The reality

Parenting today is harder than ever

Old-school parenting doesn’t work on modern kids. You’ve tried the yelling, the bribing, the pleading. You’re exhausted. There’s a better way.

🌀

Constant meltdowns

Tantrums, screaming, negotiations that never end—every transition feels like a battle.

💔

Disconnection & guilt

You love your child deeply but find yourself yelling, then feeling ashamed. The cycle repeats.

⚡

Sibling wars & aggression

Fighting, hitting, swearing, breaking things. You don’t know how to stop it without making it worse.

🧠

Anxiety & fragility

Your child struggles with confidence, avoids new things, or seems overwhelmed by emotions.

You’re not failing

You can’t help but get frustrated sometimes. You’re only human.

When your child is having constant temper tantrums, begging, arguing, fighting with siblings, refusing to do homework, causing chaos at bedtime, or holding the whole family hostage during every outing—it’s easy to feel like you’re doing something wrong.

But here’s the truth: you probably have what we call a “gladiator child.” These are feisty, powerful, amazing little people who are destined to be future leaders—but right now, their emotions are just too big for them to manage on their own.

They don’t need more discipline. They don’t need you to yell louder. They need you to connect differently—and that’s exactly what this course teaches you to do.

You love your child so much. But what if you could actually enjoy their company, too?

Child in sunshine - Connected Parenting
The method

What if empathy was medicine?

Connected Parenting increases oxytocin and serotonin in your child’s brain—building resilience, improving regulation, and defusing tantrums from the inside out.

  • De-escalate without yelling. Learn to stay calm and neutral, even during the worst meltdowns.

  • Build emotional resilience. Give your child the neurological tools to regulate their own emotions.

  • Create real connection. Not just compliance—a deep, trusting bond that transforms your entire family.

  • See results in weeks. Most parents notice meaningful behavior changes within 2–3 weeks.

The transformation

It’s a parenting superpower

Connected Parenting makes all this possible. Think of it as the closest thing to having an on-demand child therapist in your pocket.

What’s inside

6 modules. 28 videos. Lifetime access.

Each module builds on the last, giving you a complete system for transforming your relationship with your child.

The 30-year origin story of Connected Parenting and the principle of “ruthless compassion.” You’ll learn the role of self-psychology and empathy in your child’s development, why loving the “unlovable” moments is the key to everything that follows, and how Jennifer’s work with street-involved youth revealed the transformative power of connection over compliance. This module sets the foundation for every technique you’ll learn.
Introduction to the CALM technique—the core “medicine” of Connected Parenting. You’ll learn four types of mirroring statements that act as neurological “brain food,” understand how parenting has evolved and why old models fail today’s “gladiator kids,” and begin using language as a tool for real neurological change. This is where parents consistently say the lightbulb goes on—you’ll finally understand why your child acts the way they do.
Real-life mirroring applications with guided practice scenarios from Jennifer’s 30 years of clinical work. You’ll learn how to strengthen your child’s resilience by embracing engagement over avoidance—teaching them to face challenges rather than run from them. This module also covers how to navigate co-parenting dynamics without creating conflict in front of your children, and how to get both parents on the same page even when you disagree.
Containment, consequences, and loving limits—the balance between empathy and structure. Your child’s frontal lobe isn’t fully developed yet, so you literally need to act as their substitute frontal lobe. This module covers the neurology of brain development and walks you through the most common battlegrounds with step-by-step scripts: sibling rivalry, homework refusal, bedtime chaos, picky eating, and transitions. You’ll learn how to set firm limits while keeping the connection intact.
Specific techniques for the hardest moments: whining, full-blown meltdowns, physical aggression, swearing, breaking things, and outright defiance. You’ll learn about “sad and angry vortexes”—the emotional spirals children get trapped in—and exactly how to respond (and what responses make things worse). This module also covers strategies for supporting children who are being bullied or picked on at school, and how to guide them toward healthier emotional expression without shutting down their feelings.
The neuroscience behind your own emotional triggers—why certain behaviors push your buttons and what’s really happening in your brain when you lose your temper. You’ll learn strategies to “be the oak tree”—remaining grounded and steady when everything around you escalates. This module also covers how to rewrite the negative story you may have built around your child’s behavior, heal past wounds that affect your parenting, and deepen the connection so these changes last a lifetime—not just until the next meltdown.

Imagine this

Picture your life 3 months from now

Your mornings aren’t a battle anymore. Your child gets ready without a meltdown. Bedtime is calm—maybe even enjoyable. When big emotions come, you know exactly what to say and do.

Your child runs to you when they’re upset instead of away from you. Siblings play together more than they fight. Teachers notice the change. Your partner notices the change. You notice the change in yourself.

This isn’t a fantasy. This is what happens when you learn to parent from deep compassion and empathy. It’s what thousands of Connected Parenting families experience—and it starts with a single decision.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Please note that the Connected Parenting Method will work even if only one parent participates. In fact, typically the results will convince your partner or spouse to join you as you become confident with the material!

I would argue that you don’t have time not to.

Think about all the time and energy spent when you’re fighting to get your kid out the door, they’re screaming in the car, you’re screaming back, and you’re crying after you drop them off. How many more mornings, bedtimes, birthday parties, and holidays can you afford to spend like that?

The impact on your mental health and theirs is immeasurable. Yes, these techniques will take time to learn and master, but you’re a parent for the rest of your life. If you take this time now, you’ll set yourself up for a lifelong loving, affectionate, joyful relationship with your children.

So many families come to us with this exact situation, and have experienced mindblowing results with the Connected Parenting Method.

As a Clinical Social Worker and Child and Family Therapist, I see so many cases where a child has been written off with a dark and negative diagnosis.

Parenting a strong-willed child or “gladiator child,” as I like to call them, can be so challenging. They are feisty, powerful children who are often built to be leaders, but have feelings that are way too big for their little bodies.

Many of the practical, sensible parenting models that work beautifully with your other kids backfire with your gladiator.

We’ve worked with many parents who were at the end of their rope, and Connected Parenting was what gave them the skills and techniques to repair their bond and transform their family.

This course will bring out the best in them and the best in you.

Possibly! As Jennifer is a Registered Social Worker, this course may be eligible to be covered by insurance depending on your plan. Please consult your insurance provider to find out.
It’s never too late! The Connected Parenting method is focused on repair, which means that you can rebuild a bond that will last a lifetime. And the sooner you start, the better. So many of the parents we’ve worked with tell us that they felt so much more confident sending their child off to college once they had established a deeper connection and better communication skills.

What we typically see is that in the first 2-3 weeks, parents notice an immediate difference in their child’s behavior. It sometimes feels like the problems have disappeared overnight!

This is why we also set you up with tracking systems so that you can truly observe the decrease in frequency in tantrums and the decrease in recovery time.

Then, around 4-6 weeks in, you may see a resurgence of some behaviors, because a system doesn’t like change, and your child’s system is no exception. Don’t worry — we prepare you for this!

Within a few months, we typically hear from families that their kids are easygoing, loving, have a great relationship with their parents, and are even doing better in school.

If you commit to these techniques, you’ll continue to see your relationship transform and be amazed at the results!

A note from Jennifer

“I used to be such a nice person before I became a parent.” I hear this all the time. And I get it—parenting is by far the hardest job AND the most rewarding job there is.

It pushes us to our absolute limits, but it also offers the most meaningful moments of our lives. You have two choices: parent from love, or parent from fear. This course teaches you how to choose love—even when it’s hard.

I’m not going to tell you it’s going to be easy. You might lose your temper. You’ll have setbacks. But if you’re tired of feeling out of control in your own home and beating yourself up about it—isn’t it time to try something different?

I’ll be right there supporting you, every step of the way.

With love, Jennifer
