Parenting kids to flourish:
grounding in theory & guidance in practice
With Jenni’s unique Course + Coaching approach, you get a powerful combination of information and action. In the context of a small group of remarkably thoughtful parents, you’ll explore Dr Gordon Neufeld's insight into human development with Jenni’s support applying it in your family.
Participants watch video course sessions on their or with parenting partner(s), and bring that knowledge into gatherings for small-group coaching, where we’ll use it as a map to navigate the parenting challenges particular to your family.
“What you teach and how you teach it is, in a small part, the way that humanity needs to develop. You’re having a definite positive impact in our children’s lives.”
