As a parent, I want to develop...

We all want to model these qualities for our kids.

Yet we struggle to parent as we want.

The challenges keep growing and the parenting gap keeps widening.

BEGIN

Your Journey

In the Becoming Lab, we approach parenting differently. We see it as a learning journey in which parents educate by example. Because actions speak louder than words, we focus on cultivating the desired actions within us first so that we can parent forward.

It all starts with us. As we embrace the process of becoming better, and learn to navigate our parenting experiences with a growth mindset, optimism, compassion, choice, and wholeheartedness, we’ll pass our lessons onwards to our kids and to the world around us.

PRINCIPLES

To raise lifelong learners, we approach parenting differently

Educate by Example

Authentic Role Modeling — Imitation is one of the most powerful forms of learning. Our kids learn more from our actions than our words. Cultivating our children’s characteristics starts with us, therefore we focus on transforming our own actions.

Learner First

Parent as the Learner — You, as a learner, are at the center. Your needs, wants, values, and aspirations matter. So does your wellbeing. Discovering ways to treat yourself with care, compassion, and kindness will help you stay focused on learning and improving.

Practice Makes Progress

Developing Parenting Skills — Change and
challenges are inevitable parts of parenting. Bridging
your unique parenting gap requires experimenting
with new strategies, practicing skills, and moving
beyond just theory.

The approach integrates teachings from the world’s leading researchers in Growth Mindset, Positive Psychology, and Non-Violent Communication.

Hi there!

I'm Liz

Welcome to the Lab

I’m so glad our paths crossed!

I’m a Growth Mindset learning specialist, Nonviolent Communication coach, researcher, and mom of three based in California. The Becoming Lab is where I combine my passion for learning, discovering, and evolving with education, creation, and social impact.

I help parents become the role models they aspire to be. Together as a learning community, we challenge and change the way we approach parenting. We develop the mindset and skills needed to navigate and enjoy our parenting journey, one (baby) step at a time.

Kind Words from the Becomers

"I learned to love and see the good things that my kids do, instead of focusing on the things that drive me crazy. More broadly, the way I perceive my husband, myself, and my work is more positive now. I can definitely feel the difference."

Nowadays, I feel more empowered as a mom. Liz gave me the tools to find “better wording” in difficult situations. Previously, I knew exactly what I wanted to say but could not find the words to express it without making the situation more explosive. I truly feel that Liz has enabled me to achieve better relationships and communication with my kids.

"Thanks to the program, my entire family practices appreciation everyday. This has not only changed my mindset, but the relationships I have with my kids and partner. Thanks for changing my life."
