Positive Discipline
Online Summits
Parenting teens is hard
I know this to be true. I am currently on my own journey of parenting teenagers and the challenges are nothing that I saw coming. As I looked for help I found that the conversations that I wanted to be having about teens weren’t available. And that while there is a great NEED for adolescent mental health support, it can be really hard to find it in our communities.
These mini summit are my way of bringing the professionals and the conversations straight to you, parents of teenagers.
There are lots of topics that could be included in a summits like these. AND, there is so much information that we can consume. The “mini summit” format is designed to give you useful information that can forward you on your journey of parenting your teen, without overwhelming you.
The topics covered in these mini-summits are hard to talk about. Parents with teens that are struggling often feel very alone and ashamed. My goal is to shine a light on these topics in a way that allows parents to feel more capable and informed – and to allow all parents to recognize there is no shame here, simply children that are doing the best they can with the tools they have.

What spotlight summit is for me?
Positive Discipline for Parents of Teens Summit
$97 USD
Access for one year
This summit was created as a direct result of moving into the teen years with my own kids and NOT finding the conversations that I wanted to be having about raising adolescents.
Each speaker is a Positive Discipline Trainer speaking directly from their own experiences of raising teens with PD, covering all of the hard topics for parents who are currently raising teenagers.
Adolescent Mental Health Summit
$49 USD
Access for one year
Adolescent mental health is a top concern for parents around the globe. We worry about what is normal teen development and what is cause for concern.
The Adolescent Mental Health Mini Summit provides valuable information for parents around learning challenges, eating disorders, self harm, anxiety, depression, and more.
Sex Ed for Parent of Teens Summit
$49 USD
Access for one year
Times they are a changing, and the conversations we NEED to be having with our teens around sex, dating and relationships are NOT the conversations that we had with our parents.
The Sex Ed for Parents of Teens Mini Summit offers conversations around values, consent, relationships, dating, and all the mischief we hope our teens aren’t getting into – with support for how to respond if they are.
Risky Behaviors and Teens Summit
$49 USD
Access for one year
It is really hard to have honest conversation about our teen’s risky behavior. When our teen comes home drunk, or we suspect they are smoking weed, we don’t typically share it on Facebook. When they get into trouble with the law, we tend to keep it to ourselves. Many of us dive deep into fear and grasp for control – and isolation.
The Risky Behavior and Teens Mini Summit was designed to support you in growing your relationship with your teen while setting boundaries and taking care of yourself. This is about finding the balance between connection and firmness so you can best support your child.
Teens & Screens
$49 USD
Access for one year
If you have a teen, chances are, you are navigating how to set limits on their screen on a regular basis. This is a hot topic! Parents are unsure about healthy limit setting, how to navigate gaming, what kinds of monitoring they should be doing, and steps for keeping their teens safe in an online world.
The Teens and Screens Mini Summit covers ALL OF IT. Five conversations with five experts that are sure to be useful.
Parenting for a Brave New World
$97 USD
Access for one year
The world changed in 2020. We are raising kids who are coming of age during a global pandemic, social and political unrest, a climate crisis – and a time when uncertainty is the norm.
The Brave New World Mini Summit explores topics related to a changing school environment, mental health concerns, parenting for social justice, financial literacy, and taking care of ourselves through it all.
“The most powerful tool we have for influencing behavior is the relationship we nurture with our teens.”

What is Positive Discipline?
We incorporate Dr. Jane Nelsen’s Positive Discipline parent education based on the theories of psychologists Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. Positive Discipline helps your child feel a sense of significance and belonging through learning important skills of empowerment, self-reliance and cooperation. This parenting style encourages kindness and firmness at the same time.
Sproutable’s online courses are officially licensed Positive Discipline products.
Kindness is the way we interact and connect with our children, honoring their dignity and respecting their needs.
Firmness is the way we respect ourselves and the needs of the situation, as well as following through with what we say we are going to do.
