Do you ever feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting parenting advice out there?
Maybe you didn’t like being raised in a “my way or the highway” or a “I’ll give you something to cry about” household. You want to parent in a kinder way, but you also don’t want to be permissive. You want to find that kind and firm “sweet spot” but you’re unsure of what it looks like exactly and the smorgasbord of parenting advice out there isn’t helping.
If that sounds about right - this course is for you.
Register now for The JoyFULL Home 6-week course and be prepared to feel confident you’re leading your family in the right direction.
Don’t let these precious years slip by

“Valerie’s Positive Discipline course will resonate with parents interested in a relationship-based approach to parenting. Valerie’s thoughtfully designed course is insightful, informative and useful. She delivers the course material in a relatable, engaging and lighthearted manner. You will leave with a much better understanding of your child/children and the often misguided causes behind their behaviour.”

“Valerie’s parenting class is a must-do for any parent of one, two, or more kids! We spend money on all the kiddie items and baby gear, but how often do we invest in our own abilities to parent? Since my children are little, The JoyFULL Home 6-week parenting course is the course I never knew I needed, but I’m so glad I took. We all have a lot to learn about positive parenting techniques that foster growth and independence in our kids, and Val’s class is a warm, encouraging and fun way to add tools to your parenting toolbox. I plan to take the course again when our kids move closer to their teen years, as I think it would be especially helpful for parents of pre-teens."

"I have to tell you, this class is changing our lives. Taking the class together with my husband has opened up a whole new world for us. Instead of seeing a repeated problem with one of our kids, and not addressing it for the simple reason that we didn’t know how, we talk like we’ve never talked before. We identify and understand what’s happening together, we problem solve together, and we follow through, together. We’re so grateful that you delivered this amazing information in a way that we connect with so it stays with us and keeps us on the right track."

“Valerie’s 6-week Positive Discipline course called The JoyFULL Home has helped me to become more aware my own beliefs about discipline and to identify triggers that may perpetuate unhelpful behaviour patterns in both myself and in my child. Valerie is a born teacher in the way she delivers Positive Discipline theory by provoking reflection and stimulating a passion for the practice. Through eye-opening exercises, entertaining demonstrations and with her own anecdotes of being a mother and an educator, Valerie leads the way for a new generation of parents raising compassionate, respectful, courageous and resourceful children."

Frequently Asked Questions
Some parents really enjoy attending together, but it’s not compulsory. Sometimes one parent attends while the other parent looks after the kids, then switch roles for the next session. Sometimes one parent is just not on board with attending a parenting class. That’s OK. You can still make a difference in your home life, even if you’re attending alone.
If you have to miss one of the classes, there will be a summary email that will follow a few days later. For the emotional safety of the class participants and due to the delicate nature of sharing in our small group, the classes are NOT recorded. The course book is a great resource to keep up with any learning missed.
No. In order to keep an emotionally safe environment I do not record the classes. For now, this is preferred by most course participants.
Each weekly class is 2 hours long. There is a complimentary course book and a chapter or two is assigned each week. The choice to read is optional.
You’ll need some type of device to join the live Zoom class each week…and a pen (or a few if you are a stationary nerd like me!). I deliver or mail your course package prior to the course start date (depending on your location) so you’ll have all the handouts for note taking.
The price is per person. Class seating is limited so that each participant gets the personal support they need.
Joyfull Coaching does not offer a refund after course registration is complete.

“I used to be that teacher that believed that if you gave up control, you’d be seen as nothing but a pushover. Man, was that ever a myth. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for everything I learned in Valerie’s course, and how it has shaped how I view both student, and adult behaviour. Positive Discipline has been one of the best bits of professional development I’ve ever done! Thanks Valerie.”
