A Positive Approach to Raising Little Kids
I am Karen Lock Kolp, M.Ed., and I help you enjoy your parenting journey.
I mentor parents through the anxiety, bad behavior, and tough struggles that raising a family brings in NPC, our private online coaching community.
I also offer lots of resources to help you navigate raising young children.
I believe this kind of help is more necessary now, in a global pandemic, than ever before.
You don’t have to go through this alone!
Need some ideas for getting good behavior from your kiddos while everyone during the pandemic lockdown and its aftermath?
We’ve got lots of help for you here at weturnedoutokay.com…
Lots of Personal Help and Support
I’ve added some helpful stuff to my private online coaching practice, the Ninja Parenting Community, and the community is now open once more for registration so you can take advantage of it all!
I love working with parents to solve your biggest parenting challenges <3

Testimonials:
“It was a pretty challenging year adding a second child and handling all that comes with that and managing the three-year-old… Karen, you’ve been an incredible light in all of that, and I can’t thank you enough for helping me through a pretty dark patch. Looking forward to staying OUT of the dark in this year!”
– Celia, Mom of two kids under four years old, Private coaching community member
“Thank you for all of your help! You have truly changed our lives and helped navigate some massive life changes and I am so grateful!”
– Mom of 3-year-old boy, Private coaching community member
“I watched your [just-for-me] video. Thank you for your positive words, they are greatly appreciated Karen.”
– Mom of 5-year-old twins, Private coaching community member
The most useful thing in working with Karen:
“Building the relationship with a child development expert. We joke about having Karen “on retainer,” but it is so helpful to know that she is there and can help.”
– Mom of 2-and 4-year-old boys, 1-to-1 Parent Coaching Client
“The validation, about timeouts and why they haven’t been working, and how to make them work for my family. Karen helps me feel like I actually know what I am doing.”
– Dad of 3-and-5-year-old boys, 1-to-1 Parent Coaching Client

Meet Jen, a parent just like you
Jen is the mom of 2 daughters.
(Here they are : )
Jen is also a member of my private coaching community, the Ninja Parenting Community.
When she joined in 2017, Jen had spent quite a bit of time on the Internet, more or less randomly looking for information about how to get her family life on a good track.
As my guest in podcast episode 288, Jen shares about that time: “I didn’t feel like I had control over the direction our family was going.”
It was her work in the Ninja Parenting Community that gave her that control.
What really helped her: the guidance, both in concrete “do this now” instructions, and working with me to gain a thorough understanding of why kids do what they do.
Jen shares how much she loves the methodology, the formulas that I teach, to help parents through the tough moments.
As part of NPC membership, everyone gets access to e-copies of my parenting books; Jen references the first one, Positive Discipline Ninja Tactics, as super helpful.
If you need personal help – more than I can provide with the podcast, or my parenting books – consider working with me.
I LOVE working with parents closely, to help them solve the problems that come up while raising kids, so they can have the kind of family life they dream about.
The kind of family life that Jen randomly searched for on the Internet, and wasn’t finding, until she joined NPC.
I believe the best kind of family life…
- Is possible, for every family.
- Takes your needs as a parent into consideration
- Doesn’t ignore the tough parts but instead addresses and resolves them.
I teach parents how to leave behind the bad, and embrace the good.
I have seen incredible transformation in those I work with.
Work with me to bring this transformation about for you and your family.
You can work closely with me in the following ways:
1. By joining the Ninja Parenting Community.
2. Through 1-to-1 Parent Coaching. 1 of 3 spots available.
