Parenting Classes

From Stressed and Insecure to Confident and Connected

A Play Therapist Explains Why These Parenting Trends Didn't Work for You (And What to Try Instead!)

Parenting doesn't have to be a daily struggle.

We know you’re busy, and that’s why we’ve created two options for our parent education.

Live parent classes
Learn Online 

You can learn on your own timetable, when you have a quiet minute at your desk or on your couch, with our online classes. Build your skills with four lessons, each of which has handouts, explanations, and real-world application assignments, so you can put what you’re learning in action right away. You’ll be learning four of our most powerful skills.

“Seeing my daughter try and be proud of her attempt to cut a heart out during our third session of Special Playtime was exactly what she and I needed. I am now able to guide my daughter during her difficult moments instead of lecturing her on what she ‘should’ do.”

Live parent classes

If you’d rather, you can enjoy the community and connection of our live parent classes, available with sufficient enrollment. We meet virtually so you can learn from your desk on your lunch break. Our 10-week classes teach you the skills play therapists use, giving you a way to get control of day-to-day interactions. We’ll give you tools that you can use right away to set limits, make your days run more smoothly, all while improving your relationship. Studies show that kids’ behavior improves at home and at school, AdHD symptoms are decreased, and parents’ attitudes toward their kids improve after learning the curriculum that we use in our parent classes. 

Research studies have shown that these classes can:

  • Reduce or eliminate behavior problems

  • Enhance the parent-child relationship and marital relationship

  • Develop responsibility and self-control in children

  • Increase children's self-esteem and self-confidence

  • Increase parents' feelings of warmth for their children

“Lynn and the parents in our class truly created an intimate group where we felt open and able to share our struggles as parents. We all had one common goal which was to connect with our children and learn how to navigate parenthood. The time we have with them is very fleeting and I wish that I had discovered Lynn’s course earlier so that I could have been applying these valuable skills to my relationship with my daughter much sooner. Whether you are a single parent, married, or anything in between, this class is priceless and will change the dynamic of the parent-child relationship and how you view your little one.”
