Over the past few months I haven't been a big fan of myself as a parent.
Do you know why?
Because I felt out of control and I felt like I didn't have a plan for dealing with tough behaviors. The school year has been exhausting, life has been busy, and although I've been happy and I love my kids, this year they've spent a lot of time pushing my buttons... then I would react... which would result in me spending a lot of time nagging, reminding, punishing, and yelling at them.
I hated it.
Not long ago I did a webinar with Amy McCready, founder of Positive Parenting Solutions, and I learned some amazing tips for how to improve my kid's behavior without nagging, reminding, punishing, OR yelling. I went from yelling at my kids several times a week (sometimes several times a day) to stopping cold turkey. It felt fabulous to get under control and have a better idea of how to deal with frustrating behaviors! I want to make sure you get to feel the same way too which is why I am so excited to share the details of our TWO upcoming webinars with you!
On Thursday, May 22nd I am excited to invite YOU to join me and hang out in FREE LIVE one hour parenting webinar with Amy! We'll learn why kids act out and simple, positive discipline strategies to encourage kids to listen and do the right thing.
Last week when I posted about this free parenting webinar on our Toddler Approved Facebook page almost a thousand of you signed up, so we added a second session!! Now we're offering both a morning and evening session on May 22nd.
Click to register for the 1pm EST/10am PST session OR the 9pm EST/6pm PST session on May 22nd. All times are based on USA time zones.
During the webinar Amy will talk about...
- why kids really misbehave
- how your personality may actually fuel misbehavior
- the 5 R’s of Fair & Effective Consequences so kids listen the first time you ask
- training resources to reduce your parenting stress & stop nagging, reminding & yelling
This webinar gives you strategies to use with kids ages 2.5 on up. I wish I would've learned some of these tips before my kids hit the toddler stage and I actually had to start using them. I definitely recommend you come join us whether your kid is still a baby or is getting ready to go into kindergarten. The more you know NOW, the more prepared you'll be when your baby turns into a toddler!
My goal is to fill my summer with fun, not frustration. I desperately need to review the 5 R’s of Fair & Effective Consequences since I've been forgetting to use them lately and our house has not been very peaceful. I want you to have an awesome summer too, so I hope you'll join me on Thursday!
What you need for this webinar:
All you need is your computer - no webcam required. You'll see and hear Amy on your screen, and you can even ask questions in the text chat. I'll be there too to chat with you too and answer questions.
I rave to friends about this webinar all the time. It is seriously the most useful way to spend an hour! By the time you are finished listening you feel empowered and ready to immediately implement the tools that Amy has taught you!
RSVP today and then join us from the comfort of your home. I love that I can lounge in my PJs on my cozy couch while enjoying this free parenting webinar, instead of sitting in an uncomfortable chair in a small room at a parenting workshop.
Space in the webinar is limited, so register soon!
Viewing on mobile devices:
If you plan to join in using your phone, the app we recommend for viewing the webinars on mobile devices is called “Puffin Web Browser Free”. There are other Puffin web browsers so it is important when searching the app stores to use the phrase above.
The app is “free” to download, however, during certain times of day, they charge 99 cents to use the part of the app needed for viewing (typically in the evening).
The app is available for Apple devices as well as Android devices. The links below will take you directly to the app. You can download the app to your device now for free but should be prepared to spend 99 cents if you participate in the evening session.
If you have any other questions about participating in the webinar definitely leave a comment on this post! Can't wait to "see" you on Thursday!
In the meantime, I'd love it if you could let your Facebook friends know about this upcoming parenting webinar - just click this link to share on Facebook.

This sounds like a great idea, but it would have been nice to see a sample of the tips that would be given during the talk – not just a list. Even though this method might be something that is positive and works, doesn't mean it is a philosophy that everyone would want to buy into.
A Simple Life Too, thanks for your comment.There was no expectation when attending this free webinar that anyone would need to buy into anything. It was offered as a free parenting webinar for those that are interested. The video linked in my post also provides some info of what was offered in the seminar. positiveparentingsolutions.com/webinars/toddler-approved.html I highly recommend the program but don't expect all to be interested in it. Amy also has an entire website dedicated to sharing about her program and loads of parenting if you want to learn more about her philopshy prior to the free webinar- positiveparentingsolutions.com/parenting-blog
Only saw this information today, but I would love to participate in a webinar if you are doing another one!
Hi! I registered for the am webinar, but am now not able to make it. I tried to re-register for the pm class but it's full. any chance to switch times?
Oh bummer! So sorry Robin but at this time the PM webinar has been full for a few days. I will be hosting another webinar soon though. I will keep you posted.
I have my reservation confirm and am looking forward to the seminar. My computer is on the fritz and I was hoping to connect with my mobile device. I downloaded Puffin but am uncertain how to connect. Please advise

Looking forward to the webinar. I have the reservation confirm. My pc is on the fritz and not sure how to access webinar on mobile device. I downloaded puffin but wasn't sure how to connect. Please advise. Thanks
I hate that neither of these times work for me.. Is this published or in a book or any other way that maybe I can read this info? I was wondering cause its easier for me some times to read the info than to get online and watch.. Thanks!!
Hi Kristina – all sorted on the Sydney time. Found it when I am about to register. Great idea – how it does the conversation for us.
Hi Kristina – can you tell me what time it is in Sydney for the 9pm session. I was not sure where in US you are. Thanks!
Hi what would the times work out to in south africa johannesburg? I would love this but not sure if can with time change. A podcast would be amazing. Philippa
Hi Philipa I think the 10amPST session is at 7pm in Johannesburg and the 6pmPST one is at 3am in Johannesburg… but you might want to double check. There is a "show in my time zone" link when you clikc to register, so you confirm that way. Hope to see you!
Any chance we could get a certificate for participating for our files and records?
Hi Miss Dede- Amy does't offer certificates for the 1 hour webinar but she does offer them for those that complete her Positive Parenting course.
Thanks!
Hi Ala! Thanks for commenting. There is currently not a recorded podcast available. The sessions are done live. Since we've had such a great response to these two sessions hopefully we'll have another one soon that works well for our awesome Australian readers! I will keep you posted!- Kristina
Hi Kristina, I would love to join the webinar but we are traveling on Thursday. Is there any way I could listen to the recorded webinar afterwards? That would be fantastic since I think this is definitely something we need a bit of help with in our family…
Hi Marieke- Thanks for checking in. There is currently not a recorded webinar available for those that can't attend. Since we've had such a great response to these two sessions hopefully we'll have another one soon that works for you!- Kristina
Hi Amy, the seminar times don't work out for me in Australia. I really would love to see the presentation. Will there be a post cast recording available for download?
Hi Amy, the session times totally don't work out in for me in Australia (3am sleeping and 11am busy with 3 little ones). Will there be a recorded podcast available?
