It's ironic, isn't it?

Before we have kids, none of us really think of reading about parenting.

And after we have kids, none of us quite has the time to dig too deep!

So technically, we're doing the hardest job in the world - raising human beings - with little or no prior training, some hearsay knowledge and a lot of 'gut feeling'!

​Can you imagine a doctor or plumber trying to do their job this way?

No wonder most of us default so often to nagging and yelling all the time. And end up with so many power struggles. And feel so lost and adrift. And unsure in our own knowledge of what to do when faced with difficult situations. 

It's time to change that!

Over the course of 5 days from May 22 - 26th, 16 of the top experts in parenting and psychology fields, with decades of research and clinical experience, are coming together to share tips, tricks and techniques that we parents can start using right away to raise happy, well-adjusted kids.

And the best part? It's FREE and fully online!

The core essence of the most popular books for parents brought to you, for FREE directly by the book's authors in quick, easy-to-digest little bites... How can it get any better? Are you in?

We bring the conference to you! The conference is completely online. Just register on this page and during the conference, we will send you an email every day with that day's talks. You can view them from the comfort of you home. In your pajamas. With no makeup on. While eating a tub of decadent chocolate ice cream. Or not. Your call.

FREE and Flexible!

The conference is completely FREE between May 22 - 26, 2017.

We'll start with 3 conference days with five to six talks each day. Each talk is around 45 minutes long and you will receive the access links by email. You decide when is the best time for you to watch them. Can't watch all the talks on any given day? No problem! We'll have 2 bonus catch-up days at the end of the conference with all the talks from all the days. So go ahead, watch it at your own time and at your own pace!

Unique Cohort of Speakers!

Our experts are passionate about the topics they speak about and have spent years, in most cases decades, researching them and working with parents and kids. And they're from both parenting and psychology fields to cover the topics in breadth as well as depth. You simply won't find this set of speakers coming together to talk about Positive Parenting anywhere else!

Addresses Your Concerns!

Earlier this year, I ran a survey on my site and got over 550 responses from parents just like you. I've poured over those and combined them with our experts interests to find the perfect topics to cover in these talks. Our experts and I have spent tons of time discussing how to offer the most value in each talk. Consequently, every single one of these talks packs a punch and contains incredibly practical and useful tips that can potentially change your life starting right now!

You're in Control!

Ever been to a conference where you were stuck at the back of the room and couldn't follow a word the speaker was saying? Or next to someone who had an opinion to share about every. single. thing. the speakers had to say? Well, guess what... not only will you have the best seat at this conference, but you can also pause, rewind and forward the talks! How cool is that?

We've Got You Covered!

Are you a new mom, or a an old hat? Do you have just one kid, or a dozen? Have you just heard about positive parenting for the first time, or have you been practicing this for ages? Are you single, married, have a partner or co-parent in two separate households? No matter where you are, we'll meet you there and provide you all the support you need.

Meet Your Host

Hi, My name is Sumitha and I am a regular parent like most of you.

Before I had my daughter, I honestly didn't give much of a thought to parenting. After all, parents have done this for ages... how hard can it be, right? 

Oh, how naive I was!

My daughter challenges me every step of the way. She is my joy one minute and a source of abject exasperation the next. Raising her has made me come face to face with the depth of my character and the shallowness of it. I revel in my strengths one moment and the next, I am moved to tears by my weaknesses.

In 2013 I started AFineParent.Com to make sense of it all. Its been a fascinating and fulfilling few years since! This conference is in some sense a culmination of everything I set out to do then -- be curious, learn, keep an open mind and find a way to really enjoy the journey while finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

I hope you find as much value in participating in this conference, as I did in putting it together!

Behind-the-Scenes Rockstars
