Stop Second-Guessing Every Limit You Set

Are you dealing with bedtime power struggles that leave everyone exhausted? Do morning routines end in rushing and yelling? Are sibling conflicts driving you up the wall?
You've been wondering what consequence to give. You've been stuck between being too permissive and too strict.

​​​​​​​You've tried to stay calm but ended up snapping anyway.

This workshop gives you a clear framework so you know when to set a limit, hold to it, and what to do when your child pushes back - and you'll practice it with Jen and other parents alongside you. The tools are flexible enough to use with both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, so you can adapt them to your family, instead of forcing your child into a one-size-fits-all approach. 

Here's what's included:

check_circle
Eight short modules (10 minutes each), delivered by email over 10 weekdays
Make real progress in small pockets of time - without needing a quiet hour or a perfect schedule.
check_circle
Three 90-minute group coaching calls with Jen (April 28th/30th & May 6, 11am or 5pm Pacific - choose whichever time you prefer)
Get help with your actual challenges - not just generic advice, and fit it around naps, work, and family life.
check_circle
 
Practical homework activities that work with your real-life challenges
 
You're not adding more; you're making strategic changes that actually work for you and child's unique temperament and needs.
check_circle
 
Tools you can use right away for morning routines, mealtimes, bedtime, and sibling conflicts
 
See shifts in the hardest parts of your day quickly, which gives you the confidence to keep going
check_circle
 
Continued access to the workshop materials after the live round ends
 
Revisit the lessons whenever a new stage or challenge pops up, instead of hoping you remember everything

What Parents Are Saying,
Before & After the Workshop...

sentiment_dissatisfied
 BEFORE
 
My son often tells me that he's grumpy and just feels "grrr!".  I want to help him snap out of it...but I also want to just let him be him.

He's always been my koala child; separating from me has been extremely difficult for him, so I haven't pushed it yet.
favorite
AFTER
I found the workshop hugely beneficial. Thank you. Now I feel more empowered to set personal boundaries and more confident about setting as few limits as possible.

The combination of modules and coaching calls was a really useful way for me to process the information. I also found the fact that I could do the whole thing as audio recordings very practical. I would recommend the full workshop (including the coaching calls) to anyone interested in attuned child interactions.

sentiment_dissatisfied
BEFORE
My relationship with my partner often shifts based on how difficult of a time we're having with our 2-year old son. If he's cooperating and happy, we're good!  If he's whining and having a hard time with everything, we try our best with him, but then we snap at each other.

Sometimes I spiral into a series of triggers not just from our son's difficult behavior, but from how I see my husband trying to placate him instead of setting what I deem should be a limit.
favorite
AFTER
It's been easier than I thought to set boundaries. I'm actually surprised at how easy it was for me to respond calmly to all his dissatisfaction.

He accepted my boundaries every time - he only threw a tantrum once and even that was short (and not nearly as triggering to me as his tantrums usually are).

I'm feeling a lot less anxious as well!

BEFORE
Jen's guidance was such a gift in another course I took with her recently!  I enrolled in the Setting Limits Workshop because I'm curious about the content of setting limits in a loving way in order to further elevate myself as a parent. I'm continuously seeking to improve myself in all aspects of life, especially parenting.
favorite
AFTER
I feel significantly more confident as a parent: more calm and centered. I have more empathy and patience for my children for sure.

I've noticed that both of my children are genuinely more at ease as well.

I'm so grateful for Jen's work, from which I've gained so much valuable knowledge, put it into practice, and been able to set a more peaceful tone in my household.
 - Lucy W.
 
What's different
​​​​​​​about joining now?
You can take this workshop on your own any time. But when you join the April 27–May 6 session, you get extra support that makes it much easier to actually use the tools: 
Real-time guidance from Jen 
Bring the specific situations that are stuck - like “won’t get dressed,” “argues about everything,” or “falls apart at bedtime.” Get practical ideas for what to try next - even if your child has big feelings, a sensitive nervous system, or is neurodivergent. 
 Built-in structure and gentle accountability  
Daily emails and three calls over two weeks keep the workshop moving forward, even when your days are full. 
Learning alongside other parents 
Hear how families with different kids, cultures, and neurotypes are applying the same tools, so you can adapt them to your own context without thinking you’re doing it “wrong.”

Hosted by:

Jen Lumanlan M.S., M.Ed.

Creator of Your Parenting Mojo


Jen hosts the Your Parenting Mojo podcast, which has been downloaded almost 4 million times and was named Best Research-Based Parenting Podcast by Lifehacker. Her work has been featured in media with national and international reach and her book, Parenting Beyond Power: How to Use Connection and Collaboration to Transform Your Family - and the World has a 5 star rating on Amazon.

Jen has a deep passion for supporting both parents and children. While conventional disciplinary tools can hurt children (which is why so many of us parents struggle to understand and meet our own needs), and Gentle Parenting can hurt parents (by prioritizing children's needs over their own), Jen helps parents uncover and use strategies that meet both parents' and children's needs.

The result is a more harmonious family life today, because we don't experience frustration, anger, or resentment when our own needs are met. And in the longer term, we will raise children who understand and can advocate for their own needs - while deeply respecting the needs of others as well.

Have questions? Here's what parents like you have asked before jumping into the workshop:

How much time will this take?

Compared to the value you'll get, the content won't take you long at all! If you can find 10-15 minutes each day to read/watch the module content, you'll see big benefits.

You'll also have some homework activities that you can complete while you're doing other things, or they will actually help you to create time. For real!

How can I know this workshop will help?

I know you're struggling with your child's behavior right now, and it may already seem like you've tried everything. I know it can feel scary to sign up for a workshop like this - because you might try one more thing and find that it doesn't work either.

We don't talk about shame much in our culture, but we can certainly feel it when we try something and fail, and think that maybe we're the problem and fixing that seems overwhelming.

But I can promise you that if you show up for the workshop, we will show up for you. We'll answer your questions; we'll cheer you on when things go well; we'll help you adjust course when things don't go the way you expect. We will do everything we can to help you succeed, and we've yet to meet someone who did show up and didn't see significant progress.

Do I have to be online at a certain time?

You can do the emailed module content anytime you like. The 90-minute group coaching calls are held at 11am and 5pm Pacific. If you can't attend live, you can submit your question to be answered and catch the replay later.

Will this teach me what consequences to use?

Yes. You'll learn the difference between consequences that make sense and punishments that backfire.
But you'll also discover something even more valuable: when you understand what's driving your child's behavior, you can choose responses that address the real issue - which means you'll need fewer consequences overall, and the ones you do use will be more effective.

Is this just another gentle parenting approach?

Not at all. This workshop teaches you how to set clear, effective limits. Your needs matter just as much as your child's. The difference is you'll learn to set limits in ways that get cooperation instead of triggering more resistance - and you'll understand why some limits work while others lead to power struggles.

Ready to Stop Repeating Yourself?

You'll walk away with:
  • Clear guidance on when to set limits and when to let something go
  • Practical strategies for consequences that make sense
  • A framework for getting cooperation instead of resistance
  • An better understanding of what's really happening when your child pushes back
  • Tools you can use right away for mornings, mealtimes, bedtime, and sibling conflicts - and every other challenge you're facing
