This course gives you the framework of Positive Discipline, based on the theories of psychologists Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs, and tools from the latest social neuroscience to use when caring for young children (toddlers & preschoolers).
It reminds us to ask:
Am I connecting?
Am I inviting capability?
Am I teaching?
How am I modeling?
What do they need to learn?
It’s the bridge that gets you from the challenges now to the skills they need when they are 25 years old. What does it look like to raise remarkable humans?
We show you how to invite cooperation, build strong relationships and find the joy and humor in everyday moments.
The result? Capable, confident and remarkable kids (and adults).

What is Positive Discipline?
We incorporate Dr. Jane Nelsen’s Positive Discipline parent education based on the theories of psychologists Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. Positive Discipline helps your child feel a sense of significance and belonging through learning important skills of empowerment, self-reliance and cooperation. This parenting style encourages kindness and firmness at the same time.
Sproutable’s online courses are officially licensed Positive Discipline products.
Kindness is the way we interact and connect with our children, honoring their dignity and respecting their needs.
Firmness is the way we respect ourselves and the needs of the situation, as well as following through with what we say we are going to do.
