Kristen quotes all of my favourite parenting authors and then some. She shares extremely relatable stories and a myriad of practical tools, which I can begin to implement immediately. She has curated the course in a way that is full of tools and information, but somehow never gets overwhelming. Aesthetically, it is simply stunning. Such a pleasure to watch and listen. I know I will come back to it again and again. Thank you Kristen for sharing your wisdom. I'm so grateful to have learnt so much.

Kristin describes RIE parenting in such a way that really sits with me. I’ve always been inspired by RIE parenting and followed Janet Lansbury, but I don’t think it really clicked until this course. Kristin’s insight on children is so enlightening. I had many Ah ha! moments while watching the course content. She has a way of beautifully expressing it all in a way that makes sense to the viewer, and she lays it out giving you the tools to make a life changing shift in your parenting. It’s beautifully edited and easy to watch. I love how the course is broken up into shorter modules so you can absorb a little of the content at a time. It really gives you a chance to reflect and go at your own pace. I highly recommend this to all parents of young children. It is unlike any parenting course you’ve seen before.

Kristin, thank you for sharing your own personal parenthood journey with us along with your deep reflections and the research you have done along the way. This course was an absolute joy to watch. Kristin's calm sophistication and sense of humour make her very likeable. I love that this course liberates you from a very regimented mode of parenting that a lot of us experienced as children. 3 days in and my daughter is already a happier child. she has noticed a difference and she's only 2 years old! I will keep coming back to this course as long as it takes for the message to become the norm in my own household.

Just finished the course and I definitely feel empowered and ready to continue parenting in this beautiful way. Thank you, Kristin, for your kind spirit and calm presence. The way you conveyed your research, experience and advice was so easy to understand and I could literally feel a pressure lifting from my shoulders... This pressure we all feel to do it perfectly, to make our kids "behave." But this method makes me feel free to connect to my child on a level that I know in my soul is the way to really be, the way to really love and guide these tiny beings that are mirrors of ourselves. My husband and I started to watch it again together this time and I am excited for him to experience and learn too. Every parent should do this course, the world would be a much more peaceful place if so. Thank you, thank you!

I've just completed the course, and wanted to take a moment to say thank you for putting together such a well organized, clear, and effective online workshop! It was well worth every dollar spent! Many times these online learning classes can become too long, or try to cover too many topics at once, but this one certainly stands out from the rest. For me, it was a great reminder of how to remain present, prioritize connection, and welcome those big emotional moments as opposed to try to disrupt, eliminate, or manipulate them. In the past few weeks, I have put a lot of your mantras and guidance into practice, and feel so much more at peace at the end of those "difficult" or "challenging" days. Knowing that I am helping and supporting my two young children through moments of big emotions is so much more rewarding than punishing or shaming them for the very feelings we as adults often deal with. Your calm and nurturing tone throughout the workshop creates such a peaceful and serene feeling, and I've found my children are so much more receptive when I speak to them in a similar way. Thank you again, for the tools to help make parenting so much more enjoyable and rewarding...people like you are truly making the world a brighter place!

This is the best online course I ever found, I need to do it over and over again to assimilate all of it. It is hard to change our patterns but it s such a great mindshift and it's the only course that I found who s providing parents with a actual step by step on how to act with our children when their having a crisis. This course should be payed by the government for each pregnant woman all over the world. It would make such a difference. I wish so much I found it before, but it's never too late. Thank you Kristin for being such an inspiration every single day.
