Our Speakers Have Been Featured In

It's ironic, isn't it?

Before we have kids, none of us really thinks of learning about parenting.

And after we have kids, who has the time?

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 a plumber doing their job this way?

No wonder most of us default so often to nagging and yelling. And feel so lost and adrift. And unsure of what to do when faced with difficult situations. 

It's time to change that!

Over the course of 8 days from May 7th - 14th, 16 experts in parenting, neuroscience and psychology, with decades of research, clinical and personal 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?

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!
