Grow in your parenting alongside other parents.
Parenting can feel isolating, especially when you're facing challenges you aren't sure how to navigate.
In my online parenting groups, you'll learn practical, grace-filled tools, explore what's happening beneath your child's behavior, and have the encouragement of other parents who are growing alongside you.
Groups are led by Pam Thompson Bjerke, Certified Connected Families Parent Coach.

Parenting Groups I Lead
Three Ways to Grow
I offer several online group experiences, each focused on a different area of parenting. Groups include teaching, discussion, practical tools, and encouragement as you learn alongside other parents.
Discipline That Connects
with Your Child's Heart
For parents who want to move beyond behavior management and learn to parent in ways that build connection, wisdom, and responsibility.
You'll explore how to communicate the four messages of the Connected Families Framework, even in the middle of challenging behavior.
Topics include:
Understanding what's happening beneath behavior
Connecting before correcting
Responding with empathy
Coaching children toward wisdom
Guiding children toward responsibility and reconciliation
Format: Online group
Grace & Truth for Moms
For moms who want to discover how God's grace and truth can transform the way they see themselves, their children, and their calling as mothers.
Together, we'll explore how our own fears, shame, expectations, and struggles can affect the way we parent and how we can parent from our identity in Christ rather than from striving or discouragement.
Format: Online group
Sensitive & Intense Kids
For parents of children who experience emotions deeply, react intensely, or seem especially sensitive to the world around them.
This group helps parents better understand their child's intensity and learn practical ways to connect, support regulation, and guide children toward healthy growth and responsibility.
Format: Online group
Group coaching is more than watching a class or listening to a presentation. You'll have the opportunity to learn, reflect, ask questions, and connect with other parents who understand the challenges of parenting.
Each group includes:
Teaching
Practical, biblically grounded teaching you can apply to everyday parenting.
Discussion & Encouragement
An opportunity to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from other parents.
Practical Tools
Simple strategies to help you respond differently when parenting gets hard.
Real-Life Application
Time to think through how the ideas apply to your own family.
I want you to leave each session with hope, encouragement, and something practical you can try.
What to Expect
Groups for Churches,
Schools, and Organizations
Bring a Parenting Group to Your Community
Would you like to offer parents in your church, school, or organization an opportunity to grow together?
I am available to facilitate parenting groups (in-person throughout the Twin Cities area or online) for churches, schools, ministries, and organizations.
Groups can be a meaningful way to provide parents with practical tools, encouragement, and a place to learn alongside others.
What Parents Are Saying
“Normally my daughter is chaotic and uncooperative. But today was different. She was regulated, checking in and listening. I was trying to figure out what was different, and I realized it was me.
I’ve been different—connecting with her, helping her feel safe and loved instead of trying to control her. I have been better regulated and not worrying if she is going to have a meltdown because I recognize that the way she acts is not about me.
This was a huge takeaway for me. God created my daughter and loves her, and I am able to delight in her again and see her for the wonder and gift that she is.”
— Julia, mom of three, Sensitive and Intense Kids group
Parents who have participated
in my groups have shared...
“Thank you so much, Pam. I’m grateful for this healing experience with you and my church friends. God is so gracious. This came at such an important time when I was feeling so alone and clueless about motherhood. This was such wonderful support for me, and I learned a ton. Thanks for all the great resources and for all of your energy and time you put into this.”
— Logan, mom of three young children, Grace and Truth for Moms
