even when you feel like the peaceful parenting strategies aren't cutting it.
A FREE 5 day virtual event
for parents of kids who are "more" or "extra"
Oct. 16-20
Tired of hearing parenting advice that makes you want to say, "Yeah- but have you met my kid?!"
This summit isn't like other parenting summits you may have attended or advice you may have received.
It's SPECIFICALLY designed for parents of complex kids.
If you've ever wondered why your friends don’t seem to be working as hard as you are- or secretly felt like you must be a failure- you probably have one of those kids who are “more” or “extra.”
It takes a whole lot more than giving choices, a visual schedule or just saying 'no'.
You're doing a lot of things right--
But every day still feels so hard
Maybe right now you find yourself...
...staying up late at night looking for answers on Google, reading all the things and wondering what you're doing wrong, because you get the side eye every day from friends, family and neighbours.
...wondering how they can go from zero to a hundred in the blink of an eye, and you're dealing with a melting down child again- dodging the things they are throwing at you and trying not to get hit. You have bruises that are embarrassing to explain!
...being a short order cook because no one likes the same thing. Plus, what they liked yesterday they don't like today and you wonder if they will EVER eat anything new. Let's not even talk about trying to get anyone to sit at the table for more than 5 minutes.
...fighting with your partner. You're both worried that your kids are still going to be 'like this' when they get bigger and then what will you do? You want to be on the same page but neither of you knows what to do to make things better.
...battling AGAIN over screens. You want to throw the iPad out the window. No matter how many warnings you give or deals you make, it's always a fight.
You feel jealous of your friends or neighbours who don't seem to struggle. Why are they skipping through a (metaphorical) field of daisies when every day for you feels so hard?
There has to be a better way!
You're here because you have a child who is "more" or "extra"--
strong-willed, spirited, sensitive and/or neurodivergent. I see how hard you're working!
You want to find a way to flourish- not flounder- with your complex child -- that's doable and actually works.
How would it feel to...
...actually enjoy your kids instead of counting the minutes till they are asleep?
...stay calm instead of yelling or worse.
...feel confident that your kids are actually going to turn out okay- great, even?
All without yelling, threats or punishments?
This is exactly what you'll experience at the Flourish With Your Complex Child Summit
During this FREE online event, you'll learn how to go from overwhelmed and frustrated to "I've got this!"
Join us to learn from 30+ experts to learn how to parent your "more" or "extra" child with calm and confidence.

MEET YOUR HOST
Hi! I'm Sarah Rosensweet
I'm a certified peaceful parenting coach, speaker, and educator and the founder of Reimagine Peaceful Parenting and The Peaceful Parenting Membership. I live in Toronto with my husband and my 16 year old daughter. My 19 and 22 year old sons have launched.
Raising my children has been the most meaningful experience of my life- supporting parents is a close second.
I've been where you are now and I've worked with thousands of parents just like you.
I can tell you both personally and professionally that everything we're sharing in the Flourish with Your Complex Child summit WORKS to raise great kids.
I CREATED THIS SUMMIT BECAUSE...
Every day I talk to parents of complex kids and it breaks my heart when I hear them say that they feel like they're failing. If you have complex kids, peaceful parenting might look a little different- AND you are not failing!
It is possible to struggle less and find more joy with your kids. But it might not look like all the books are telling you it's supposed to look.
That's why we are here! We want you to feel confidence and more ease in parenting- without yelling, threats or punishments.
It is possible!
Let us show you how.

What to expect at the Flourish With Your Complex Child Summit:
When and where
The Flourish With Your Complex Child will run from October 16th to 20th with a variety of presentations to choose from each day. This event is entirely virtual, so you’ll be able to attend from anywhere in the world with internet access.
Community
You'll also have access to our Facebook community of other parents of complex kids just like you who are already hanging out and learning how they can feel more calm and confident while parenting their complex kiddos. This is where you'll have opportunities to connect with them and our guest experts before and during the event so that you don't feel alone on this journey.
Expert sessions
Learn from our lineup of world-renowned speakers during interviews on topics such as dealing with aggression, ADHD, sensory challenges, managing overwhelm as a parent, and more! Your free ticket includes 24 hour access to each interview during the week of the summit.
The 24 hour access includes 24 hour access to the interviews in the following accessible formats: video with captions, audio only, transcript
VIP Experience
After registering, you'll also have the chance to upgrade to the VIP All Acess Pass which includes ongoing access to the interviews after the summit wraps up, premium bonuses from our speakers, and more! You'll get all the details (and a special offer) after grabbing your free ticket!
Live roundtable Q&As
Watching actionable interviews is great, but to see real change happen you’ll have to take action.
And doing so alongside others with similar goals is powerful. That’s why we’ll have live, interactive events every day during the Summit!
These sessions include a chance to ask questions and present your challenges to me and other hand-picked experts.
You'll be able to take what you’ll learn throughout the week and get you taking action toward feeling more calm, confident and happy while parenting your complex child.
These will take place every day at NOON EST. Recordings will be provided if you can't attend live
Scholarship
I am dedicated to helping you feel calm and confident while parenting your complex child- and to making the process as easy as possible. To help, you’ll hear about The Peaceful Parenting Membership here and there throughout the event.
On the final day, one lucky (and engaged) attendee will be selected to win a full scholarship for one year in The Peaceful Parenting Membership and have instant access to the tools, support, community and accountability you need to confidently parent your complex kiddo.
Stay tuned for details and your chance to apply!
Keynote Peaceful Discipline Workshop
You'll have the opportunity to attend my live workshop, "Peaceful Discipline: Raise Great Kids Without Yelling, Threats, or Punishment."
Whether you're new to peaceful discipline or have been practicing it a while, it can be tricky to know what to do when you don't want to use conventional fear-based discipline.
You'll also hear more about my amazing membership community, The Peaceful Parenting Membership, at the end of the workshop.
WHAT MAKES THIS EVENT UNIQUE
If you've been reading all the books, doing all the Googling, watching all the videos-
You know that most parenting experts out there don't "get" your complex kid.
So many of you say every day, "This isn't working like it's supposed to. Life still feels hard for us!"
That's why our conference is so special.
We have carefully chosen a lineup of amazing speakers who understand your complex child.
We are here to help you to learn how to work with your complex child --
so that you can feel calm and confident- and maybe even enjoy parenting again!
Plus, LIVE Roundtable Q&As all week
so that you can get your questions answered and get support with your challenges
with some of my handpicked favourite parenting coaches:
Every day, Monday October 16 - Thursday October 19, at NOON EST

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are some kids who are just easier. You tell them to go put their shoes on or that it's time to leave the park and they, well, just do it. There are other kids- whether it's because they are strong-willed, or spirited, or sensitive and/or neurodivergent, that just require MORE of us. More intentionality. More support. More tools. More compassion. Those are the complex kids- who I call our "more" or "extra" kids.
The main portion of the summit runs from Oct 16th to 20th. You’ll also be able to join our Facebook community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away!
While most of the interviews for the summit are pre-recorded, there are some live elements, and the pre-recorded interviews are only available for 24 hours with your free ticket. So we encourage you to attend live if you can! We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, watch the pre-recorded interviews, and connect with other parents who are on this journey with you to becoming more calm and confident as parents of complex kids.
However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the VIP All Access Pass for extended access to all the interviews, including in transcript and podcast format.
Your free ticket includes 24 hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the VIP (Very Important Parent) after registering, which will give you extended access to the interviews along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!
Yes! The interviews are presented in video format with captions, audio only format, and transcripts are available.

To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, the interviews are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit. However, some of the speakers will be hanging out in our Facebook group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! There will also be opportunities to join us for roundtable live events throughout the week.
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Reimagine Peaceful Parenting email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to 25+ email lists that you're not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.
If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.
However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at Sarah@SarahRosensweet.com.
