Learn More About Action Parenting

The mission of Action Parenting is to provide parenting tools that will bring more peace and help strengthen families. We believe that we are better parents when we are connected with others and have the tools and knowledge to show up well not just for our kids but for ourselves too.

That’s how we met. We both started attending a local Mom’s Group when our oldest kids were just a year old. Hungry for connection with other mothers, these weekly gatherings quickly became a safe place for us to celebrate our parenting highs and get support for our parenting lows. As our kids have grown, our need for our community has not changed! We continue to gather, brew a pot of tea, share the highs and lows of life and parenting, and we invite you to do the same. 

Along the way, we both quickly realized that most other parents are longing for the same connection and support. Both in our professional and personal lives, we hear parents telling us they have struggle to find their community. But it’s more than just connection, parents also want to have the knowledge and parenting tools to parent our kids well.

Our professional journey’s have uniquely equipped us with knowledge, and we want to share that knowledgewith you.
