LEARN POSITIVE PARENTING'S

Groundbreaking Time-Out Alternative:

the time-in
Are you tired OF...

asking nicely,
repeating yourself 100 times,
then parenting in a way you're not proud of?

If traditional parenting methods have you feeling disconnected, it may be time for a time-IN…

CONNECTION
  • Time-outs prioritize punishment
  • Time-outs build walls of isolation
  • Time-outs create feelings of shame & resentment
  • Time-outs teach kids to suppress emotions
  • Time-outs teach kids to blindly obey
GROWING TOGETHER
  • Time-ins prioritize teaching
  • Time-ins build connection
  • Time-ins create feelings of acceptance and love
  • Time-ins validate all feelings (*not behaviors)
  • Time-ins empower kids to collaborate & problem-solve
Time-ins are carefully constructed conversations about big feelings and behaviors.

CONFIDENCE

86% of parents who subscribe to positive parenting practices say they don’t feel confident holding a time-in!

Why?  There’s no “time-in manual.”

Something needed to change….
