Anyone with a passion for becoming a better parent can facilitate a parenting class or workshop so long as he or she is willing to learn along with everyone else.
This is how Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott started their journeys as parent educators long before they had any degrees or had written any books. They did have children and they wanted to be better mothers. (
Read their stories here.) We all know that the best way to learn is to teach what you want to know. You do not need to be a “professional” anything. However therapists, social workers, teachers, and others who love working with children can also be parent educators.
You have some advantages not available when Jane and Lynn started. They have written many books on Positive Discipline and have created a parent educator training program that can give you a head start. To become a Positive Discipline Parent Educator, you have many choices. You can take a two-day workshop called
Teaching Parenting the Positive Discipline Way. Or you can order the
home study course. Whether you decide to attent a two day workshop or use the home study course, you will learn how to get into the childs world so you can understand what they are thinking, feeling, and deciding based on their discipline experience.
