The Grounded Parent
A 10-week course in conscious, connected parenting
Facilitated by Jenna Corriveau, MSW, Jai-Certified Parent Coach Curriculum developed by the Jai Institute for Parenting — the world's leader in parenting coach certification
parenting books give you information. this gives you transformation.
The Grounded Parent is a 10-week small group coaching experience for parents who are ready to look beneath behavior — at the patterns, histories, and nervous system responses that shape how we show up with our children. it combines the Jai Institute's research-backed curriculum with weekly live sessions, real-time support, and a carefully held group container of no more than 6 participants.
this is not a behavior management system. it's inside-out work — the kind that actually sticks.
what you'll move through:
week 1 — welcome & setting your intentions before tools or frameworks, we start with you. who do you want to be as a parent? what are you ready to look at? what does your family actually need from you right now?
week 2 — the 10 pillars of transformational parenting a clear map for what conscious, connected parenting looks like — your compass for everything that follows.
week 3 — attachment science what attachment actually is, how it shapes your child's behavior, and how your own attachment history shows up in your parenting today.
week 4 — nervous system science why co-regulation has to start with you — and what to do before you respond.
week 5 — mindsight and brain science what's happening in your child's brain during big moments, and how that understanding changes everything about how you respond.
week 6 — emotional intelligence building a family culture where emotions are information, not problems to suppress or manage away.
week 7 — empowered conversations language that connects rather than escalates. How to talk so your child can hear, and listen so your child will talk.
week 8 — boundaries from family values not rules handed down from above — a shared philosophy your whole household can understand and live from.
week 9 — anger and healthy aggression how to work with intensity — yours and your child's — rather than shutting it down or being swept away by it.
week 10 — your personal transformation where you started, where you are now, and how to carry this forward. a closing that honors the real work you've done.

a note on the work:
the early weeks of this course ask you to look at how you were parented — not to assign blame, but because we can't shift patterns we haven't seen. some of what surfaces may be unexpected. that's not a sign something is wrong. it's a sign the work is working.
because of this, every participant begins with a brief 20-minute intake conversation before the course starts. this is how i make sure i can support you well from day one — and how you can make sure the group format is the right fit before you commit.
