Practical tools to enable healthy communication, build trust and create safety long term

Week 1: Welcome and Orientation

This first week is about getting you settled and ready for the journey ahead. You will have your first session with your coach and commence your online learning. You will gain clarity around your intentions and what to expect moving forward into the next eleven weeks.

Week 2: Setting Your Intentions

Here will become clear about what you receive from our Empowered Parenting Process. We will explore your strengths as a parent and plan how you can support yourself through the process.

Week 3: The 10 Pillars of Transformational Parenting

Here we will explore the 10 Pillars of Transformational Parenting. We have broken down these pillars into three segments: The head, the hands, and the heart.

Week 4: Making Sense of Attachment Science

Here we will explore your generational patterns of connection, intimacy, and relational safety. How we parent ourselves and our children is an inheritance passed down from generations before us. We will not make your history nor your present bad or wrong. We will name it for what it is, and make a commitment for what you’d like it to be moving forward.

Week 5: Making Sense of Nervous System Science

The physiology of parenting is the cutting edge of understanding our internal world as parents and the internal world of our children. With understanding, comes calm. With information, comes internal safety. Knowing the ins and outs of our nervous system helps us support our children’s budding nervous systems.

Week 6: Making Sense of 'Mindsight' and Brain Science

Empowered Parenting includes a deep understanding of the power of the mind. This week we go deep into mindset and how our thoughts connect you to 'self' and compassion. We will explore the neurology of empathy and compassion and how parents are literally their children’s brain sculptors. 

Week 7: Making Sense of Emotional Intelligence

The heart of Empowered Parenting is understanding how our physiology, brain, and emotions work together to create our inner orchestra. Understanding emotional intelligence provides both the parent and the child with inner and outer freedom to thrive together. We dive into how we can support our children’s emotional development and give them “permission to FEEL.”

Week 8: Empowered Conversations

We have laid the foundations of the head, heart, and hands of Empowered Parenting. Now, we move to the voice. Navigating this new paradigm of connection, relational safety, inspiration and presence, practically requires a PhD in communication.  We begin that process here together.

Week 9: The PEACE Process

You’ve made it to the essence of Empowered Parenting! Here we combine everything you have learned so far into our Jai Methodology of PEACE. We believe ALL conflict within a parent/child dynamic or between siblings, can be solved PEACE-fully. With our methodology, all punishments, contrived consequences, threats, bribes and excess rewards can be set down. We have the practical, actionable steps you need to thrive through disconnection, confusion and parental overwhelm during your most challenging parenting moments. 

Week 10: Exploring Anger and Healthy Aggression

As we continue our process through Empowered Parenting, we must confront every parent’s best friend or rather, worst enemy: anger. Hint: Emotional objectivity does not mean disconnecting from the emotion, rather it’s the ability to feel with healthy non-attachment and how to practice, and model, anger resolution for your child.

Week 11: Playful Parenting and Storytelling

Play is every parent’s superpower! We will explore your playful inner self, so you can meet your children in theirs, no matter the age. We explore the twelve play languages, the four temperaments and the barriers that keep parents from playfulness. 

Week 12: Your Personal Transformation

In our final week, we will come together in the spirit of celebration and reflection. We will reflect on the shifts you have made as you implement your learnings and how that has influenced the behaviour of your children. Is there more peace? Is there more joy? This week we look back with deep appreciation of the huge shift that has happened within your family life.

1:1 Coaching on Zoom. Safe, judgement-free and fun!

Proven Parent-Centric Method to encourage awareness and growth

Proven Results - Thousands of success stories globally since 2011

The 12-week Stress-free parenting program was a revelation. I was expecting to come away with strategies for ‘fixing’ my children but came away with a fuller understanding of myself, how my thinking and behaviour translates to the kids, how children’s brains work, and what they’re actually capable of. I feel like I’ve been parenting half-blind for all these years.

Danielle has the gift of being able to build a strong sense of trust with parents and a safe space to share, even for us reluctant sharers. She gently examines your parenting struggles with you from all angles, probing just enough to help make real change without scaring you off. She brings the theory to life in startling and enlightening ways. And how amazing to have such a knowledgeable, non-judgemental ally in your parenting corner.

I feel better equipped to understand and work with my children’s different personalities, to continue building a real connection with them to see us through the tough years, and to actually solve the day-to-day niggles rather than just hoping to outlive them.  What a magical gift – and what might the world be like if everyone had this opportunity for greater calm and connection in their homes?

Working with Danielle has had a monumental impact on me as a parent and generally from a personal development perspective.

The online course is perfectly complimented by the 1:1 coaching sessions with Danielle.

It is hard to narrow down to the specifics that have been so impactful as it has felt like an organic growth.

Certainly at the beginning the explanation of, and normalisations of the concepts of power over and power under parenting were very helpful for me and the exploration of where those mindsets had come from provided a simplified platform from which to develop.

Simplification is a theme. I have found myself gathering questions that I intending to raise with Danielle at our sessions but increasingly knowing what her answers would be; connection, connection, connection!

My relationship with my children has come on immeasurably, I have connected with them to a whole new level.

I am more confident of the importance of my role as a father and this is providing a perpetual improvement in our family life. 

Thanks very much Danielle!

We feel so fortunate to be working with Danielle. Her coaching has helped us gain new insights into our parenting process, and a constructive perspective on our children's behaviour.

Thanks to Danielle, we feel inspired, motivated and better equipped with understanding, and actual tools we can utilise on our parenting journey. We are grateful for the insights and strategies that have evolved during our time with Danielle.

Through the program, we've taken a transformational journey through our own childhood and become aware of how our upbringing influences our parenting.

We've been introduced to well organised resources which encompass the nervous system, compassionate communication, emotional intelligence and seminal works from other leaders in the field of early childhood development and parenting psychology. 

Through this work, we are now on a journey to disrupt our negative parenting behaviour and are working towards a more peaceful and harmonious household.

The work is quite profound and we couldn’t ask for a better guide than Danielle.
