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?
