Put Polly in your pocket.

If the waters are feeling choppy in your home, or it feels like your kid is the one manning the ship (instead of you), our new Parent School With Polly membership may be the just right way for you to turn the ship around at home.

This platform encourages interactive learning, as well as round-the-clock access to weekly new teachings, bimonthly office hours with Polly, live and recorded video classes, and discussion channels with Polly and other Parent School members.

The LAB Method marries a practical set of tools with a compassionate approach to raising kids of character and growing ourselves up as we do it. Each simple, yet profoundly effective practice concentrates on becoming a relaxed, emotionally safe leader, while offering a comforting reminder: we can pivot at any time and see remarkable changes take hold instantly. No matter what stage of parenting we are in, it’s never too late to do family differently.

Polly offers constructive roadmaps and simple strategies that take parents from the land of feeling stuck, lost and exasperated, to a place of meaningful connection, emotionally safe interactions, and relaxed leadership. Her powerful mantras and user-friendly language teach parents how to lead without losing their cool, to fear LESS and to set boundaries peacefully. Each LAB Method intervention builds mutual respect between parents, kids and partners, bringing immediate relief to stressed interactions and inspiring kids to want to follow their leaders.

We teach the how of:

Using your words: Learn to talk with yourself and your people compassionately and respectfully, without judgement, sarcasm, blame, or shame

Secure attachment: Move through challenging moments while building a rock-solid bond that stands strong against any headwinds

Setting & holding limits: Set limits without blowing your top and hold others (and yourself) accountable for missteps & fumbles

Healthy hierarchy: Take the reins peacefully without bribing, shaming, forfeiting, or losing your cool

Communicating honestly: Learn how to talk about hard stuff instead of stuffing the things that are hard to talk about
