The Science of Early Childhood Development has had major breakthroughs.
Why are we still taught outdated parenting techniques?
When a child is born, the mother and the father are born too.
Nothing in life prepares us for that great parenting journey.
Every day is brand new, full of joy and full of challenges.
We learn as we go.
Some say we don't need to read books; we don't need to inform ourselves. It is an instinct.
Just follow what your parents did.
When we copy our parents, when we act out of habits, we act upon the knowledge of child development that they had at the time.
Research has evolved. Now we know more about the child development than ever before.
Unfortunately, the parenting techniques we are taught haven’t caught up with the latest research.
Why are we still being taught outdated parenting techniques that are based on old knowledge of child development?
For example, why are we trying to convince our toddlers to share their toys in a playground when their brain development doesn't support such level of socialization?
Parenting starts with respect. We must forget the idea that children need to be controlled and that their spirit must be molded.
Let’s now integrate all we know about our children’s development into our parenting.
Let’s transition to a style of parenting that respects the child development stages and treats the child as an important individual.
Nowadays we have so much evidence-based information that we owe our children to learn about their development.
We must learn about the best parenting practices to become a better parent.
Who am I?
My name is Carine Robin.
I am a Child psychologist, a Montessori teacher and a yoga teacher for children.
I own a masters in psychology with a major in child psychology. I worked as a child psychologist in Belgium, my country of origin, for several years. I ran my private counselling practice and I worked for various social services, including a foster care agency.
In 2006 I left Belgium for Ireland where I worked in a daycare nursery. While on this job, I discovered the Montessori education.
I developed a passion for Montessori. I later decided to train as a Montessori teacher. I gained my diploma in 2009.
I worked as a Montessori teacher for 2 years in Ireland, before leaving for the United Kingdom where I currently reside.
After moving to the UK, I was able to secure a job as the manager and Montessori lead teacher for two years in a Montessori preschool.
I have been running my own parents and toddlers Montessori community for 8 years.
Apart from being a Montessori teacher and child psychologist, I am also a Yoga teacher for children.
And, most of all, I’m a mother of 2!
My parenting journey
With all my knowledge of child psychology, I discovered that I was still triggered by my children’s behaviour.
Sometimes it felt like my mum was shouting through me, but it wasn’t really me.
Like many of you, I was loved conditionally by my parents. They used rewards and punishments at home.
When we become a mum or dad, we will tend to replicate the way our parents raised us. It’s only natural.
The problem is: very few parents from their generations, if not any, were taught respectful parenting techniques.
A lot of disrespectful, misconceived and flat-out wrong discipline techniques survived through the dark ages of human history and were still mainstream and taught as the de-facto parenting techniques to our parents.
More depressingly, those antiquated discipline techniques made their way to our times and are still being taught today by some self-proclaimed parenting gurus.
Our parents didn’t know any better. We now owe our children to integrate and apply more respectful, gentle and caring discipline techniques.
It is important to understand that, as parents, we will never be perfect. Our parenting style will largely reflect our own parents child-rearing ways. Those were passed, unchallenged, from generation to generation.
It takes a conscious and repeated effort to change.
Parenting is a journey where we learn every day.
We will still have bad days, where we will lose our cool and act out of habit.
But once we have the right tools and the right parenting techniques, once we come from a place of respect for the child’s stage of development, it is way easier to reconnect with our child, even after we’ve slipped in autopilot.
My course will teach you all the latest gentle discipline techniques based on respectful parenting.

"This week's class and material completely blew my mind!"
"Right after the class me and my wife kept discussing how crazy it was not to say "well done" or "good boy" as we thought it was kind of cruel... But then the more we talked, the more we realized how conditional love was something we were raised with, and how it limits the child development."
Francesco.S
When I came into parenthood, I became a passionate advocate of children’s rights.
I trained with Sarah Ockwell Smith and ran local BabyCalm and ToddlerCalm sessions.
I devoured all the gentle and respectful parenting books.
I started to integrate into my parenting all the principles and techniques I learned, and all my knowledge about the different stages of a child’s development.
The result: a peaceful family!
My husband and I respect our children and treat them as individuals. They are full, complete members of our family. In return they are more respectful themselves, and we all are more connected.
Parenting is a journey and I learn everyday.

FAQ
Can I take this course if I live outside the UK?
Yes! This group is globally friendly. If you cannot attend the Facebook live session, every video is available for immediate replay.
I've had people from more than 10 countries taking this course.
How much time do I need to dedicate to this course?
There will be 3 short videos of 10 to 20 minutes to watch each week + a Q&A live session.
I will also encourage you to carry on some practical tasks and to try the tools and strategies explored in the course.
Since I will be there to guide you Live for 8 weeks, I will ask you to dedicate some time each week to the course. This will help you integrate your new parenting skills. You’ll become a better, more peaceful parent!
Your relationship with your children is precious. The early years can be chaotic and overwhelming.
Now is the time to foster a deep connection with your children!
I don’t have a Facebook account. Can I take this course?
Yes, the course is available to take at your own pace and can be accessed on this website.
I have chosen to keep a Facebook group in addition to the e-course. This year, 2022, I'm adding a whatsapp group.
I decided to use this platform as it allows for an easy interaction with all members of the group. It also allows me to broadcast live videos which members can follow up in real time.
I still don’t offer a standalone discipline e-course as I want to be there to guide you. There will be a weekly Live Q&A through Zoom (you can access it with your phone or computer). I will be available to answer your questions while you are taking this course.
A course that helps you to deal with your child’s emotions and behaviors as well as yours, must be offered, in my opinion, within a safe space and moderated by a guide (aka myself).
Some members have created a new private Facebook profile just for the sole purpose of this course.
The Live Q&A held on Zoom and will be uploaded in the member's area of this website.
I don’t have a Paypal account. Can I still pay for the course?
Yes! You don’t need to set up a Paypal account to checkout through Paypal. If you still experience difficulties, please contact me and I will arrange an alternative payment method.

I make sure my courses are affordable for the majority of parents. I understand that affordability will be understood differently by some parents.

I am happy to offer a free course for every 20 paid courses for low-income families. Please contact me for further details.
