It's ironic, isn't it?
Before we have kids, we don't learn about parenting.
And after we have kids, who has the time?
Technically, we're doing the hardest job on the planet - raising human beings - with little or no prior training, some hearsay knowledge and a lot of 'gut feeling'!
It’s no wonder we feel so overwhelmed and frustrated so often, in spite of having the best intentions in our hearts.
Confident Parenting Is a Learned Skill, Not an Innate Talent
We don't expect our kids to automatically know how to ride a bike, read a book or tie their shoelaces on their own...
Why then do we expect ourselves to automatically know all about raising tiny little human beings to be happy, compassionate, successful adults, without any training or support?
If you're struggling with parenting, it's not because you're a bad parent.
If you feel overwhelmed, it's not because you're incapable.
If you feel like you're failing your kids, it does not mean you're a failure!
It just means it's time to pick up some new skills and better support!
Because when you have the best support for yourself, you can give the best support to your kids!
What if there was ONE place you could go for trusted parenting information from multiple vetted experts?
What if there was ONE place where you could ask proven parenting professionals questions specific to your situation and get answers?
What if there was ONE place where you could connect with other like-minded parents who understand what you are going through and are happy to share helpful strategies and solutions that have worked for them?
Thankfully there IS such a place!

As a mum myself and in my work as a child psychologist it has been invaluable and very inspiring for me. I’ve learned so much from all the masterclasses and expert calls and I love the way you lead those. You always seem very well prepared, asking great questions and making to the point summaries. I also love your enthusiasm and the personal touch by sharing your own experiences as a mum. So a big heartfelt thank you from me.

Connect with Your Tribe of Like-Minded Parents
Since we started the Academy back in 2020, our members have told us over and over that the masterclasses with renowned psychologists and child behavior professionals have made a profoundly positive impact on their parenting approach…
And getting answers to their own specific parenting questions from proven experts was a game-changer for getting "unstuck" when they felt trapped in challenging parenting situations…
What they found equally helpful was being able to connect with other in-the-trenches parents just like them with whom they could share their troubles, celebrate their #LittleVictories or just vent, without any fear of judgment!
This is where our private Academy Facebook Group comes in.
It's a safe haven where you can glean advice (or give it!), learn a new tactic (or share one!), or simply chat and laugh about the weird and wonderful world of parenting with other like-minded parents, knowing that no matter what, they get you and they'll always have your back!
Just Watching ONE Masterclass and Attending ONE Call Each Month Pays for Your Membership
Everything Else is Icing on the Cake!
You could go it alone...
You could read 100+ parenting books in your “spare time”...
You could search Google for days on end, sifting through thousands of sites for answers to your parenting questions...
You could keep struggling on your own going through countless cycles of trial and error…
OR
You could join the 1,000’s parents who are already members of the Academy and get:
Those same parenting books in an easy-to-digest masterclass format
Practical and trusted parenting information curated and collected in one place
A ready-made community of friendly, helpful parents willing to share their struggles and successes so that everyone can learn, laugh, and benefit!
Let's Recap!
When you join the Academy you'll receive instant access to all the learning and support you need to be the exceptional parent you've always wanted to be, so you can support your kids in the way they need!
102 Expert Masterclasses each based on a popular book on parenting or personal development (With a conservative estimate of $37/masterclass, this is a $3,774 value)
2 Live Coaching Calls Each Month with professionals specializing in different fields of parenting (Again, with a conservative estimate of $37/call, this is an ongoing $74 value each month)
Private Facebook Group to connect with other like-minded parents (priceless )
BONUS: Searchable Knowledge Base of Relevant Parenting Information. Not only do we upload recordings of every single coaching call and masterclass, but we also make it easily searchable so you can look for solutions in a pinch! (a $497 value)
BONUS: Downloadable audio files and transcripts for all masterclasses and coaching calls so you can learn as you go about your chores or exercising, and read while you commute! (a $397 value)
BONUS: One NEW Quick Action Plan each week, based on a masterclass or a coaching call, so you can keep making continuous improvement in your parenting even when you are super busy! (a $197 value)
BONUS: Additional "Surprises” Throughout The Year. We love spoiling you with surprises! So we send you additional workshops, printables, quizzes, quick wins tips and more, multiple times a year. (How can we even estimate the value of this?!)
This makes everything (that we can estimate the value of)
over $4,900! ($4,939 to be exact!)
And you can get it all for a few pennies a day!

You're Busy. We Get It.
That's Why We Designed the AFineParent Academy to Fit A Busy Parent's Schedule...
We have no fixed "Course Schedule" or "Timetable" that you have to follow.
Folding laundry?
Play any masterclass as you fold and pick up powerful parenting insights while finishing up a chore! (You can do the same while cooking, exercising, long commutes, dog walks and more!)
Got a few minutes until the baby wakes up, or kids get back from school?
Open up the members-only private group and catch up with your new BFFs.
Have an hour you can set aside for personal growth twice a month?
Add the coaching calls to your calendar.
Want answers in a pinch?
Search our extensive knowledge base to pull up exactly what you need.
Mix and match things in ANY WAY that fits your life. That is the beauty of the Academy!
It all boils down to this...
Would you rather sleep easy knowing you have access to the best parenting help on the planet?
Or, scramble madly when things go boom?
Because children are curious, and on a never ending quest to learn and discover.
So they WILL test boundaries. And push limits. And break rules.
You can let this drive you up a wall.
Or, you can learn to join them in their journey, and support them in becoming amazing, confident, well-adjusted human beings.
Even when things go boom.
Let us show you how!

Frequently Asked Questions
All our masterclass and coaching calls are typically around 60 minutes long.
Each masterclass captures the best ideas from the book that inspired it. In many cases, they are organized into smaller sections of 20-30 minutes each so you can consume them more easily.
The Q&A calls are 60-minutes but you can drop in and out at any time if it overlaps with other engagements.
Most of the ideas we cover – positive discipline, habits, values, life skills, findings of latest research etc. – apply to most kids in the birth - 13 years age bracket. That said, some of the ways to implement these ideas differ for different age groups, and we cover those with specific examples within the masterclasses and calls. So for instance, if we're talking about chores and teaching kids how to take responsibility, our expert will have specific examples for you for each of the different age groups.
We are extremely picky about the experts we invite and vet them exhaustively. Consequently, all our experts are highly respected in their fields, and have published books, some of which are international bestsellers. Most of them are also practicing clinicians, psychologists, professors and counselors with years (if not decades) of experience working with parents and/or kids. And all of them are also parents, so they know both professionally and personally what it takes to turn all that knowledge into practical strategies that busy parents can put to use right away!
If you are looking for the most practical, research-backed, well-organized information that can help your whole family thrive, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything like this anywhere else.
All masterclasses are pre-recorded.
The coaching calls are live, but we will also record them.
We provide the recordings (for both the masterclasses and the Q&A calls) in 3 different formats -- streaming video, downloadable audio, and either a printable transcript or a summary -- so you can match it to your learning style (and your mood at any given time
