Real communication is more than just words—it’s how we connect, understand, and express ourselves in every aspect of life. It shapes our relationships and how we engage with the world.
When we take a holistic approach to communication—recognizing that individual tools and strategies are interconnected and build on one another—teachable moments naturally open up in everyday life. This course helps you make the most of those moments and shows you how to create an environment where your child feels safe and supported as they learn and practice essential communication skills, enabling them to navigate both their inner world and interactions with others.
In this course, you’ll learn step-by-step how to help your child become a confident, skilled communicator. You’ll discover how to guide them in building self-awareness, managing emotions, and mastering essential conversation skills to navigate both everyday situations and life’s tougher challenges.

Meet Your Trainer
Lora Brawley
I’m passionate about empowering parents and nannies to teach children the essential communication skills that foster high emotional intelligence and emotional and mental well-being. As a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, certified family mediator, communications trainer, and conflict coach, I offer a unique blend of user-friendly tools, common-sense strategies, and intuitive guidance to students. I’m all about connection, teachable moments, a growth mindset, child-focused positive communication and conflict resolution skills, and the fundamental idea that behavior missteps are just kids (and adults!) trying to get their needs met.
This course sets you up for success, no matter where you or your child is starting from.
You don’t need to be a master communicator to teach these skills to kids. The good news is, you learn as you teach, making us better parents and caregivers along the way.
Creating the right framework for your kids can seem like an overwhelming task. That’s why I break it down into small, workable steps that build on each other and become part of your everyday life.
It’s never too early to start building the foundation for strong communication skills. Kids as young as two can begin developing these skills, however the window of learning never closes. Older kids can learn communication skills just as well. In this course, you’ll learn how to guide and support your child, no what their age.
This course includes:
Lifetime access. No pressure to meet any deadlines. You can watch or review the sessions at any time.
5 live classes from January through May 2025. We’ll meet on the 1st Sunday of the month at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET.
You have the option of attended all, some, or none of the live classes. All classes will be recorded.
Bite-sized sessions outlining individual tools and strategies. You can go directly to the information you need when you’re working through a particular challenge.
Support through a private online discussion group, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, brainstorm ideas, walk through insights, and practice scripting conversations.
All for $349! This is one of those courses you’ll come back to over and over again as kids move through different stages and face different challenges.
