Discover how using mental models can invite more peace, more calm, and more laughter into your home!

If you’ve followed Farnam Street for any period of time, you know how powerful and flexible mental models can be. They have been used to rescue failing businesses. They’ve helped facilitate complex mergers. They’re responsible for generating billions of dollars in revenue.

All because they change the way people see and interpret reality.

The question we’ve been asking ourselves at FS (and the same question many of our readers have asked for years) is this:

“If mental models can be that impactful in the world of business, why aren’t we fervently applying them in the domain that matters most- parenting?”

What is Re:Think Parenting?

We have come up with a program that works for all kinds of parenting situations—single parents, those who are separated, families with many children, and families with only one. It will be useful for you if you are just starting out on your parenting journey or if your children are almost out of the house. This course works across all family dynamics because it gives you principles, not tactics. Mental models are tools. And we’re going to show you how to use these tools to bring more calm and laughter into your home.

As a parent, you know raising children can be supremely rewarding. But it also comes with plenty of frustrations—we aren’t given owner’s manuals when our children are born, so we’re all striving to figure it out as we go. Every parent has moments where we do or say things we wish we could take back or times when we feel helpless because we don’t know what the right solution is.

Bookstore shelves are riddled with conflicting and contradictory parenting advice, and the internet has long been full of dodgy parenting counsel. You end up with more questions than answers (and severe whiplash from going back and forth between the strategies they promise won’t screw up your kid.)

We’ve experimented with using mental models in our own homes to determine which ones have the broadest application in the context of parenting. We tested, iterated, and tested some more. We’ve shared the material with diverse groups of real parents to see if our own results were out of the ordinary. We’re thrilled to report that they were not. And we can’t wait to share with you what we found so you can get the same benefits.

How does Re:Think Parenting work?

Less conflict, more harmony in less than three hours a week.

The workshop is eight weeks long, broken down into small and manageable lessons that won’t require you to rearrange your life to fit them in.

As parents ourselves, we know how precious and rare time already is. Parents and children have increasingly hectic schedules. Fitting in “one more thing” can sometimes feel impossible. That’s why we structured this course to get big results with a realistic (because life gets crazy) time investment.

If you can find three hours a week (20-25 minutes a day, plus one fun family activity everyone will enjoy), you’ll discover solutions to common frustrations that you see in your home—solutions that will work because they’re tailored to your family and your circumstances.

You’ll start to see your relationships with your kids change for the better. And if you parent with someone else, you’ll also find more harmony together. Your understanding of each other will increase, and with it the ability to improve your family dynamics in ways that benefit everyone.
