You don’t need to be a perfect parent. You need to be a present one.

In a world that’s moving faster, getting louder, and feeling lonelier, raising resilient kids isn’t about control, perfection, or performance. It’s about connection. It’s about modeling self-awareness, emotional courage, and the ability to bounce back when life gets hard. And the good news? These are teachable, powerful skills.

The Parenting Lab is not a rulebook. It’s a reset.

Over three transformational weeks, you’ll reimagine what parenting looks like in today’s world—backed by science, grounded in reflection, and built to help you raise children who are strong, self-assured, and deeply connected to who they are. Each session offers simple, evidence-based strategies you can use immediately to help your child (and yourself) thrive.

We strongly encourage bringing a notebook to each lab session to help you develop a personalized parenting plan.


Curriculum

Week One: Rooted – Parenting with Identity, Purpose, and Presence

Great parenting doesn’t begin with your child—it begins with you. This opening week invites you to look inward and reconnect with your own values, strengths, and beliefs. You’ll begin the essential work of “reparenting”—healing patterns, challenging outdated scripts, and designing a parenting model that reflects who you truly are.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn how self-awareness, confidence, and purpose form the backbone of resilience and foundation to real happiness.
  • Understand how to identify your child’s unique strengths and talents—and how to nurture their sense of identity.
  • Separate your identity from your child’s so you can celebrate what makes each of you distinct.
  • Clarify your core values, model them to your child and learn simple yet powerful ways to build integrity.
  • Shift from “perfect parent” mode into an adaptive framework that prioritizes thriving over performing.


Week Two: Connected – Nurturing Emotional Strength in a Disconnected World

In today’s digitally driven, anxiety-saturated culture, connection is more critical than ever. This week centers on emotional intelligence, social competence, and the critical role of empathy in child development. You’ll explore how loneliness and tech-driven isolation affect your child’s (and your own) mental health — and learn how to intentionally cultivate connection and community.

Key Takeaways:

  • Discover why empathy and emotional intelligence (EQ) are foundational to future success—and how to nurture both at home.
  • Learn how to help kids build social competence and resilience in the face of screen saturation.
  • Explore how disconnection and anxiety are shaping behavior, and what parents can do to respond (not react) to counteract it.
  • Learn strategies to help kids (and you) develop coping mechanisms that reduce stress and increase emotional safety.
  • Begin building a family culture of co-regulation, where kids feel seen, heard, and empowered to connect.


Week Three: Rising – Cultivating Grit, Agency, and the Courage to Try Again

Resilience isn’t just a trait — it’s a set of learned skills. This final week dives into how to raise “bounce-back kids” with the confidence and adaptability to face life’s inevitable challenges. Through curiosity, problem-solving, and strategic failure, children (and their parents) develop grit. You'll learn how to let go, when to step back, and how to cultivate the agency your child needs to thrive.

Key Takeaways:

  • Teach perseverance through real-world practice—not rescue.
  • Instill an entrepreneurial mindset: how to pivot, problem-solve, and bounce forward.
  • Learn to recognize when to offer support and when to step back so your child can grow.
  • Cultivate agency and self-efficacy—the essential ingredients of authentic resilience.
  • Introduce optimism-building tools to help your child (and yourself) find strength and possibility in hard moments.
