WELCOME TO THE "BREAK FREE FROM THE POWER STRUGGLES BY DITCHING THE THREATS AND BRIBES" 3-DAY EVENT!

We will dive into the sneaky little “punishments” threats and bribes that are likely lurking in all of our homes

DAY 1

I will have a special guest who has been in the trenches doing this work as a single mom of an amazing neurodiverse kid who has done away with the traditional way of parenting (threats and bribes) and is using the ideas of connection. She will share her story, her struggles and what is working now.

DAY 2

We will have the lovely and insightful Eli Harwood who runs the incredible IG (@attachementnerd). She is a licensed therapist, author and mom! She will lead us in a presentation as to why and how threats and bribes threaten our attachment to our sweet kids. She will share why:

  • The most important lesson we teach our children is the lesson of secure attachment

  • Our role is not to control our children, but to be a safe haven and a secure base for their developmental process

  • When our children are off course we want to guide and not chide or bribe

  • Co regulating is the most effective route to learning

  • Our attachment stories live in our nervous systems, so the most effective way to help calm and soothe our children is to work on healing ourselves and the wounds we carry from when we were children

DAY 3

We wrap up the event with the incredible Dr. Vanessa LaPointe who is a former psychologist, speaker, author, parent educator and mom! Dr. LaPointe will give us ideas and insights as to how to move away from threats and bribes, alleviating the struggle to continue their use. She will be talking about:

  • Why punishing, bribing, rewards, and threats “seem to work” but always backfire!

  • Making sense of our children’s most foundational need as a means of understanding how we are meant to do life, and have peaceful homes

  • How you can have your child following along, getting their things done, and taking your lead without all the bribes and tricks

  • The 9 stepping stones of discipline without damage.

  • She will also do a Q&A.

  • “Do your homework and you can go play with your friends”

  • “If you don’t finish your dinner you can’t have desert”

  • “Hit your sister one more time and I am taking away your ipad”

I know we have all used them and they naturally come out in heated moments.

What if you didn’t need to rely on them anymore? What if you could parent in a way that didn’t have you using these just to get your kids to brush their teeth or to come home on time for curfew?


We will analyze the determinants of these little punishments and help you create new mindsets around their efficacy and what to do instead.

AFTER THIS…

…You will have an entirely renewed idea of threats and bribes, what they actually are, and how they can be impeding the connection you share with your child, ultimately causing more off-track behaviors long term. You will learn ways to implement new tools and ideas in parenting so you don’t have to rely on these sneaky little tactics that don’t feel good for anyone, even us!

If you struggle to “get things done” with your kids and are relying on using threats or bribes or other punishments

you will walk away having a new outlook and strategy when it comes to cooperation with your kids.

Dive in and have the “aha” moment you are looking for to make the transformation into more balance and calm in your home.
