By teaching you how to lead and promote Simplicity Parenting Parent Gatherings in your community, it helps you support parents and families, grow the Simplicity Parenting movement, and potentially create additional revenue for your family.

No. It is somewhat helpful if you've already done the related Home Practice Guide, but it's not at all necessary. Everything you need is included in the Group Leader Training.

Only if you want to start offering Parent Gatherings in your community. There is some additional discipline information in the Group Leader Training compared to the Home Practice Guide, but we don't feel it's enough to justify the additional expense.

Yes! Since a portion of the material is the same across all three Group Leader Trainings, there is a discount available for additional trainings.

• 5+ hours of video modules containing instruction by Kim John Payne
• A detailed curriculum for delivering a series of groups for parents in your community
• Instruction in group dynamics, group leader skills, and how to deliver the material and the curriculum
• A comprehensive Marketing and Outreach training
• A private forum for Group Leader students
• Access to the Simplicity Community and Coaches Forum

We recommend that you check fees charged in your community for yoga classes, as a comparison guide, but we suggest an average $100 for the group gatherings, adjusted according to your unique community.

Participants are also required to purchase their own student materials for a nominal fee. We'll provide you a link to share with them.

Yes! We have Spanish and Chinese subtitles available now (DG) and more on their way. (Please let us know what language subtitles you need.)

Indefinitely.

The training is not approved for CEU’s by any particular institution. But often participants who need CEU’s can apply to their accrediting agency and we can support their application.

As you can imagine, it varies a lot. Some people have been up and running within the first month, while others have taken more time due to the space they have available in their lives.

In either case, especially if you are a newcomer to the field of parent support, it may take several years to build a niche for your offerings in your community. If you already work with parents and families, this work will enhance and perhaps transform what you offer.

Please check with your local community business advisors about tax and other issues so that you build your business in a fiscally responsible manner.

Yes! The learning materials are all available online through our learning portal.

You will need to be able to access the training area, watch the online videos, and download the study materials. You also need email for receiving our communications and internet service to access your learning materials through the training portal.

Upon completion of the training, students receive a Certificate of Completion. After signing our terms of service agreement, they will be authorized to offer Simplicity Parenting Parent Gatherings to the public.

You will be able to utilize this material to guide your understanding and practice of the material in your personal and family life, as well as in the offering of parent group gatherings.

• The Simplicity Parenting - Family Life course is aimed at helping parents feel more confident to slow down, dial back and balance the lives of their children.  It supports simplifying in five areas,  decluttering and organizing, increasing rhythm and predictability, simplifying schedules, filtering out adult information and clarifying and strengthening family values and leadership.
• The Simplicity Parenting - Discipline and Guidance Group Leader helps parents be able to set more warm, kind but firm boundaries that are developmentally sensitive in their child’s early years, the middle childhood years and through into their teens.
• The Simplicity Parenting - Emotional Self Regulation Group Leader helps parents stay more emotionally oriented when their child is disoriented.  It helps parents avoid old unwanted action-reaction patterns of escalation and explores the trigger points that lead them to frustration and anger. The Group Leader also helps parents know how to make the emotional repairs if family events get heated.
