Does parenting feel like it’s just one challenge after another?

From the joy of watching your baby’s first steps to the challenges of navigating the school years – and everything in between – parenting is an ever-evolving journey. 

It seems like you’ve just adjusted when the goalposts change and you have new challenges. 

The frustration of endless bedtime battles. The challenge of dealing with tantrums in public. The not-so-veiled criticism from everyone including random strangers or even people close to you.

Then when you try to search for solutions by following every parenting influencer on Instagram, reading every parenting book you can get your hands on, or spending hours watching Youtube videos, you may find:

1

Endless to-do lists that leave you feeling drained just scrolling through them (what more actually doing all of that?!)

2

Conflicting advice that makes you feel as if you’re doing something wrong no matter what you choose

3

One-size-fits-all “this works every time, guaranteed!” solutions that fail to work for you, that you end up doubting yourself

ADDRESSES MY PARENTING CONCERNS
As a mom of 4 kids, 10 years old and under, I felt that it was very important for me to get professional input in raising them as they navigate each milestone at different stages in their young lives. Discerning Parent’s Club was perfect for a working mom like me with toddlers and young kids. My children have different needs and concerns, and each topic discussed in the Club weekly resonates. Whether it is about speech delay, picky eating, or regulating screen time, and more, the Club addresses them all.

I feel more informed and equipped.
Before, I felt like I wasn’t as good a mom for not having time to prepare complex activities. I feel much more confident in helping my toddler fulfill his sensory needs, I feel much more informed and equipped. I got a lot of helpful information in a short period of time!

Why is the Discerning Parent’s Club different?

First, what we share in the club is backed by science and actual research studies.

I’ve seen so many programs claiming to be “science-backed,” but the only “science” they cite accurately is that a child’s brain is developing quickly. BUT the methods they teach don’t seem to be in line with how to actually nurture this brain development in a healthy way.

In the Discerning Parent’s Club, I use my nearly two decades of training and experience in brain psychology and child development to help you benefit from the best evidence to help you with the chosen topic for the month (this October, it’s Changing Problem Behavior into Positive Behavior).

Second, as a member of the Discerning Parent’s Club, you’ll be supported in applying the science to your situation. respecting your own intuition and values.

A lot of parenting advice on the internet assumes there’s a one-size-fits-all solution.

The thing is, each parent is different. Each family situation is different. Each child is different. The causes behind behaviors are different.

That’s why we don’t just give you simplistic solutions. (Ever seen those “3 things that will end tantrums forever!” posts or videos?)

Instead, we dive into what could really be behind the behavior or challenge you’re facing – saving yourself from wasted time or unnecessary frustration.

Each month, we’ll take a deep dive into one topic that’s a challenge for the current members of the club. Then we talk about this topic taking into account the specific ages of the parents currently in the club. Here are some of the topics that we will discuss:

 You get a holistic view, and not just snippets of advice that don’t consider the big picture or that may or may not apply to you.

What’s inside the Discerning Parent’s Club?

Inside the membership, we tailor each month’s topic to you. You’ll receive guidance for where you are in your parenting journey, whether you’re a parent of…

🌟 Babies until 1 year of age (expectant parents are welcome too!)

🌟 Toddlers from 1-3 years of age

🌟 Preschoolers from 3-5 years of age

🌟 School-age kids aged 6-12

Here’s what you’ll get each month as a member:

1 Video training

As a busy parent, you need real solutions, but you don’t have hours to spend watching videos. So even if this is a “deep dive” training, it will also be concise and action-packed. This may be a live seminar, workshop, or pre-recorded videos. You’ll receive the audio version too, so you can listen conveniently on the go.

Exclusive members-only Facebook group + 1x/month private messaging

Get your pressing questions answered in the Facebook group. Once a month, you’ll also be able to message me personally through the Voxer instant messaging app.

Moms I’ve worked with love both the Facebook group and the Voxer messaging! (If you haven’t used Voxer, don’t worry – it’s super easy! If you’ve used any messaging app, you can use it.)

Handy downloadable PDF on the topic for the month

A member favorite! These handy guides have specific parenting strategies and/or activities for your child.

Unlike activity guides you’ll find on the internet, these are activities you’ll be able to do as a busy parent, without any preparation, mostly not needing any materials (or if they do, they’ll be what you already have at home).

We’ll make it easy for you to select learning activities you can do as part of what you’re already doing, without taking extra time out of your already busy day.

This way, you’ll never be out of ideas, and you won’t be exhausted either! 

Special bonus!

Get 20% off our other courses on learning through play, handling tantrums, potty training, picky eating, and more. You can also use your 20% off coupon for group or 1:1 coaching with me. After you join, contact us to redeem your bonus.

my child’s tantrums decreased significantly!
Before, whenever my daughter has tantrums, I would always apply the “ignore” approach and it wasn’t working. Now, I would ask, “Why? / Tell mama / What?” so we can connect. Somehow, her tantrums have decreased significantly. She would now reply, and I get to address her needs better.

my view of parenting has changed.
Before, I thought that our kids need to be scared of me before they will follow. Now my view of parenting has changed. I enjoy my time with my kids more. This is a great gift you can give yourself and your children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Just look back at all the parenting-related tasks on your calendar. Do you wish you could let go of some of them, but you’re afraid to because you’re worried your child might miss out? Do you spend time searching for answers to your parenting questions, then spend even more time and effort trying one thing after another?

Think of how much time you’d save if you didn’t have to do that. With the Discerning Parent’s Club, you’ll actually get back several times the amount of time you invest in this membership. And of course, with the audio and PDFs you’ll get, you can listen or refer to the material on the go (while you’re doing the shopping, stuck in traffic, and while doing chores). 

As Mian, a busy lawyer and mom of two kids under five who’s in my courses, shares – “My husband and I listen to the replay of your course sessions while driving to and from work. It’s a great way for us to talk about our parenting strategies and it helps us discuss things openly.” 

I notice that being in a community with parents of kids with different ages helps us get the Big Picture when it comes to parenting. I know it’s helped me immensely to talk with my friends who have kids of different ages. You’ll be surprised that you may have more in common than you think!

Also, this membership is designed to grow with you. You’ll find that the strategies are similar, and we just adapt them depending on a child’s age and developmental level. This club can be your home that you keep going back to as your child grows. And of course, if you have multiple kids, this means you’ll have tailored strategies for all of them!

You’ll find this club to be a valuable part of helping your child.

This membership is perfect for parents who are:

  • worried about possible language or developmental delays
  • waiting for a consult with a developmental pediatrician or a slot with a therapist
  • dealing with their child being diagnosed as having developmental delay, speech delay, autism, ADHD, or a learning disability
  • already undergoing therapy and want to support the child’s progress at home

Note that what you get in this membership is not medical advice and being in this membership does not create a doctor-patient relationship with me or our guest experts. It will not replace seeing your doctor and/or therapist/s when indicated.

That said, research consistently shows that parent-led interventions have a lasting effect on a child’s development. This membership provides parent-led intervention programs that have solid scientific evidence behind them. This means they’re not just programs that someone came up with and decided to do with their kids – but there are actual scientific studies that show they work.

Absolutely! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re already a dedicated listener of our Discerning Parenting podcast and have found value in our Toddler Talking book. 

While our podcast and book provide valuable insights and practical strategies, our membership offers a whole new level of support. 

Each month, we dive deep into pressing parenting topics, exploring them from various angles and providing in-depth guidance tailored to your child’s development. 

Our masterclasses, guest expert training, and live Q&A sessions offer a dynamic and interactive learning experience, where you can delve into the nuances of specific challenges and receive personalized advice. 

Additionally, our supportive community of like-minded parents provides a safe space for connection, sharing experiences, and seeking guidance. In the membership, you’ll discover a wealth of new insights, strategies, and ongoing support that will further empower you in your parenting journey.

You have a choice of whether to become a monthly member for $19/month, or a semi-annual member for $95 every 6 months (you get one month free). ON THIS PAGE ONLY, YOU CAN GET YOUR FIRST MONTH FOR ONLY $9.

If you become a monthly member then decide you don’t want to renew, that’s okay! There’s no lock-in period. However, you will lose access to all the content – videos, masterclasses, Q&A replays, and the members’ area – including the content that was released during the months that you were a member.

If you want to cancel, you will need to let us know at least two days before the start of each month, otherwise you will automatically be charged for the succeeding month. 

If after signing up you decide it’s not for you, let us know within 14 days and we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. After this date, even if you haven’t accessed any of the content, you will no longer be able to refund your membership fee for the first month. 

If you decide to pay for six months but you cancel before the six months, you’ll be refunded the unused portion of your membership, based on the rate of $19/month (minus the semi-annual membership discount).
