Below shares the academy curriculum. There are 7 courses and 24 modules in total.

We will cover 4 big pillars in our curriculum, anchored by our proprietary 5Rs Roadmap for Positive Parenting.

Re-Parenting YOU!

This is the first ‘R’ you will learn from our 5R Roadmap!

A successful Positive Parenting journey starts with YOU!

Learn how to re-parent yourself by implementing our Rewiring Toolbox. Empower yourself with key strategies to help you regulate your own emotions and identify your parenting triggers.

Many a times, how you react and respond to your child is neither dependent on the situation nor the child’s actions and behaviours; it is often dependent on your emotions, mood and parenting triggers in that moment!

Managing Tantrums

In this big topic, we cover 2 ‘R’s from our proprietary Positive Parenting 5R roadmap:

‘R’ecognizing Big Feelings

‘R’econnecting before Correcting

Get insights into your child’s big feelings, and equip yourself with in-the-moment tools & strategies on how to manage her tantrums.

Ever wondered why there are times when you try to calm your child down, and it actually worsens her tantrums? You are not doing it wrong, you are just doing it at the wrong timing of her tantrum. You will learn about this and more in our module on Tantrum Arc!

Understand the power of attunement and how it helps you to reconnect with your child after a tantrum.

Learn how to create an emotionally safe environment at home for your child!

Rethinking Discipline

Here, you will learn about the 2 most important ‘R’s in the Positive Parenting 5R roadmap:

‘R’eframing Tricky Behaviors

‘R’ethinking Discipline

Understand why children test boundaries, and find out how to reframe tricky behaviours. Reframing is essential in how we view their behaviours and that in turn will change how we discipline the child. You will learn how Dreikurs’ 4 Goals of Misbehaviors and The Iceberg Theory explain your child’s behaviors.

Learn to carry out positive and effective discipline – note that discipline and punishment is absolutely different. Positive discipline is in line with positive parenting and by carrying out positive discipline correctly, you will never need to punish your child ever again!

Equip yourself with the secret recipe behind successful positive discipline!

Our P.E.A.C.E. Toolkit

Worried that you will forget how to carry out positive parenting, or you will bounce back to punitive methods after awhile? Get your hands on this all-in-one toolkit to help you stay consistent and strong to Positive Parenting.

Get coached on these 5 key strategies:

Strategy 1: ‘P’raising Effectively

Strategy 2: ‘E’mpower the Child

Strategy 3: ‘A’utonomy Within Limits

Strategy 4: ‘C’ommunicate Effectively

Strategy 5: ‘E’nding Short-Term Parenting

Learn tips to ensure you stay strong to positive parenting through the ages and stages that your child has to go through (yes, even through the teenaged years!).

This will stay with you for life!

Our academy is differentiated via 3 key points:

1. We are not just a positive parenting course or workshop, we are an ACADEMY!

Many positive parenting courses out there are structured as standalone courses. You will actually need to attend several standalone courses to gain enough expertise and insights on Positive Parenting.

Our academy is anchored around an in-depth Positive Parenting curriculum which comprises of 7 different courses (24 modules in total).

Essentially you are getting 7 Positive Parenting courses in 1! We want you to learn everything there is about Positive Parenting. The objective of having a more in-depth academy is to be able to better equip you with all related Positive Parenting knowledge to ensure that you can positively parent your children consistently and throughout the years beyond their early years!

2. Our Academy learning materials contain 2 key proprietary tools you will not get anywhere else – our 5R Roadmap and P.E.A.C.E. Toolkit!

These learning materials are also developed from scratch by a certified Positive Parenting Coach across 2 years of research.

3. Our academy is led by a certified Positive Parenting Coach with more than 5 years of experience.

Note that many positive parenting courses out there are not taught by certified Positive Parenting coaches.

Whilst positive parenting books provide really good information and knowledge about Positive Parenting, these are all theoretical and subjected to your interpretation as well.

There are many parents who have read Positive Parenting books but yet executed the strategies wrongly in real life.

Just like how people attend cooking classes to learn how to cook certain dishes successfully, our Positive Parenting academy aims to not only equip you with Positive Parenting knowledge and strategies, but also to teach you on how to apply those strategies in real life.

A cooking book can provide detailed step-by-step instructions on how to create a dish, but without an experienced chef next to you to guide you, a complicated dish can easily go wrong. It is the same with Positive Parenting books.

We believe that every parent should have access to good and effective parenting knowledge and strategies. And cost should not be a huge barrier in empowering you in this parenting journey.

We are also on a mission to raise as many children in Positive Parenting households as we can!

No, you do not need any knowledge before attending the academy.

Our academy will teach you everything you need to know about Positive Parenting, including all tactics and strategies.

If you are a parent-to-be or planning to become a parent, yes the academy is suitable for you!

Being equipped with Positive Parenting knowledge and strategies will help you become a Positive Parent from day zero!

Also, note that during subscription period, you will have full access to all academy videos, so you can refer back anytime you want to.

Our case studies and examples revolve around children aged 1.5 to 7 years old.

However, the same positive parenting concepts, tools and strategies can be applied even to older children. A lot of the modules in our academy are focused on managing children’s feelings, communicating with them, empowering them and carrying out positive discipline with the children. These are all applicable even to school-going children, pre-teens and teenagers!

Whilst attending the academy live or in person creates a more personal touch to it, it will result in huge restrictions in the dates and timings the students will be able to attend.

By offering the academy as pre-recorded videos, it provides all students an opportunity to adjust their schedules accordingly and attend the academy modules at a timing most suited to their lifestyles, work and family needs. It also provides an opportunity for students to watch and re-watch the modules if needed – anytime and anywhere!

As part of the academy fees, upon registration and payment, you can invite another person to attend the academy for FREE with you!

Criteria for eligibility: He/she must be a caregiver of your children.

How would he/she attend the academy:

• Both of you will share the same log-in details to the Popsicles & Play school website to access all videos and materials related to the academy.
• He/she will be entitled to the same email support.

Note that consultation calls or meet-ups are not included as part of the Academy.

This will be charged at a separate fee, and subject to the schedule of the coach.
