Guide: Priceless Parenting – online parenting classes

Mom and author, Christine Hohlbaum, highly recommends the online Priceless Parenting class for learning to approach parenting with love, compassion and effective communication.

Christine Hohlbaum, author of S.A.H.M. I Am: Tales of a Stay-at-Home Mom in Europe, recently reviewed the Priceless Parenting course.

In her review titled “The Class of a Lifetime” she wrote “With seven sections, it is an extremely well-organized lesson plan that covers the whole gamut of parenting. From toddler behavior to teenage talks, it is a comprehensive course that reminds us we all have choices in how we ourselves behave.”She described trying out some of the new ideas with her kids.

“It comes down to this: speaking in ‘I’ statements while telling our kids what we are going to do, alleviates common power struggles virtually immediately. I tested it out on my seven and nine-year-old. It was amazing! Instead of shouting “Get your shoes on!” while trying to get out the door, I said, “I will be in the car if you are looking for me.” Or this: “I see the struggle here. What are you going to do?” Leaving the problem up to the kid while showing interest is the key to raising independent thinkers.”“I appreciated having the Priceless Parenting course reviewed by Christine from her home in Germany.”commented Kathy Slattengren, founder of Priceless Parenting. “She provided valuable feedback as a parent with grade school children and also demonstrated that the online course can be taken from anywhere computers and internet connections are available.”  The Priceless Parenting course gives parents the tools for parenting in a way that fosters honesty, kindness, self-reliance, responsibility and self-discipline in children.

Hohlbaum concluded her review with “Parenting needn’t be a tug-of-war. With love, compassion and effective communication, we can reach common ground. Together.”

Priceless Parenting offers online parenting classes which teach specific skills needed for successful parenting. For example, parents learn effective discipline techniques for positively dealing with misbehavior without yelling or hitting!
