Discipline can feel so overwhelming – even the word has a bad reputation nowadays.

But many of us feel stuck, constantly questioning whether we’re being too harsh or too soft. Maybe you’ve tried gentle parenting, but now your child doesn’t listen and is still having tantrums beyond their age. Maybe timeouts feel wrong, but you don’t know what to do instead.

A lot of advice on social media tells you what not to do, but almost nothing tells you what actually works. (And no, I’m not just talking about validating their feelings – that’s rarely enough for most kids!)

Here’s what most parents don’t realize: Science has clear, proven strategies for discipline. Decades of research show us concrete tools that can improve negative behaviors and create a more balanced dynamic in your family.

In this workshop, I’ll share 5 research-backed discipline tools, the science behind them, and real-world examples of how to apply them—so you can start using them immediately, without yelling, guilt, or power struggles.

They are tools I myself successfully use on two very different children, both of whom could be described as very strong-willed and persistent 😉

📌 This Workshop Is for You If…

✅ You have some techniques that work well but there are moments in your day when your child just won’t cooperate, no matter how much patience or reasoning you try. You’re not sure what to say or do, and it’s exhausting.

✅ You’ve tried emotional validation, but it’s not enough- your child still pushes boundaries, and you’re unsure if or how to teach real consequences.

✅ You don’t want to rely on punishments, yelling, or bribes, but you need something that actually works.

✅ You believe in authoritative parenting – balancing warmth, structure, and firm limits- but struggle to put it into practice.

✅ You want science-backed discipline tools, not just vague advice, so you can confidently set boundaries, knowing that decades of research support the methods used.

This live event is on April 12 at 10am EST. After the presentation, I’ll apply the new techniques to your pre-submitted questions and you will get the chance to ask a few more. The workshop runs about 75 minutes.

Hi, I am Violeta. I’m a mom of two and a science communicator with over a decade of experience in communicating science to policymakers, the public, and governments.

I believe that knowledge is power and that our children deserve to benefit from decades of research benefitting their physical and emotional health & wellbeing!

That’s why I believe that the latest findings in child development and parenting sciences should be available to everyone! If you believe this too, then you’re in the right place.
