the door and open my heart to joyful parenting….who knew! Her ideas were revolutionary to me, every parent should read this transformative book.

My children love the game “Kissy Cow” that was born from the time spent playing “their” games for 30min every night (Skill 5:Playtime). When asked by the teacher at school “How does Mummy make you laugh?” They replied “Playing Kissy Cow”

Really enjoyed the topic “Question your thinking” and the turn around, most of “”my” issues melted away when I started using this tool regularly. — Trish

Laury

The information and processes are really so very helpful and I can honestly say they have really changed and shifted lots of stuff for us! I often call in Freya’s energy in our family dealings and it has been a great help. — Laury

Julia

Freya taught me a simple way to not make my family responsible for my sadness or happiness. I have a better understanding of my roles for me and for my family and the teenage years have rolled on much happier! Valuable skills for not just the Mother/Child relationship, but for all relationships, including the one with my Husband! — Julia
