Punished to Playful:

The How to Manual for Getting Kids To Listen Without Threats, Punishments or asking a million times...

Become the leader in your home using practical steps and effective discipline tools that actually feel good (even if you have stubborn or defiant kids)

Most parents are using ONE way to attempt to change behaviour: negative outcomes.  What if I told you there are FAR more effective ways that don’t leave you feeling guilty or angry at your kids?

Do you just want kids who listen without having to repeat yourself, yell or threaten them?

Using positive discipline tools, instead of punitive ones, is the most effective way to raise amazing kids who listen and want to cooperate so that parenting becomes peaceful.

Maybe you’ve been trying everything to get your kids to listen and nothing is working. Does any of this sound familiar….

Everything feels like a fight.  Simple things turn into massive power struggles

Your kids are stubborn, defiant and won’t do what you ask 

You would love to parent another way, but you don’t know how

You feel like you repeat and yell all day long

Threats and taking things away feel like the only option (but it’s not working anyway)

The simple fact is...

The scientific research confirms that punitive discipline creates more resistance and resentment and doesn’t create better behaviour or cooperation

You just need better TOOLS

How would it feel to learn:

You can easily learn all of that in under 3 hours

Because I want this to be a no brainer for you…

Punished to Playful

This course is for you if you:

Need Change

You aren't happy with how things are feeling in your house and you are ready to take action

Crave Joy

You want nothing more than a wonderful and joyful connection with your kids

Want help

You want more positive discipline but you don't know how and you need a manual

Here are 3 things experts agree on...

Truth #1

Your kids WANT to listen, they just need a leader who can encourage cooperation

The amazing part about kids is that they want to cooperate with you! Once you learn how to work with them, not against them, they will (often) willingly do what you ask.

Get Cooperation, not Control

Truth #2

Your kids CAN learn to be great humans, even without negative consequences

You might be thinking "If I don't punish them, they won't learn!" I know, I have heard this many times. I'm here to assure you that it isn't true (and research backs this up!)

Taking things away isn’t working to change behaviour

Truth #3

Letting go of punitive discipline doesn't make you permissive

Permissive parenting is not the goal here. You can set firm boundaries AND get your kids to listen, you don't need negative consequences to do it.

Setting limits can feel easy

With Punished to Playful,
getting kids to listen becomes as easy as 1, 2, 3

Learn the theory

Dive into WHY your kids aren't listening, why it might be easy to resort to control and how to get out of it

Set the foundation

Learn how to get kids to WANT to cooperate, without needing any negative tools

Gain new tools

Finally feel confident with effective tools and strategies that will change your parenting for good

5/5
I definitely recommend this course. Positive parenting isn't soft, it actually is very hard. But this course guides you through it. The lessons are super short (up to 8min), but leave you thinking about yourself, your kids and situations you were in.
Bety
Mom of 2
5/5
The material is very easy to digest and gives a new view point on how children think. Since the course I am trying to regulate my emotions more and have used connection and fun play, which has led to more cooperation.

Hear Colleen talk about using new tools to get kids to listen in this 5 minute video

What if you were just 3 hours away from getting clarity on how to parent more effectively?

Maybe you're thinking

That sounds great, but...

Don't kids need consequences?

Kids need limits, rules and boundaries, YES! Holding limits, so that your kids know what to expect, can be done without having to take things away from them. In fact, punitive measures are only making it harder for your kids to listen to you, and you will be more effective without them.

But punishments work...

Some kids are more naturally compliant than others, or at least they appear to be. So punishments can appear to work for some kids. But it comes at a huge cost to your relationship and is proven to do more damage than good. It comes at a huge cost.

Doesn't play reward bad behaviour?

There is a way to use play in limit setting (and I'll show you how...) without rewarding bad behaviour. This is not about swapping a consequence directly for play. There's a lot more to it, and I'll explain it all to you inside. Plus, play is just 1 of many tools you can use.

Can't I learn this in books or Podcasts?

Positive parenting isn't new, there are dozens of fantastic books on the topic. They are backed by researched and I have learned a LOT from them. In fact, please read them all. But if you want this all broken down for you in a super easy to understand way, that is what I have done for you.

A note from ...

Colleen

Every time I hear a parent say that life is overwhelming, SO hard, or draining, I immediately want to shout “It doesn’t have to feel that way!”

Parenting is the hardest job there is (that we didn’t even get trained for).  And, I believe it can feel a whole lot more joyful and hopeful than it does now.

Your kids are growing up faster than you can imagine.   You deserve to let go of the things that are making parenting feel draining and hard and overwhelming so that you can actually enjoy your kids.

I have made it my mission to give parents:

➤ New tools and strategies that they can actually use

➤ A home filled with more joy and less stress.

➤ Confidence to parent in a way that feels good.

➤ The support they need to enjoy parenting
