Neuroscience is the study of the brain and nervous system. In this Summit, 23 of my favorite experts share the neuroscience behind the peaceful parenting approach -- in everyday language that parents can understand, and with specific tools and strategies that parents can put start using in their own homes, today.
Parenting can be frustrating and confusing, but neuroscience now gives us a window into the way our children’s brains work, so we can understand what drives even their most baffling behavior. In this Summit, you’ll gain the confidence, strategies, and practical tools to support your child’s emotional and cognitive growth—and to create a more peaceful, rewarding relationship with your child.
What You Will Learn
Understand your child’s behavior through the lens of brain science, helping you respond with patience and emotional generosity.
Practical evidence-based tools to support your child’s emotional regulation and foster resilience, based on the latest neuroscience.
How to build a secure attachment with your child, leading to better emotional regulation and stronger bond.
Brain-based strategies for self-regulation and healing that empower you to stay calm during challenging parenting moments.
The neuroscience behind coaching your child, supporting the development of their emotional and cognitive skills. And much more!
By the end of the Nurturing Hearts, Nurturing Minds Summit,
you’ll understand how your child’s brain works,
why they behave the way they do,
and how YOUR nervous system influences your child's emotional development.
You’ll walk away with practical tools
to nurture and coach your child -- and yourself!

HAVE YOU TRIED...
Timeouts?
❌ If so, you know that they only work temporarily, and don't help your child learn to manage either emotions or behavior. Research shows timeouts actually cause more misbehavior!
Reward Charts?
❌ Then you've seen how once the rewards stop, the cooperation fades. And often, when kids can't manage themselves well enough to earn the rewards, they're even more frustrated than you are!
Ignoring bad behavior?
❌ All behavior is communication, so "bad" behavior is communicating something your child needs help with. So when you ignore, your child escalates until you step in!
Raising your voice?
❌ That just trains your child not to pay attention until you raise your voice, and to shout themselves. Kids lose respect for us when we yell. And we lose respect for ourselves.
Consequences?
❌ Children don't have a fully developed frontal cortex, so they often can't stop themselves from off-track behavior -- even with the threat of a consequence. If punishment worked, you would never have to do it again!
Different parenting podcasts, books, advice?
❌ If you want consistent, lasting change and a happier, more peaceful home and heart, you need a parenting approach grounded in the decades of research that show us how to raise emotionally healthy kids.
You are doing the hardest job in the world.
There are scientifically proven ways to make it easier,
and to help you get better at it.

The Neuroscience of Peaceful Parenting
This Summit Is Organized Into Three Powerful Phases, Each Supported by Neuroscience.
Self-Regulation
Parental self regulation helps shape the child's nervous system, as the child relies on the parent's calm co-regulation to shift from dysregulation back to well-being. Learn the skills to use mindfulness and self-compassion for more patience, calm, and well-being!
Connection
A secure attachment between parent and child leads to better emotional regulation and resilience throughout childhood and into adulthood, as it shapes neural circuits responsible for handling stress, and stimulates the creation of oxytocin receptors.
Coaching
A coaching parenting style supports the development of your child’s prefrontal cortex, which contributes to emotional regulation, learning and social skills. In contrast, controlling parenting increases stress and nervous system over-reactivity, delaying emotional regulation.
This is a 100% online event, compatible with pjs, messy hair and coffee.
Come as you are!

Meet Dr. Laura Markham
Don't miss Dr. Laura's Interview on Friday November 22nd!
Dr. Laura Markham trained as a clinical psychologist at Columbia University, but she’s also a mom, so she understands kids – and parents!As the author of three best-selling books translated into 25 languages, Dr. Laura uses her PhD to translate proven science and child development research into the practical solutions parents need, for the family life they want.
Dr. Laura stands apart because of her unique integration of clear, evidence-based theory from neurobiology, child development, attachment and mindfulness, combined with go-to practical tools that help parents foster more peaceful, loving, and joyful connections with their children.
Now, as the host of the Nurturing Hearts, Nurturing Minds Summit, Dr. Laura brings together her favorite 23 leading parenting experts to share transformative brain-based strategies that support parents to help their children grow a healthy, resilient, brain and nervous system. This five-day virtual event empowers parents with actionable practices to manage their own emotions, sweeten and deepen their relationships with their children, and coach their kids to become their best selves.

- Olivia
"The neuroscience behind my child’s behavior really resonated with me. Understanding the 'why' has helped me be more patient and empathetic. I’m finally getting better at handling my son’s big emotions!"
- Alex
"This summit was exactly what I needed! Dr. Laura and her guests provided such compassionate and practical advice—I feel like I have a whole new toolkit for parenting my kids.
