Keep It Positive is a method of parenting based on research and proven results that will transform your home into a loving, peaceful, and respectful environment.

-Use Biblical principles to undergird all of the above.

"Thank you so much for caring about parenting our little ones. Our house is more peaceful. We are not 'sweating the small stuff.' Excellent, easy, practical advice. The fact that there were lots of examples made it simple to follow." -Mark, father of two daughters.
