The way we were parenting is the primary factor in determining how we parent. But what if there was trauma or family dysfunction? How can parents break free of their subconscious conditioning to become the parents they want to be and not react like their parents?

The answer is not to do the opposite, as it might be just as imbalanced and also get negative long-term outcomes. In fact, some of the common quick fix parenting practices have hidden harmful long-term outcomes. So how can a parent get on a healthy path for their parenting journey? Research holds the answer.

Did you know that research has identified five parenting styles but most people only know about three or four? Sixty years of research has repeatedly shown that there is one style that gives the best chance of achieving the healthy long-term goals most parents want. Even most therapists and social workers don’t know about these 5.

That does not mean there's "one right way to parent." That style is like an eight-lane freeway millions of parents can follow to their common healthy goals while having a totally unique family journey.

In this course, you will learn how your subconscious mind receives your parenting programs. Then discover how to get on a healthy parenting path and building a healthy family while working together as a team with your parenting partners, including caseworkers and birth parents.
