Certified Aware Parenting Instructors
There are over 100 certified Aware Parenting instructors in 24 countries who have been certified to teach the philosophy of Aware Parenting described in Aletha Solter's six books: The Aware Baby, Cooperative and Connected, Tears and Tantrums, Raising Drug-Free Kids, Attachment Play, and Healing Your Traumatized Child.
This page lists all the countries where there is at least one certified Aware Parenting instructor. However, only the names of the regional coordinators and other Level 2 instructors are listed here. Please click on the links for each country for more information about Aware Parenting in those countries.
The names with a small red star indicate Level 2 instructors. These instructors have met additional requirements beyond the basic certification requirements. They are certified to offer workshops that meet the workshop requirement for people who wish to become certified.
The names with a big red star are the regional coordinators. These are Level 2 instructors who have permission not only to offer workshops that meet the workshop requirement but also to certify people in their country or region.

Please note that the instructors work entirely independently. Aletha Solter has given them permission to teach this approach to parents, but they are not employees or subcontractors of the Aware Parenting Institute. Their advice should be carefully evaluated for your personal situation. Aletha Solter and the Aware Parenting Institute shall have neither liability nor responsibility to any person or entity with respect to any damage caused, or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly, by any advice from these instructors. Furthermore, they have not been certified by Aletha Solter to give medical advice or to do therapy with adults or children, although some of them have additional credentials as medical professionals or psychotherapists. If you consult with them for anything other than Aware Parenting information and support, please check their credentials and references, as you would for any other professional.
