From Yelling To Connecting
A research-backed, positive parenting online course to empower you with knowledge and actionable strategies so that you can build a trusting relationship with your child without yelling and punishing.
Registration opens from
17th - 24th APRIL 2023 only!
No more yelling and punishing!
This course is for parents who are
of yelling, threatening or punishing their strong-willed and sensitive children when trying to get them to cooperate.
for screaming at their attention-seeking children after a long day at work.
to build strong relationships with their children from young, and raise empathetic, emotionally intelligent problem solvers.
"I don't flare up so much after understanding my child."
"2 weeks of covid isolation and I barely yelled at my children."
By the end of the course...
Equip yourself with parenting knowledge that is backed by decades of neuroscience and behavioural-science research.
Gain the confidence to handle your child's tricky behaviours and emotional outbursts.
Learn strategies on how to manage your emotions.
Start empowering yourself and be an informed and confident parent.
We are all wonderful parents, until our children start pushing our buttons. You just can't stop yelling at your children who drive you up the wall. You get mad at them, you get mad at yourself, you feel frustrated and guilty EVERY SINGLE DAY.
What if you can navigate your parenthood journey with calmness and patience?
What if you know exactly why your child "misbehaves" and you are able to nip the problem in the bud?
You can then model self-control and empathy to build a trusting relationship with your child!
"We are now happy as a family because we are parenting on the same page."
"We are able to remind one another when we act out...my son's teacher commented that he is emotionally secured compared to his peers. Hearing that makes me feel very assured, we must be doing something right."
Daddy Stanley and Mummy Antoinette
"I used to be a hot tempered person"
I used to be a hot tempered person. I get triggered rather easily. After the course, I learnt to stop shouting, and my thoughts, words and decisions have positively impacted my family – there is less tension, and my home is more harmonious. It’s been months since I stopped yelling at my daughter!
Can’t be more grateful to you, Jacinth. Thanks for imparting these valuable skills to us, you have made our lives so much easier!"
Daddy Francis
"There is practically zero yelling!"
I am soo SOOOOO thankful that I took your course!!! It really put me in good stead to handle my 2 year old! These days there is practically zero yelling. I have a mostly peaceful house with a high energy toddler running around. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

3) Learn questioning techniques so that you can teach your children to problem solve and make good choices
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!
"My husband, and even my helper, started to use some of the words you taught..."
"Learning about the brain development really helped to shift my mindset immediately and somehow I found it so much easier to keep calm when my child was dealing with big emotions.
The practical examples and sharing of how to resolve situations within the community was very helpful, for ideas on practical steps to take, as well as knowing that I'm not the only one going through this struggle.
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."
"I am now better able to understand my grandson's behaviours, and I try to understand myself...I used to yell when my grandson throws tantrums, now I know how to pause."
- Nor Anne
Grandmother of toddler boy
"Change is tough but it can happen."
"If you are thinking if the course is for you, take the first step to believe in yourself, change is tough but it can happen.
I've seen that in my own parents, especially my dad and my mom I mean given their ages, they're still able to make small changes and that's applaudable! The community and Jacinth's dedication in answering our questions is something invaluable and I hope we can build the next generation of happy kids, happy caregivers."
Mummy Lael
"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 haven’t start yelling at my children and I do not want to. 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 (reading various books & journals).
That day, my 2yo boy 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
"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 have found better ways to cope with it.
We couldn't have done it without your help, and I am glad to have found your Instagram page and your course, and I will definitely continue as a Sprout member!"
Mummy Pei Ying
"My children are more cooperative when I needed them to complete certain tasks."
After attending the course, I am more aware and mindful about my own triggers, knowing that it is okay for children to cry and let out their emotions because they feel safe with me around.
As time goes by, I feel that my relationship with my children gets closer and also they are more cooperative when I needed them to do or complete certain tasks.
Mummy Claryn
"My 2.5yo can express himself with words and show us different facial expressions."
We talked to him alot everyday and sometimes he talks/replies to us in an adult way as well. We always mindful about the words we use in the daily conversations, we label our own feelings to him. Now he is able to express his happy, sad and angry feelings by telling us with face expressions too

"As children develop, their brains "mirror" their parent's brain. In other words, the parent's own growth and development, or lack of those, impact the child's brain.
As parents become more aware and emotionally healthy, their children reap the rewards and move toward health as well."
— Daniel J. Siegel

Meet your teacher!
Founder, Our Little Play Nest and Our Little Play Academy
PGDE (DIST), B.SC. (HONS.)
I am a parenting coach, ex-secondary school teacher, textbook co-author, and a mom to two kids (aged 9yo and 7yo). I am also the founder of Our Little Play Nest and Our Little Play Academy.
Marrying my decade-long of teaching knowledge and parenting experiences, I empower parents to communicate and connect meaningfully with their children through research-backed, positive parenting strategies. I share bite-sized, parenting tips with parents via emails, blog posts, Instagram, Facebook, in-person workshops, online course From Yelling to Connecting and parenting membership Sprout.
Over at Our Little Play Academy, I equip parents with research-backed strategies to cultivate their children's interest in Math through daily conversations and fun activities.
I have collaborated and conducted workshops for DBS, Kids Clinic, Autodesk, Finexis, Fragomen, NTU, Rochester Mall, the LEGO group, The Asian Parent, AIA etc and have been featured in Straits Times Singapore, Lian He Zao Bao and Sg Tatler.
9 years ago when I became a mom, I was mostly depressed in the first two years. I struggled because I felt so lost.
Daryl was a difficult toddler. He was strong-willed (still is!) and I had almost zero control over his behaviours.
I yelled and threatened because I didn’t know how else to manage his defiance and meltdowns. Until I decided that I need 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.
When I focus on connecting with my kids, it is so much easier to gain cooperation from them without having to scream, shame, blame or punish them! As I role model patience and calmness, my children mirror me and learn to regulate their emotions - which is an important skill to have.
Don't get me wrong, my kids still argue and have meltdowns - but I now know how to manage them with my toolkit of strategies and tips. I dare say that the whole family is happier, has less tension, and is more harmonious.
Hear from my students on how their lives were transformed...
"After attending the course, I find myself able to understand my child better and why she is reacting negatively when we try to correct her behaviour. I learned to be more conscious of myself and was able to stay calm before communicating with my child. 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
"Hi Jacinth, u asked, what is the greatest achievement in 2020. I would say having u being the pillar to our parenting journey. Not only u changed my life you have also changed my husband. He used get angry with Jovan 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
I want to stop yelling and start connecting with my child!
(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 several practical tips, tell you the exact words to say, the tone to use, how to troubleshoot when the strategy doesn’t work. I will teach you what to avoid, what not to say or do.
The most valuable part of this course is the LIVE 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.
My teaching experience with secondary school children (age 13-17 years) has given me valuable insights on how parental support during a child's early years makes a huge difference in both behavioural and academic outcomes of the child.
Yes! If it doesn’t work, I will never put it out. I have personally tried it, my students in my previous workshops 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! When checking out, you can enter their information and email address. Or after purchasing, please send an email to [email protected] and we will give them access to the course.
