Powerful Parenting : The Program

Powerful Behaviour and Family Management Strategies - Proven to work, and not available anywhere, but here!

We have spent years designing our powerful 12-step behaviour and family management program for parents who want to succeed with their parenting, and family and behaviour management. The Powerful Parenting® Program is based on years of success working with children and is for children of all ages, from two+ years of age to upper primary. Regardless of the behaviours or ages you are dealing with, this powerful ‘Parent-and-Child’ training program will cater to your child’s individual needs, and will work!

Unlike other programs available, 'Powerful Parenting–12 simple steps to behaviour success!' is not about time-outs, counting to 3, punishments or quick-fixes! The Powerful Parenting® Program puts adults back in the driver’s seat where they belong, and shows them, step-by-step, how to prevent problems while ensuring long-term, genuine change takes place! And that's the key to our phenomenal success and remarkable results!

At Powerful Parenting Australia, we are absolutely committed to giving parents the skills they need for success, and children the skills they deserve for life!

The Award-Winning Powerful Parenting® Program will take the guess work out of parenting for you! It's packed full of resources!

The powerful strategies and principles that underpin the Powerful Parenting® Program have succeeded with a large variety of children with very different behaviour and social needs — and will work for your child too. Every parent who has fully implemented the Powerful Parenting® Program has experienced change and success! And this makes us very excited!

We are confident the Powerful Parenting® Program will transform your parenting, and will bring about the huge changes you and your family deserve!

Put simply, our approach to behaviour is failing with today’s children. Strategies such as time-outs, rewards and punishments are highly problematic and no longer work with the behaviours we see today. They are reactive in nature and do not bring about genuine or lasting change. Part one of the Powerful Parenting® Program looks at the behaviour we are dealing with today, why our approaches are failing, and then outlines a powerful, highly-effective alternative system that is based on PREVENTION and succeeding with children of all ages!

Part Two of the Program is the powerful 12 step solution. All 12 steps have been specifically designed to work in-conjunction with one another, and will inform and support your parenting long-term, as your child transitions from childhood to those challenging teenage years. Each step is a powerful agent for change in its own right, but also plays a crucial role in the Program in its entirety. The comprehensive nature of this Program ensures every family will experience success, and rather than being a 'traditional' program that will stop at some stage, you will incorporate these powerful practices and techniques into your parenting for years to come.

“Thank you so much! I was truly inspired by the talk you gave. Having recently been referred to our Paediatrician and on to a Psychologist for assessment of my youngest child (by her school), I was on the lookout for any and all ideas which might help with her aggressive behaviours. It was surprisingly a very moving experience for me, and highlighted a lot...It has also been so very surprising to us that by implementing only a couple of the strategies from the program - it has totally turned our household on its head! By just focusing on a few of your communication techniques my youngest (known for her rebellious, demanding nature) fell straight into line and became a pleasure and compliant person to deal with! I'm feeling so optimistic about the weeks ahead. Kindest regards, all our appreciation!” J. Boyd

“My goodness. I read your program in two days and it worked so wonderfully and so quickly! We implement many parts of it each and every day. So much learning for all of us! It was a bit of a surprise that most of our son’s behaviour improved so dramatically when ours did! That was the biggest mind shift I think. Now we have our second son and we are so pleased to have the Powerful Parenting program!” J.Papiccio – Mother of two, Western Australia

“I met Davina Sharry at her workshop last year. Since then, I have put the Powerful Parenting program into practice. I have to say things are going so well at home, and my children are starting to understand with responsible behaviour comes more trust and freedom. I have actually had my children come back to me and ask if they can learn a new behaviour skill from the program because when they succeed, they gain ownership. They really enjoy that. I have also been doing a lot of my own inner work, and this program has really complimented me in becoming calmer. We have made a lot of great changes. In closing, I want to say: This is such powerful information. The program is a rock star; and you are truly inspirational.Thank you. Marko Jakovich - Father of three, Brisbane Queensland

“This program, developed by Davina Sharry has, and continues to be, a huge part of my everyday behaviour as an adult, in turning my own life around. I believe it is a revolutionary program consisting of 12 simple steps to achieve behaviour success for the entire family as they learn together. The program strategies are not about time-out and punishments, but about teaching children the skills they need to succeed over the long-term. Davina and her father Lawrence are individuals who really care and genuinely want to help families, educators and children achieve great results with behaviour and behaviour management. I highly recommend this program and feel truly blessed to have found it. I look forward to watching their journey as they get the opportunity to change the lives of so many. They are my heroes. Vonnie Reyolds, Senior Nurse and Mother of two - Bondall QLD

“Powerful Parenting is very well presented! I am so much more aware now of powerful approaches to my parenting and I will be installing and implementing these procedures. This Powerful Parenting Program is a very unique and positive program!” J. Reynolds

“This is fantastic! I feel all teachers need to do this training as well... I will stop what I’m doing and focus on what I learnt today. My husband and I have already started with some of your communication techniques!!! What positive results! I could see my children just stopping and thinking before they acted out the same behaviour again! Brilliant! I am so excited, inspired and empowered to start implementing the entire program into our lives...Many thanks. I know we are on a positive path of change and growth now for all of us.” A. Powerlett

“I first attended the Powerful Parenting Seminar almost 2 years ago This is when my life changed! That's a strong statement to use, but since using the Powerful Parenting Program with my now 5 year old son I have reduced my stress levels and changed my parenting practices for the better. I was so keen to introduce my whole family to this program, that we all attended another Powerful Parenting seminar. This has given us a renewed vigour with which to move forward in teaching our son the behavioural skills he needs. When I first heard Davina talk about her Powerful Parenting strategies, it just all 'made sense' to me and I knew straight away that this was the path I needed to follow to help build certain skills in my son and to develop my own parenting skills. Yelling, getting upset, time-outs and punishments – these just don’t work and were not good for me or my son.

We have moved forward in leaps and bounds, and most importantly the program has given me the new powerful language I needed to teach and inspire my son, rather than punitive, negative measures that do not work. Of course, we will still have some work to do in the future as this is parenting, but now I know 'how' to have parenting success through useful, powerful techniques that teach my son the behaviour he needs. He is now ready to start school next year. I am so grateful for all the knowledge and strategies Davina has given me and would highly recommend this Powerful Parenting program to every parent! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Davina Sharry!!”Melissa Ridgway - Mother of two. Runcorn, Brisbane QLD
