Gentle Parenting Littles

your step-by-step guide to an empowered parenting approach where your toddler listens the first time, has less than 1 tantrum a week and you have the tools to support their emotional development for years to come!

WHAT IF YOU COULD

  • reduce both the frequency and intensity of your toddler’s meltdowns
  • communicate with your child so they actually understand
  • have a solid plan to face tantrums when they do happen
  • quickly & easily get back to normal life after a tantrum
  • actually start enjoying this stage of your child’s life

maybe you…

  • …are burnt out from constant tantrums making your house feel like a battle zone
  • …can’t go out to eat because your child ends up screaming and disrupting the whole restaurant
  • …feel like a bad mom when your child acts out so you resort to yelling to get them to listen
  • …avoid parks and play dates because you’re afraid other moms will judge your kid or your parenting
  • …question whether you were actually cut out to be a parent
  • …are terrified how all this yelling and chaos will affect your child’s future mental health
  • …worry about how losing your temper is ruining your relationship with your child
  • …dread when its time to get your child up in the morning wondering if it’ll be a good or bad day
  • …tip toe around your toddler to avoid causing a meltdown at all costs
  • …already fear the teen years when you’ll have even less control and no idea what you’ll do then
  • …are tired of your toddler’s mood dictating how your family’s entire day goes

What if I told you that you could reduce tantrums to less than once a week?

all WITHOUT:

  • Time-outs
  • Bribery
  • Yelling
  • Bargaining
  • Spanking
  • Manipulating
  • Shaming
  • Begging
  • or constantly feeling like a failure

and become the parent you always wanted to be!

Hi! I’m your coach, Merrit

Hi, I’m Merrit! I’m mom to Stella (4yo), Tatum (8mo) & Dakota (13yo furbaby). As an enneagram 5 and avid researcher at heart, I dove full force into preparing for my new role as a parent when I got pregnant with my first.

I have a degree in psychology, focused on child development, so I already had a few ideas about how I wanted to do things. After having my daughter, I got to put all my knowledge to use, and settled into gentle parenting. Seeing how much of a positive impact this method had on my motherhood journey I knew I had to share.

I see so many moms struggling through the toddler years, doubting herself, wondering why it’s so hard, and following advice that ultimately harms both her child’s development and her relationship with her child. I see moms so far into survival mode that they don’t even have the capacity to pause and reflect on what kind of mom they want to be, what their parenting goals are. Every mom should know the power of Gentle Parenting, and I truly believe that it can change our whole world!

How do I know all this? Because these are the tactics I use in my own parenting. I am proof that this works because I never have to resort to yelling at or punishing my daughter, and at 3 years old I rarely ask her anything twice. She willingly follows requests, cleans up  her messes, transitions to nap or bedtime, and is generally super cooperative. The core principles behind Gentle Parenting have worked wonders for my family, and I want to share these strategies with you so you can experience similar positive changes. You do not have to take outdated advice that ultimately makes your job as a mom harder!

I know what your thinking…

“won’t my child just walk all over me?”

No! But you need to know what you’re doing.

Gentle parenting =/= Permissive parenting

Gentle Parenting frequently gets confused with Permissive Parenting, a parenting style where the children have no boundaries and are allowed to act as they please no limits.

You do not want to make this mistake.

That is why is it so important to be fully informed before implementing this parenting style, so you don’t end up accidentally making things worse for yourself… and your child.

if you’ve tried Gentle Parenting techniques in the past, and it left your children running wild and you thinking it just doesn’t work, I can show you exactly where you went wrong, and I won’t let you make the same mistakes again.

You can have a peaceful household during the toddler years. IT TAKES KNOWLEDGE, PATIENCE AND CONSISTENCY, BUT I PROMISE YOU CAN DO IT! AND I AM HERE TO HELP YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

INTRODUCING GENTLE PARENTING LITTLES!

A 100% SELF-PACED DIGITAL COURSE THAT HELPS TAKE YOU FROM AN OVERWHELMED, DRAINED, REACTIVE PARENT TO…

  • Knowing your parenting goals and values, and why you should have them
  • Understanding the reason behind your toddler’s difficult behaviors (tantrums, hitting, etc)
  • Confidently knowing how to handle any new behavior that your toddler develops
  • Building a deep and strong trust and connection with your child that will last a lifetime
  • Working with your child instead of feeling like you’re fighting them every step of the way
  • Having a framework for parenting that can be carried into every new phase of your child’s development

I know this way of parenting works because i have seen it work first hand.

By following gentle parenting principles, my child willingly listens to requests and cooperates when asked!

Yup, you read that right. From the time she could understand me, my daughter will do what I ask of her. And a majority of the time she will do it the first time she’s asked.

There is no bribing. No threatening. No manipulating.

Just genuine respect and consideration. Because when she does express to me that she doesn’t want to do something, we work together to find a solution that works for both of us.

What most parents don’t realize is that all you really to get your child to listen to and respect you, is extend them the same consideration

HERE’S WHY GENTLE PARENTING IS ACTUALLY *MORE EFFECTIVE* THAN TRADITIONAL METHODS

I understand the overwhelming stress of motherhood, the constant worry about whether you’re doing the right thing. It’s natural to wonder if your child’s behavior is because of something you’re doing wrong or just typical toddler behavior. The fear of unintentionally causing emotional harm to your child when you lose your temper can be intense.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. It shouldn’t be this way. You have the potential to journey through motherhood with confidence in your parenting skills, knowing that you’re making the right choices for your child. You can relish every moment of parenting and cherish the experience of raising your little one.

By simply shifting your mindset and adopting a different approach to parenting, you can achieve all of this and more. Our program isn’t just about acknowledging your concerns; it’s about equipping you with practical solutions to thrive in your parenting journey.

I’m sure you have a ton of questions. Let’s see if I can help:

Gentle Parenting is an empathetic and respectful approach to raising children that focuses on nurturing their emotional and developmental needs. It emphasizes building strong parent-child relationships based on trust, communication, and understanding. Instead of relying on punishment and rewards, Gentle Parenting encourages problem-solving, effective communication, and setting developmentally appropriate expectations. It’s about guiding children with empathy and compassion while fostering their autonomy and emotional intelligence.

While the gentle parenting techniques taught in the course are applicable to all age groups, Gentle Parenting Littles is uniquely tailored to address the specific challenges and opportunities that arise during the toddler years (5 and under).

Please know that my goal is to support you on your unique parenting journey, wherever you are on that journey. If this course doesn’t align with your needs at the moment, rest assured, I’m excitedly looking ahead to creating additional courses that expand into different age groups in the near future.

Gentle Parenting and Permissive Parenting are distinct approaches. While both value a nurturing environment, they differ in their boundaries and discipline methods. Gentle Parenting sets clear boundaries and expectations while prioritizing empathy and understanding. It encourages open communication and problem-solving, allowing children to express themselves while still learning about consequences and responsibility. Permissive Parenting, on the other hand, might involve more leniency in rules and boundaries, potentially leading to challenges in establishing authority and teaching responsibility.

You will have lifetime access to the Gentle Parenting Littles digital course (plus all future updates!). Work through the lessons at your own pace, pause a mid-lesson if life needs your attention, or go back and rewatch lessons for a refresher in the future!

In this course, you’ll gain valuable insights and skills that can make a real difference. Expect practical strategies for navigating toddler challenges and fostering a peaceful home environment. You’ll strengthen emotional bonds with your child, enhancing trust and communication. By embracing Gentle Parenting principles, conflicts and power struggles will diminish, replaced by a collaborative approach to discipline. Ultimately, you’ll cultivate parenting confidence and develop tools to stay calm during tantrums and other tough behaviors, laying the groundwork for a positive, enduring parent-child relationship.

Gentle Parenting Littles is for any parent (or caregiver) who has the desire to cultivate a nurturing and respectful relationship with their toddler while fostering positive behavior, open communication, and a peaceful family atmosphere.

As a self-paced digital course, you will have immediate access to all video lessons and downloadable resources upon enrollment.

THE SECRET IS KNOWING HOW TO SET BOUNDARIES WITH TRUST AND RESPECT.

If you still have any doubts…

You do not need to enforce control over your child.

You do not need to be “the boss”.

You do not have to do things that don’t make you feel good.

You do not have to make the same mistakes.

Instead, you get to enjoy being a mom and parenting your child through the toddler stage. You get to witness her growth into the beautiful person she is and support her as she discovers her identity. You get to be the person she turns to when she’s having a tough time or needs help because she trusts you and knows you respect her. She never has to fear your reaction because she knows you’re on her side… always.

I am so excited to share this with you

A LOT OF PARENTS GIVE UP ON GENTLE PARENTING METHODS BEFORE THEY EVEN GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO WORK THEIR MAGIC

I won’t let that happen to you!

In the Gentle Parenting Littles program, you will discover how to rely on your connection with your child to guide them, nurture their sense of independence, and foster their emotional well-being.

Parenting is undeniably the most important job on the planet. It shapes not only our child’s future but the future of our world, both on a small and grand scale. I firmly believe that such a critical role should not be relegated to ‘how it’s always been done,’ especially when those conventional methods have been proven to be harmful.

Gentle Parenting Littles equips you with the knowledge and tools to never rely on raising your voice, counting to three, or threatening punishments again. It’s about embracing a transformation in your parenting journey.

I’m here to support you every step of the way, answering your questions, alleviating your doubts, and providing the guidance you need.
