Or

Subject Line: are you interested in a monthly Positive Discipline refresher class?

Dear FIRSTNAME,

Last month I attended a 4-day international conference on Positive Discipline and am feeling so inspired. This is a movement, truly, to make the world a better place and you and I are part of it!

<<Include a picture of you at TT if you like>>

Seriously, I know you’ll agree that we are all here to help our children become respectful, resourceful, resilient and contributing members of society.  And Positive Discipline is ALL about that.

It’s been a while since you took a Positive Discipline class with me, and I hope that you are still feeling encouraged, empowered, and confident, at least sometimes, in your parenting.

If you’re like me, you felt energized by the Positive Discipline classes you took, learned new tools in the process, and were inspired to make changes.

And yet, in those tense parenting moments that come all too often, it was (is!) so easy to fall back on threats, yelling, lectures, punishments and/or bribes.

<< FIRSTNAME >>, you’re in good company! We all resort to the old ways when pushed to our limits.

The reason it’s so easy to fall back is because it took years for those old ways to get hard-wired into your brain.

According to brain research by The NeuroLeadership Institute and other neuroscience experts, it’s nearly impossible to undo what’s been hard-wired.

However, it’s relatively easy to lay new wiring. (read more about that in The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge)

The Positive Discipline classes you already took helped you to create new beliefs and new ways of thinking. The myriad of tools, concepts and principles like “kind and firm at the same time” and “connect before correct” all felt right. The new wiring began to get laid down.

And yet.

It’s still hard to make it stick.

It’s a stumbling block we all face:  translating what we KNOW, into what we actually DO . . . on a regular basis.

That’s why my friend and fellow Positive Discipline Trainer, Marcilie, created Positive Discipline Roots. <<affiliate link goes there>>

She and I both know that changing parenting beliefs and behaviors is really hard!  We agree that while 14 hours of Positive Discipline classes is extremely helpful, it isn’t the end of the road. Marcilie and I need reminders and refreshers, and we teach this stuff!

So, she co-designed this 8-month series for the specific purpose of deepening and thickening that new brain-wiring you began to lay in the classes you already took with me (think, “brain roots!”)

She designed this series in order to:

  • deepen your understanding of Positive Discipline
  • reinforce what you already know
  • encourage you with a group of like-minded parents/caregivers
  • answer your lingering questions
  • give you opportunities to practice new and old skills
  • help make PD practices more automatic

As with any new skill, making PD practices more automatic takes time, practice, encouragement, and attention. Being part of a supportive, like-minded community with a certified Coach and PD Trainer makes it easier.

PD Roots is a fabulous and fun way to get the support you need in order to show up more consistently, as the parent you want to be.

The 9-month Positive Discipline Roots program includes:

  • 8 monthly reinforcing classes
  • binder with class materials (for live class) or downloads (for virtual class)
  • membership in a private discussion group
  • optional participation in Buddy Support Program (you’ll get a buddy to talk to once/month for listening, brainstorming solutions, and encouragement)
  • access to recordings of the virtual class until July 31, 2019

This class is open to people like you who have already received at least 10 hours of Positive Discipline instruction.

Early Bird pricing ends Aug 30.  Register for Roots now <<insert affiliate link there>>  to take advantage of this ridiculously low price ($219 now vs. $259 after Aug 30.)

I know you don’t know Marcilie as well as I do, so here’s my guarantee:  If you are not happy with Roots after the first class in September, you can get a full refund. There really is no risk to signing up now.

You may also get to know Marcilie better by listening to this interview, The Science of Positive Discipline — one of the most-played episodes of The Joyful Courage Parenting Podcast in 2017, or sign up for her Free Teleclass: 6 Obstacles to Peaceful, Positive Parenting (and how to get around them.)

I hope you’ll consider this opportunity to keep the momentum. In practicing Positive Discipline, we are taking small steps to change the world!

Warmly,
