What is Active Parenting?

An introduction to our evidence-backed parenting philosophy, Adlerian principles, and the authoritative approach developed by Dr. Michael Popkin.

Active Parenting provides evidence-backed curricula and resources designed to empower professionals, educators, and community leaders. Our mission is to provide Leaders with the highest quality tools and training necessary to help parents and caregivers in raising confident, responsible, and cooperative children.

  • Philosophy: Our approach is rooted in Adlerian psychology, focusing on mutual respect, encouragement, non-violent discipline, and understanding the child's perspective.

  • Methodology: We champion an "authoritative" ("Active" instead of reactive) approach to parenting that balances warmth with clear boundaries to foster positive family environments.

  • Development: All programs are authored and/or developed by Dr. Michael Popkin, a renowned counseling psychologist, specifically to be effective, affordable, and easy for Leaders to implement.
