Why I failed a parenting course

Once again, showing why I’m not perfect, even though I wish I was ;)

This isn’t a sponsored post, but I am doing Jodie’s 12 week course (again) free of charge so I can share my experiences with you.

If you click on the link in the sidebar or here it will take you to her site so you can sign up. I’ve just signed up for Jodie’s affiliate program, so I do get a small fee if you join the course, but because you’re a reader you get a $20 discount if you type in the code ‘FRIEND’ at the checkout!

Details:

What: Parenting Manifesto 12 week online parenting program
When: Starts the 10th of September and goes for 12 weeks
How much: $127 (not bad for a calmer and happier life!)
Book now

You get the book or ebook, website membership which gives you access to the online course and forums as well as Jodie’s great weekly emails.

So, have you failed something before?  What makes change difficult for you?

  1. Ah, I think I’ve failed a few! I have a book and VHS tapes of a parenting course that my sis once gave me and I’ve never done it properly. VHS tapes!! That’s how old it was…. sigh, sigh….

    Have done a lot of parenting things for my ASD son which have had good trickle down effects for the other three kids. But have gotta admit that I am at my best as a parent when the wee darlings are at school… sad but true!

      I love your honesty Seana!!! I think I do my best parenting when I’m asleep ;). What’s a VHS? Just kidding!

  2. Oh Laney, I wish I could get my partner to do this course with me, as our issue is us not agreeing on how to discipline – I want to set clear boundaries, natural consequences, positive parenting etc, he is more punitive. It’s a major issue for us. Sigh.

      Perhaps start it without him. Maybe you can get him to read Jodie’s book. I can’t imagine how anyone could respond but positively to it. I really do think it will help you both find a way to parent that suits you both.

  3. Lee – we’ve had other parents do the program to address this very issue. Even if your partner doesn’t do it all with you, it can have amazing flow on effects. At the very least, it often gets the conversation going. I hope this helps! Cheers, Jodie.

  4. Hi laney!
    I am doing this course too. I really need to find the time to dedicate to it! It sounds like its a great course. I haven’t done week 1′s task yet, so reading this has made me get my butt into gear and do week 1.
