Parent Differently Without Losing Your Roots
You want to break cycles of fear-based parenting. You're tired of shouting and want better tools. Learn how to keep your values whilst raising confident, respectful children, without fear or shame.
This path is for you if:
You were raised with strict discipline and want to parent differently
You're tired of shouting and threatening and want better tools
You worry gentle parenting means "soft" parenting (it doesn't)
Family members say you're being "too soft" or "too Western"
You want to maintain respect and boundaries without fear
You're struggling with triggers and repeating your parents' patterns
You want your child to talk to you, not fear you
You can break the cycle
You were raised with fear. Beatings, harsh words, shame. You swore you'd parent differently.
There's another way.
Gentle parenting isn't permissive. It's teaching instead of punishing. Connecting instead of controlling. Your values can be taught without fear or force

Common questions from parents
Parents who've walked this path
I was raised with beatings. I found myself shouting the same harsh words my mother said to me. The 5-Day Course helped me see I was still using fear. My children actually talk to me now. It's hard work but so worth it.

My mother said I was being 'too Western'. I used the boundary scripts and told her firmly but respectfully that this is my decision. She still doesn't agree, but she stopped criticising.
