“I urge anyone to take this course even if you don’t plan to do formal coaching. We all become coaches when we teach parenting classes. Great skills to have.” Terese Bradshaw, Certified Positive Discipline Trainer
“I have had parents ask me if I did one-one coaching after they took my parenting classes, and I always said no because I did not feel I had the right skills. With Dina's course and support I was able to begin my own coaching business with confidence. I could not have done this on my own; it is about learning to listen and ask powerful questions. Even if you don’t plan on coaching it will help guide your facilitation in your parent education classes. —Julie Atkinson, Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator

Here’s How It Works!
Now when a parent asks you to work with them one-on-one, you can confidently say, YES!
Access On Demand to 6 ONLINE Modules will give you an understanding of the skills of the Co-active Coaching Model, a nifty companion to the principles of Positive Discipline. Each Module includes suggestions for practice with a colleague, friend, or parent client. Each month we will meet on Zoom to answer questions, talk about business strategies and practice coaching each other at our Parent Coaching Clinic.
To receive a certificate you must send Dina your Reflectionaire after each of the 6 Modules and attend 9 of the 12 monthly coaching clinics. The program cost is $799.
