Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Customers express dissatisfaction with subscriptions, citing unexpected charges and difficulty in canceling. Many consumers report being charged for subscriptions they did not authorize, often after an initial trial period or a one-off purchase. People also report issues with contacting the company, mentioning that contact links do not work or that they receive generic, unhelpful responses. The topic of refunds is a sore point for many, with reviewers claiming that they were denied refunds even when they canceled promptly. The sentiment around the app is mixed, with a lack of consensus among users.

If only i could give a 0

I had a very disappointing experience with Parenting Leader. I requested a full refund for unused services, citing my legal rights under Spanish consumer protection laws. Despite following their refund policy and providing all necessary documentation, they only offered a partial refund and delayed the process unnecessarily. Their customer service was unhelpful and dismissive, and I felt their response did not respect my rights as a consumer. Highly dissatisfied with the lack of transparency and professionalism. Would not recommend.

How not to do email marketing

Clicked through an instagram ad, did the quiz, was not in a position to buy. Came back to it ina few hours later and noticed I'd received a couple of email reminders - not unusual. What was unusual was the nasty, manipulative tone of the emails. I'm not shy of 'tough love' but heck, that was something. Glad I didnt subscribe now and definitely won't be doing in the future. Makes me wonder whether it's a real person with real experiences behind the company or just a make-believe persona.

Extremely rude emails of a bullying…

Extremely rude emails of a bullying nature! Extremely unprofessional! I quite:

“I’m disappointed but not surprised. Experience has taught me that only 3% of parents who see the program invest in transformation. 97% choose to stay stuck. They choose familiarity dysfunction over unfamiliar growth. Known patterns over unknown possibilities. Comfortable chaos over the work of healing. You’re part of the 97%. This is my final message about the transformation you chose not to pursue. I understand breaking reactive patterns feels scary when you e lived with them for years. But understanding doesn’t change the impact on your children. You hike you were “thinking about it” your explosive reactions kept damaging their developing nervous system. They continued learning that love isn’t emotionally safe. They kept practicing self protection from their “safest” person. They continue building relationship templates based on chaos. Other parents chose differently: (a couple of quotes praising program).

They weren’t ready more than you. They weren’t capable more than you. They weren’t deserving of peaceful families more than you. You’re being removed from this sequence because you have made the choice clear through inaction. You will continue receiving our general newsletter with tips that won’t address your explosive patterns because surface level advice can’t heal deep-rooted dysfunction. The real work- the transformation work- is for the 3% that choose courage. I hope someday you’ll join them. I hope someday you’ll be able to prioritize your family’s peace over your fear of investing in yourself. But today isn’t that day. And that’s ok. Most parents are t ready for real change. Your children will adapt to whatever version of you they get. They always do. Write a different story- midnight deadline”

So… if you wish to be bullied and mentored by a business owner who clearly has not worked through her own unhealthy patterns, and learn to achieve success through belittlement and manipulation, this is the program for you.

Horribly aggressive, guilt tripping and shameful marketing strategy.

Horribly aggressive, guilt tripping and shameful marketing strategy.

I encountered an ad on facebook for this company. There was no mention of fees anywhere on this ad, so I filled in the questionnaire out of curiosity thinking I might get some free advice out of it. After they got my email address, the fees were detailed. I thought 'oh maybe i'll come back to it when i get paid'. From then, I have received multiple emails shaming me for not taking the course, and the most recent one for not deciding to go ahead was horribly aggressive. Some extracts:

I'm disappointed, but not surprised.
Experience has taught me that only 3% of parents who see the program actually invest in transformation.
97% choose to stay stuck.
They choose familiar dysfunction over unfamiliar growth. Known patterns over unknown possibilities. Comfortable chaos over the work of healing.
You're part of the 97%.
This is my final message about the transformation you chose not to pursue.
I understand that breaking reactive patterns feels scary when you've been living with them for years.
But understanding doesn't change the impact on your children.
While you were "thinking about it":
• ⛔️ Your explosive reactions continued damaging their developing nervous systems
• ⛔️ They continued learning that love isn't emotionally safe
• ⛔️ They continued practicing self-protection from their safest person
• ⛔️ They continued building relationship templates based on chaos
• 👉 They weren't more ready than you.
• 👉 They weren't more capable than you.
• 👉 They weren't more deserving of peaceful families than you.
You're being removed from this sequence because you've made your choice clear through inaction.
You'll continue receiving our general newsletter with tips that won't address your explosive patterns because surface-level advice can't heal deep-rooted dysfunction.
The real work - the transformation work - that's for the 3% who choose courage.
I hope someday you'll join them.
I hope someday you'll be ready to prioritize your family's peace over your fear of investing in yourself.
But today isn't that day.
And that's okay. Most parents aren't ready for real change.
Your children will adapt to whatever version of you they get.
They always do.

This kind of marketing is so predatory, and so so uncomfortable. This email guaranteed that I will never use their services. Well done parenting leader for putting people off. And if your customer's children flinch when they walk into a room (Like Sarah's child supposedly did as detailed in your email), then they have much bigger problems than a bit of yelling that will not be fixed by some quack course online.
