Apply for Coaching Program

Thank you for your interest in the Peaceful Discipline parent coaching program, accredited by the American Society for the Positive Care of Children (American SPCC)! This application helps us get to know you to see if you’re likely to be a good fit for one of our upcoming groups.

We’ll start with a few basic questions.

How did you hear about this program?

Now, for some more detail. This is to help ensure we enroll only people who are really interested in and committed to doing this work. Short answers are perfectly fine.

Are you a parent or caregiver? Tell us a bit about your role.

Why are you interested in parent coaching?

If you had to choose (knowing no one's perfect and we're all learning), would you say you’re fairly new to respectful parenting and would like help with the basics, or do you feel fairly confident (at least most of the time) in your ability to lead with peace and compassion, and you’d just like some extra support while you master it?

New. I need a LOT of help with the basics of staying peaceful.

I'm sometimes peaceful, but find myself usually defaulting to patterns I know aren't healthy or ideal for my family.

I'm peaceful most of the time but want to take my parenting to the next level.

I've got this! I'm here because I want to master my skills so I can teach others.

What else would you like me to know, if anything?

Timing and Terms & Conditions

This program will meet live on Zoom for one hour at the same time each week. * You will also have approximately 1 - 2 hours of growth work to complete outside of class whenever your schedule permits (this may include videos to watch and/or a worksheet to fill out), plus reading assignments. Keep in mind that no one will "grade" your work -- it's an investment in your personal development. Please choose your session below.

ENROLLMENT FOR THIS SESSION IS CLOSED: Tuesday afternoons

Friday mornings U.S. time beginning April 18, at 9 a.m. PST / 10 a.m. MST / 11 a.m. CST / 12 p.m. EST, etc.

Neither of those work but please put me on a waitlist for future sessions.

I understand and agree to the following:
1) Tuition is non-refundable. With advance permission, payment is transferrable to another session once per calendar year if space is available. You may transfer groups no more than once.
2) In addition to tuition, two books are required for reading assignments during the program. You may purchase them or borrow them from any reputable source. They are not included with tuition.
3) Parent coaching is not a replacement for therapy or other professional services you may need. If you require professional or emergency support while going through this program or otherwise, you are responsible for seeking it.
4) This program does not certify you to coach others.
5) The trainer(s) and organization(s) providing this program are not responsible in any way for personal outcomes.
6) I do not currently work for, and will not create, an organization or program that could be perceived as competitive with this one.

I agree

I commit to the following:
1) Be kind and gentle with myself as I'm learning new skills or strengthening my current ones.
2) Be present and compassionate with others in my group, knowing everyone is doing the best they can.
3) Attend live class meetings each week of the program, with exceptions for illness, travel, etc.
4) Complete 1-2 hours of "growth work" outside of class each week (or more, if I choose to do optional work to augment my learning).
5) Keep ALL videos, intellectual property, recordings, discussions, and other materials confidential.

I agree

I understand full tuition is due at the time I apply unless I make other arrangements directly with Sarah by emailing her at sarah@dandelion-seeds.com . Tuition is $1200 and will secure my spot in the session I've selected. Once I complete this form, I'll return to the same coaching page where I applied here and go to step 2, Payment. Alternatively, if I am unable to pay full tuition, I will PayPal or Venmo Sarah as soon as I submit this form with whatever amount is accessible to me and note on my payment what it's for (along with my name). If I require a full scholarship, I will email Sarah to discuss options.

I will submit my full payment now through the site and secure my spot. (Thank you. This helps ensure the program can keep running and supporting parents and caregivers.)

I will PayPal or Venmo Sarah now with my partial payment and secure my spot. PayPal is sarah@dandelion-seeds.com / Venmo is @DandelionSeedsParenting.

I will email Sarah now (sarah@dandelion-seeds.com) to inquire about a full, needs-based scholarship.
