Level 2 - Step 3. Primary Parents Toolshop® Advanced TIPS (CORE)


This is the CORE training, which we have 30+ years of outcome results and rave reviews from almost every parent who has attended the class. (Scroll down for testimonials...there are hundreds more!)

On one hand, it teaches basics that everyone needs to know, but many professionals don't learn these concepts and skills, so they are also rather "advanced!"

You'll learn so much but in really easy-to-understand ways. You can read, listen or watch each lesson, whatever way you prefer to ready.

Most importantly, after each chapter, stop, take notes, answer the review questions, then practice for at least a few days before learning new skills.

You may be amazed at the dramatic results you get from  small changes, tiny tweaks, and slightly different perspectives.  

Best of all, you'll get what no other parenting program has, "The Universal Blueprint® Parenting Success System." It's our proprietary problem-solving / decision-making process, which you can use to find customized solutions to each challenge, even complex issues or ones that are unique to your child and family.

You can Transform Your Parenting, Family and Life with This Course

This self-paced online course is the next best thing to attending our fun, edu-taining live classes. It includes videos of our live class, which is the best way to learn the Universal Blueprint® system that’s both advanced yet easy to digest and process. Here's a 5-minute preview video.

Note: The Parents Toolshop® meets all criteria set forth by the “Parenting Curriculum Decision-Making Checklist” created by the U.S. Dept. Of Health and Human Services. Based on these definitions, this curriculum is a “Promising research-based program” that uses “solid research” methods to determine the outcomes of the program, namely a “descriptive” outcome evaluation study measuring pre/post skill improvement by the participants.

Here's What Graduates Say About Advanced T.I.P.S.

Watch Rose Graduate:


I’m not sure exactly how to thank you for teaching this class. It has literally changed the dynamics in my home from a battle (complete with swearing, orders, and foot stomping) to a mostly cooperative, sometimes chaotic, but overall LOVING atmosphere. I am enjoying my children more than I ever have, because I have learned what to reasonably expect of them and how to teach them my expectations. I am keeping myself calm (most of the time!) and focusing on what I want my children to do, what they can do, instead of constantly scolding, “no!” and putting them in time out. I don’t know if there’s a greater gift you can give a person than helping them better their relationship with their children. I am so, so grateful to you for teaching me how. What I’ve learned in this class will positively impact my family’s entire future. Thank you. All my best.

Rose Lounsbury, mother of triplets

Watch Carrie, a therapist, graduate


This is a fabulous program!! I am a parent, a grandparent, a therapist for children and adolescents and their families, and a former elementary school teacher and wish all parents would take this workshop. It is so effective, positive, and useful...and so "user-friendly." I have recommended it to many families, including my own adult children. A million "thank-you's" Jody, for this treasured gift!

Valerie K. Sorosiak, MS, PCC

Watch Jamieson, Carrie's husband and a police officer, graduate.


I just graduated from the workshop and I can not tell you how blessed I am from the resources, applications, presentation, and the materials I received. No matter the issues I felt were unique to my child, there seemed to be an answer to the problem. These simple steps to building a family blueprint for MY family apply. The more I do it, the easier it gets. It is not just about making life easier for me as a parent, it is all about raising my children in a healthy way despite how I may have been raised or how the rest of the world says I need to be. I do not have to read a thousand other books. All the information is in one ”Universal Blueprint®”.
