Basically, there are three types of parents:
- Those who haven’t had parenting problems yet.
- Those who have found or learned effective skills that solved their parenting problems.
- Frustrated parents (not necessarily first-time parents) who are seeking advice on how to solve their problems.
If you’re of the first type, bookmark this post because you are likely to use it someday. All parents encounter problems from time to time.
For parents falling into the second bracket, you must count yourself as lucky, and please leave a comment and share your experiences to enlighten others on your epic parenting!
For the last type of parents, breathe easy – you’re in the right place.
Ok, so really there’s just one kind of parent – everyone encounters problems from time to time, but there are ways to solve your parenting headaches.
Whatever age your kids are and whatever the issues you’re having, you will benefit from learning some effective skills and techniques to help you keep your cool in challenging situations.
Let me introduce you to Positive Parenting Solutions (PPS), a fantastic online parenting class.

Why I’m So Assured about the Course?
Kids can be a challenge. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that.
Whether it’s toddlers in the ‘troublesome twos’ who won’t go to bed, kids who are addicted to their personal devices, or teens who have suddenly decided to cease all communication with the mothership.
Parenting woes are pretty much ongoing until your little angels are all grown up (and, possibly, have little ‘angels’ of their own, thereby making them realize what little horrors they were).
- I’m a bronze member (thanks to my good kids who don’t cause me too much trouble), and have applied some of the tips received from email. The result has been amazing.
- One of my gals, who was way more miserable about their parenting situation than me, subscribed to Gold membership, and her feedback has been quite positive.
- Endorsed by CNN, The New York Times, ABC News and CBS This Morning, it’s clear that even the professionals are getting behind Amy and her parenting course.
Who’s Amy and What’s PPS?
Positive Parenting Solutions was set up by Amy McCready, who was previously a trainer and senior manager for Fortune 500 companies.
Based on her own parenting experiences, Amy researched Adlerian psychology and positive discipline, and implemented the skills she learnt with her own kids.
Finding an astonishing transformation, Amy put together the PPS course to share her knowledge with other desperate parents.
A parenting contributor for the Daily Show, endorsed by over 75,000 families and the author of two best-selling books, there’s little doubt that Amy knows what she’s talking about!
Her course is focused on helping you become the parent you want to be – not the parent who loses their temper, not the parent who resorts to the same old discipline system, but the parents who is in control and uses methods that have been proven to work.
In case you asked: these books are not included in the online course and would need to be purchased separately. They are good companions to the course, but the course is much more in-depth.
Conquering power struggles at their core is one of the first things you’ll need to grasp to reach your goals.
The course is an all-inclusive roadmap that covers everything from toddlers to teens, and her handy toolbox offers solutions for a variety of issues you may be facing.
Following these classes will help you to bring out the best in your kids, as well as enable you to be the best parent you can.

One of the best features of the PPS is the Parent Personality Assessment, which helps you keep track of your personal behaviors and mindset throughout the course.
It may be the case that certain behaviors displayed by you are actually what is triggering poor reactions from your kids.
Don’t worry – all parents have moments like this. The main thing is identifying bad habits and negative influences, and getting into the routine of acting, talking and responding mindfully.
Advanced modules are available of topics such as ADHD 101, Sibling Bullying, Mealtime Battles, Potty Training 101 and Homework Hassles, so whatever unique problems you are currently facing with your kids, you’ll be able to home in on specific skills you can learn to tackle these issues proactively.
Other Great Features of the Course
Refined modules
Most of the basic videos are between five and fifteen minutes long, so it won’t take up loads of your time when you want to get stuck in with the basics.
Advanced support
If you’re looking at advanced specialist modules and feel like you really need more support with something, the videos last from 60 to 90 minutes, and go into lots of detail. You won’t be left wanting for information on the advanced topics.
Lifetime access
Signing up to the course gives you lifetime access, so if you’re looking at topics like Teens and Tweens and thinking ‘This isn’t useful for parenting my 5-year-old’, don’t worry – the course will still be there for you to access when it is relevant for you and your family life.
Online and offline
The course is 100% online, with optional printable materials. Review materials on the go, or from the comfort of your computer room at home. Check out the course online, or download whatever you like to view when you don’t have Wi-Fi. There’s also a mobile app available to some memberships.
Take your time
There’s also no timeline or deadline – the course is self-paced and you can take it at your own speed.
Getting a Taster
If the PPS course sounds good to you but you’d like to have a sample before you buy, there are freebies online that you can check out before you make the commitment to membership.
Sign up to a free webinar where you’ll get some basic information from Amy about the course and learn some coping strategies for troublesome situations.
The webinar presentation lasts for one hour, and then there is an opportunity for Q&A for around 20-30 minutes afterwards.
This live session enables you to pitch your question directly to Amy and see feedback in real-time.
This online class happens regularly and once you’ve chosen to sign up, you can pick a date and time from the list that fits in with you.
The webinar is pitched at parents who have kids aged between 2.5 and 15-years-old, and who might have moments where they are misbehaved, acting out, hyper, not listening, disobeying
Or perhaps they’re well-behaved most of the time but have their challenging moments.
In the webinar, Amy will cover the following topics:
- Reasons why kids misbehave
- What’s wrong with ‘time out’ punishments
- An introduction to consequences
- Power struggles, and what triggers misbehavior
You’ll also get a downloadable workbook and a document of tips when you sign up for the webinar, and all of this free with no obligation to join the full course.
Membership
There are three different membership options – Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Naturally, the more you pay and the higher level of membership you sign up for, the more materials and support you’ll receive.
All three memberships have a total payment which can be made in full at the beginning, or paid in monthly instalments over a year. Whichever level of membership you go for, the fee you pay is final – no hidden costs.

The Course
Whichever membership you decide to go for, the basic course is the same. You’ll get access to more than 37 “tools” to use when you need them, and can watch the 49 on-demand videos that make up the bulk of the course.
These videos are spread over seven sessions, which you can complete in your own time.
To keep you on track, you’ll also get handy hints sent directly to your email that can set you off thinking about something in a different way.
For example, this helpful nugget was included in one recent email, and has reminded me about a session I should take another look at:
Kids need to know it’s about doing the right thing, not getting prizes. Instead, encourage them and let them know you appreciate their efforts.
“It’s such a big help when you set the table.”
“I can tell you worked really hard to clean up the playroom!”
