Daddy Stanley and Mummy Antoinette

I used to be a hot tempered person. After the course, I learnt to stop shouting. There is less tension, and my home is more harmonious. It’s been months since I stopped yelling at my daughter!

I understand how it feels to deal with the whining, tantrums, fights, aggressive, defiant and disrespectful behaviours EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. If controlling and punishing your child leads to more unwanted behaviours, there must be a better way to parent!
9 years ago when I became a mom, I was mostly angry and depressed in the first two years.
I yelled and threatened because I didn’t know how else to manage my child's defiance and meltdowns.
I felt miserable and guilty every night because I felt I was not a good parent.
One night, I decided that I needed to change or I might just go into depression.
I poured over books, attended courses and workshops, and went through a positive parenting transformation...
...Today I am a much happier, calmer and confident mother, and I am thoroughly enjoying motherhood! I can't remember the last time I yelled at my kids in a non-emergency situation.
This is because I know what my kids are going through, I work on managing my own triggers and I focus on connecting with my kids while setting firm limits to guide them.
I went on to empower 1500+ parents with the exact same roadmap because I don't want parents to be angry and lonely like I was.
I want them to build a trusting relationship with their children!
You can break the cycle! There is no need to cane or yell to gain cooperation from your child!
"My husband, and even my helper, started to use some of the words you taught..."
"Learning about the brain development shifted my mindset immediately and I found it easier to keep calm.
The greatest affirmation is when my husband and even my helper, started to use some of the words you taught after hearing from me (e.g. for my helper, "gentle hands" with my 15-month old and role playing how to do it with her)."
Mummy Qiao Mei
"When I am calm, it's easier to help my grandson regulate his emotions."
- Nor Anne
Grandmother of toddler boy
"Jacinth has distilled the lessons into essence for us so we don't have go through it the hard way..."
"I am really thankful for the course. I signed up with the intention to be an educated parent in parenting. Jacinth has distilled the lessons into essence for us so that we do not have to go through it the hard way like her.
That day, my 2yo refused his porridge and wanted my father-in-law to switch on the TV. He started to throw tantrums and my father-in-law was at a loss. I used the words that Jacinth taught, validated my son’s feelings, and set boundaries.
And for a twinkle moment, he stopped crying and looked at me as if there was an instant connection there (I swear). ... he eventually cooperated and had his porridge!"
Mummy Mong Ling
"The other parents were watching and amazed that my toddler has no meltdowns (when leaving the playground)!"
Mummy Allyna
"My children are more cooperative when I needed them to complete certain tasks."
Mummy Claryn

Mummy Chi San
"I am now better at empathising with my toddler during her meltdowns."
"I am now getting better at empathising with my toddler during her meltdowns, and found better ways to cope.
We couldn't have done it without your help, and I am glad to have found your course, and I will definitely continue as a Sprout member!"
Mummy Pei Ying
Hear from my students on how their lives were transformed...
"What was especially useful for me was using the correct words to communicate with my child which Jacinth taught in the course. I highly recommend parents to attend the course together to align their parenting styles and build a happier family."
Mummy Adeline
"My husband used to yell and always want to stop our child from crying. I tried to share with him before but it didn’t help. Over the past month, I’ve been practising it consciously everyday and I noticed he is using the words that I use as well! I guess he sees that there’s results and he’s picking it up without me having to enforce it on him. This is probably the best way to get people onboard. "
Mummy See Kee
"Having u as the pillar to our parenting journey is the greatest achievement this year.. Not only u changed my life, you have also changed my husband. He used get angry with my son when he misbehaved and started yelling.
But after I insisted that he must attend the course with me, he changed. He became more patient and apply most of the things u taught (ABC). This really surprised me. Just want to say a big thank u for being with us in this parenting journey."
Mummy Joyce
"Ever since attending your lesson, I've been telling my children to vocalise their feelings. This evening, my son told me that "he was angry during his piano class earlier because he didn't know how to play.. but he still tried his best." I was elated in my heart and I told him that I'm happy he verbalised his feelings and that he was willing to try!
A small step but it really encourages and lets me know that what I've been doing is not in vain. And thanks to you too!"
Mummy Jen
"My wife forced me to watch the videos."
(You have to listen to this audio call I had with Daddy Habib, he shares how he managed his anger and anxiety to connect with his children)
Transcript:
Habib: You know, the biggest change which I encountered in myself is I started apologizing to my kids. You know, when you learn to apologize to your kids, that’s when you realise, what a kid goes through. It really changes, it transforms the whole relationship between the parent and the child.
Hidayath: Honestly, my husband doesn’t say or apologise very easily.
Habib: I don’t apologise easily to people.
Jacinth: “How did you get your husband to learn positive parenting?”
Husband: Honestly, my wife forced me to do it. (laughs)

This is a self-paced course and you have lifetime access to the videos. You can take your time to learn or binge-watch the videos! I have intentionally created concise, digestible videos because I know you have no time. I share only the best strategies and tips that work to make it worth your time.
That said, I strongly encourage you to commit for FOUR weeks because you will observe a transformation in your parenting after each module. I’m here to push you a little, help you to make learning a priority for this period of time. It is possible to complete the course if you schedule it in your calendar and MAKE TIME FOR IT. Because it will not only benefit you, it will benefit your spouse, your children and your grandchildren!
Today is the time you start investing in yourself.
On social media, I share the little golden nuggets about positive parenting but this course gives you a step-by-step guide through the basics of positive parenting, brain research and a simple communication framework to help you gain cooperation with your children. I will be sharing many practical tips, tell you the exact words to say, the tone to use, how to troubleshoot when the strategy doesn’t apply for your situation. I will teach you what to avoid, what not to say or do.
The most valuable part of this course is the direct coaching and community support so that you get your individual questions addressed, and with like-minded parents, you don’t feel alone or judged!
YES! In fact, I encourage you to read more parenting books!
That said, many parents have told me that they don’t know HOW to apply what they've read. They tried the strategies but they don’t seem to work. That’s because every child is different, every family is different so the one-size-fits-all approach may not work. A mummy shared “I have been reading various parenting books, but I have achieved understanding and perspective so much easier with the course!”
In this course, I am going to get into the trenches with you, find out more about your background and give you personalised advice that tailors to your child’s temperaments and personality. This individualised support cannot be found in books.
The case studies discussed in the course are targetted and focused on parents with children between 2 - 7 years old. That said, many of the strategies and tips I teach in this course applies to children across different ages (even adults as well!).
You will learn how to help your children to be more empathetic, resilient, kind, resourceful and have self-control. These skills are what most of us hope to see in our children when they grow older.
If you have a child older than 7 years old, you can email me to share your challenges. I am inviting parents with tweens (8-12 years old) into my tweens community (beta).
Yes! If it doesn’t work, I will never put it out. I have personally tried it, my students in the past 10 runs of the course have tried it and we’ve seen transformations in our children. However, you have to invest your time in learning, intentionally applying the tips, and work on self-regulation (which I’ll share a lot in this course!)
This course is not a quick-fix solution because we are dealing with humans, not machines. Our children go through developmental changes at different phases of their growth, some tools may work today but not the following week because your child may be experiencing a peak in his separation anxiety, for example.
This course promises you a perspective change, that you will yell less and connect more with your children. You will learn how to respond to problematic behaviours with compassion and limits, gain cooperation from your children, and enjoy every moment of parenting!
I sincerely hope that you will benefit from this course, so I am giving a 14 days money back guarantee! If you don’t find it working after 2 weeks into the course, let me know and I will offer you a full refund, upon showing evidence that you have attended the trainings and done the work. Its 100% risk free!
Yes! You can do this in two ways:
1. When checking out, you can enter their information and email address. 2. Email us at [email protected] and we will guide you along.
Some parents asked for more personalised coaching so this time round, we are offering a few slots for that. We will email you the calendar link to book 4 x 30 minutes slots so that I can chat with you over Google Meet to create a personalised plan and coaching.
When you learn from the training videos and get tailored advice, you can better manage your triggers and see transformations faster.
Note that the booking for personalised coaching begins from 1 May 2023.
