10 Lesson masterclass on courageous and confident parenting

Yes! Patrick’s strength as an author and speaker is taking complex subjects and making them so simple that even a caveman can understand them! His two TEDx talks and his talk at Google were rated so highly because of the practical and actionable nature of his message. He teaches a ton about the brain, and when things get complicated, he’ll warn you with a nerd alert.  He does that so if you want you can skip the “why” parents should do something and go right to the “how” parents can do it.

Absolutely! We all have different roles and perspectives in our families whether we are moms or dads. The positive impact that you can have on your children is what is really important for any parent.

When you were a teenager and going through puberty did you get angry or moody? Did anyone explain to you the science of hormones and changing bodies and minds? Did knowing that the chemicals in your body were changing help your parents and teachers be more understanding of your behavior? If you found research that would equip you to teach your children to feel safer in this world, to sleep better, and to reduce anxiety, would you be inspired to put it to use? Science-based parenting gives loving, caring parents more arrows in their quiver to make the parenting experience much more effective for both the children and the parents. In the words of Pope John Paul II “Science shines forth in all its value as a good capable of motivating our existence, as a great experience of freedom for truth, as a fundamental work of service. Through research each scientist grows as a human being and helps others to do likewise.”

If you care enough about being a great parent and raising awesome kids, then you can sacrifice 30 minutes of extra sleep every Monday. In fact, Patrick suggests that you get up 30 minutes earlier one day of the week to watch a new lesson. Since your neurons repair themselves after a good night’s sleep, morning is the best time of day to focus and learn. You owe it to your children to make this adventure of parenting as effective and enjoyable as possible.
