The Aware Parenting Institute
Aware Parenting is a philosophy of child rearing that has the potential to change the world. Based on current research in child development, Aware Parenting questions most traditional assumptions about raising children, and proposes a new approach that can significantly improve relationships within a family. Parents who follow this approach raise children who are cooperative, compassionate, competent, nonviolent, and drug free.
The Aware Parenting Institute is an international organization with certified instructors in 16 countries who are helping to spread this philosophy around the world.

Aware Parenting is based on the work of Aletha Solter, Ph.D., a Swiss American developmental psychologist, international speaker, consultant, and author of four books (The Aware Baby, Helping Young Children Flourish, Tears and Tantrums, and Raising Drug-Free Kids). Dr. Solter studied with Dr. Jean Piaget in Switzerland before earning her Ph.D. in psychology at the University of California. She is an internationally known expert on attachment, trauma, non-punitive discipline, and developmentally appropriate education. Her books have been translated into Dutch, Estonian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. The Aware Baby has sold over 130,000 copies worldwide. Dr. Solter has led workshops for parents and professionals in 14 countries. She also offers consultations for parents.
The Aware Parenting Institute has no political or religious affiliation.
