A structured, multi-session experience for parents who want a practical household plan around work, finances, and technology.
The Grateful Grounded Kids Workshop is not a one-night lecture you forget by Tuesday. It's a guided process that walks parents through the thinking, planning, and implementation of a household economy — one that makes sense for your family, your values, and your kids' ages.
Over the course of several sessions, you'll build a real, working plan around three areas: Work & Responsibility, Financial Literacy, and Technology Management. You'll leave with something you can actually use — not just inspiration, but a framework.
Each phase builds on the last. By the end, you won't just understand the ideas — you'll have a plan that fits your family.
Doug lays the foundation: what entitlement really is, why it's the natural result of privilege without responsibility, and how the three pillars — Work, Finances, and Technology — form the structure of a grounded household. This is the "why" session.
Parents receive a guided workbook and reflection materials. You'll assess where your family currently stands — what's working, what's not, and where the gaps are. This honest inventory is the starting point for your plan.
The heart of the experience. Working through each pillar, parents build out their household plan: chore systems and accountability, age-appropriate financial structures (saving, spending, giving, investing), and a technology contract that sets real boundaries. Doug facilitates, but you do the work that matters — because your plan has to fit your family.
After you've had time to implement, the group reconvenes on Zoom. What's sticking? What needs adjusting? This session gives you the accountability and fine-tuning that makes the plan last — not just a burst of motivation that fades by month two.
A clear system for expectations, accountability, paid and unpaid work — tailored to your kids' ages and your household rhythms.
Age-appropriate structures for saving, spending, giving, and investing — habits that grow with your kids into real financial competence.
A written agreement covering screens, devices, gaming, phones, social media, and parental controls — boundaries that match your family's values.
