About The Soul of Discipline
The Simplicity Parenting Discipline and Guidance Training is based on the book, The Soul of Discipline. In this groundbreaking material, parenting expert and acclaimed author of the bestselling book Simplicity Parenting, Kim John Payne, M.Ed., flips the script on children’s challenging or defiant behavior and lays out an elegantly simple plan to support parents in establishing loving, age-sensitive boundaries that help children feel safe and settled.
Payne gives parents heartwarming help and encouragement by combining astute observations with sensitive and often funny stories from his long career as a parent educator and a school and family counselor.
Practical and rooted in common sense, The Soul of Discipline gives parents permission to be warm and nurturing but also calm and firm (not overreactive). It gives clear, doable strategies to get things back on track for parents who sense that their children’s behavior has fallen into a troubling pattern.
Best of all, it provides healthy direction to the entire family so parents can spend less time and energy on outmoded, punitive discipline and more on connecting with and enjoying their kids.

What Group Leaders are saying ...
Feeling optimistic and excited! The Marketing and Outreach materials are helping me feel like I'm well supported in taking next steps.
- Rachel
I'm very excited and now feel very confident to offer this work! As I began to engage, I found the momentum took care of itself, and I actually can't believe I've already finished. (I've done it sooner than I thought possible!) Thank you for helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel and inspiring me to make my way there!
- Linda
I am grateful to have had the structure of these weeks to press onward and to give this important activity the attention it deserves. It felt easy to carve out a small amount of time each day.

FAQs
What does this training enable me to do?
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.
Is there a pre-requisite for the training?
No. It is helpful if you've already done the Soul of Discipline Home Practice Guide, but it's not at all necessary. Everything you need is included in the Group Leader Training.
If I've taken the Home Practice Guide, should I also take the Group Leader Training?
Only if you want to start offering Discipline and Guidance 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.
What are the learning materials?
- 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
How much can I charge when I offer groups in my community after the training?
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.
My community is not primarily English-speaking. Are non-English subtitles available?
Yes! We have Spanish subtitles available now (3/21) and more on their way. (Please let us know what language subtitles you need.)
How long do I have access to the materials?
Indefinitely.
Are continuing education credits available for taking this training?
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.
How long does it take to build a business as a Simplicity Parenting Group Leader?
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.
Can I take this training from outside the USA?
Yes! The learning materials are all available online through our learning portal.
Do I need a computer or any special skills to do the training?
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.
How does the certification process work?
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 Discipline and Guidance Parent Gatherings to the public.
How will I be able to apply my learning once I've completed the training?
You will be able to utilize this material to guide your understanding and practice of Simplicity Parenting Discipline and Guidance in your personal and family life, as well as in the offering of parent group gatherings.
