The things we've learned through the Foundations Course is PRICELESS. The lessons in this course have the power to change the world one home at a time. What an amazing gift to have prayed so hard for God to show us the way, and to have come across FSF & the Foundations Course, so we can now actually CHOOSE the way we want to parent, to have information, to have knowledge, and not just the ONE WAY that parenting has been done for generations.

Thank you Fresh Start Family for introducing us to the Foundations Course! It has been freeing to be at choice with our parenting, to be on the same page, to bring more light and joy to intense power struggles, and to see progress in each day! Our son is learning ways to self calm, re-do, and use his energy for good. We are learning new ways to be proactive, make agreements, give more choices and teach in a calm time. Expanding our toolkit has been transformational for our family.

I just finished up the Foundations course and WOW where to begin! Without a doubt our biggest struggle has been bedtime with our 3.5 year old. I am so thankful for the approach Wendy laid out. I was amazed that in a few short days of using some of Wendy’s suggestions bedtime was so much easier!
It is refreshing to feel like you’re giving your kids the tools they need to think for themselves and make good decisions. I see myself coming back to the lessons over and over again and I whole hardheartedly recommend the Foundations Course to every family!

Jessica Filpi

We absolutely loved the Fresh Start Parenting class with Wendy! It has helped us to parent our two boys the way we want to – with grace, understanding, communication and love. And rather than simply looking at how to make them do what we want right now (behavior modification), we now view our role as parents with more of an eternal perspective. It is more about building a relationship. We NEED courses like this to help us along in this crazy parenting journey! I would HIGHLY recommend this class!

Leslie Thompson

At first the tools seemed difficult, but with a little practice it became so easy and created more joy and trust between me and my children. I would definitely recommend Wendy and Fresh Start Family to other families, it has changed our outlook and our lives. I am definitely a more compassionate parent.

Melissa Wall

Fresh Start Family has made me see my kids more as my equals and as a result they are more cooperative. For example, instead of my daughter being angry with me for punishing her, she seems to reflect more on what she can do different next time. I wholeheartedly recommend these courses to anyone who has or cares for children. The resources given are unparalleled.

Jodi McCormick

I used to fear picking my kids up from daycare/pre-school just knowing what was ahead. Now my perspective has changed tremendously and I can’t speak highly enough about Wendy and Fresh Start Family courses. It not only saved our family, but strengthened the relationship with my husband which was an added bonus! Our entire family is beginning to gain such strong trust and respect for one another and I feel more empowered than ever.

Kate Burchfield

My biggest takeaway from Fresh Start Family classes was the notion of being equipped with a tool belt. If one tool doesn’t work, you can try another and see what works best for your family. I have recommended Fresh Start Family to a number of friends. This is time well spent. It will only benefit your family.

THE COURSE IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You feel overwhelmed by how tough parenting really is
  • You need encouraging motivation to prioritize your family
  • You want to tackle misbehavior and disconnection head on
  • You like doing things on your own time
  • You’re open to trying new things because let’s face it, some of the things you’re doing right now as a parent, just aren’t giving you the results you desire.

IT’S NOT FOR YOU IF:

  • You’re home is completely peaceful and cooperative
  • You don’t struggle with misbehavior or confidence in your parenting strategies
  • You’re already feeling calm, patient and connected with your kids
  • You’re looking for specific, just-for-you advice from Wendy

I’m new to Positive Parenting. Will this course work for me?
Everyone is welcome here! If you’re brand new to Positive Parenting, this course is perfect for you!
Does the course work for families with kids of all ages?
Absolutely. A lot of this curriculum is theory based, meaning the methodology will apply to all stages of life. Extra support regarding application of strategies to different life stages can be found in The Bonfire.
Can I really expect to see results by applying the strategies?
YES, families…this stuff works! Trust me, learn the methods, apply the strategies, try again when it doesn’t go perfectly and have faith in the seeds you’re planting. I only teach methods that I’ve personally tried in my own home with my own kids, so I know what I’m teaching you works and you can always trust me to be real with you .
I’m really busy, do you think I’ll be able to do all the lessons?
Commit to it and make it happen! I’ve designed this course to be comprehensive, yet also as brief as possible, so you can get the course done in minimal time. One module a week (3 hours) for four weeks is what I recommend you aim for.
I have a very poor internet connection, will this be a problem?
Not at all! One thing that sets this program apart is that you can download and save the workouts to your own device. So as long as you have internet access one time (maybe at a local coffee shop or library), you can download the lessons and then view them without needing to be connected to the internet.
Does this program have a start and end date?
Nope. This is a course that you purchase and can use on your own, anytime. You will always have access to the program so when a new stage of your kiddo’s life turns challenging or when parenting throws you another curve ball – you’ll have an easy-to-follow course at your fingertips.
Why would I choose this program over another?
I created this program because I know families are BUSY and that finding time to get to a local, in person class is tough. I’m a real, down to earth Mom, who happens to be VERY passionate about this work and have dedicated my career to helping families just like yours transform their parenting journey for the better. You can relate to me on every level and I’m very honest with my own struggles & wins.
