Parenting isn’t easy.

What’s more, the traditional punishment strategies our parents used were never that effective in the first place.

The world is changing, and that means we need new strategies to parent our children today—especially when it comes to turning misbehaviors around.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, constantly at odds with your child, or guilty after every time-out or argument, you’re not alone. But there is a better way, rooted in the science of behavior, to help you replace old-school punishment with effective discipline techniques that help children thrive in a confusing modern world.

Parent Coach Sarah Salisott, founder of Salisott PCC, understands the challenges of parenting in the moment and approaches an often emotional topic with humor, compassion, and plenty of personal experience.

Parenting with Purpose is designed to help you understand the root causes of behavior so you can guide your children instead of battling them.


Understanding the Difference Between Punishment and Discipline

In Parenting with Purpose, you’ll explore the science of behavior and understand why traditional punishment doesn’t work and how to model the behavior you want to see while redirecting your children away from misbehavior.


The Connection Between Self-Awareness and Deeper Connection

When you break down your responses to your child’s specific behaviors, you can start to recognize the triggers that put you at odds with one another and work in the moment to change your reaction and help your child through their emotions and reactions.

Traditional punishment strategies just don’t work—and they never did. If you’re tired of constant conflicts—yelling, time-outs, and guilt, we can show you a better way. 


Join Parenting with Purpose to learn about the science of behavior and how to replace old-school punishment with effective discipline techniques that help your children grow.

And if you’re able, you may choose to pay more than the community supported rate to help offset access for families who can’t.
