Kiva Schuler

Kiva Schuler is the Founder and CEO of the Jai Institute for Parenting, an organization that has trained over 1000 parenting coaches globally. She is also the author of the ground-breaking book The Peaceful Parenting (R)evolution: Changing the World by Changing How We Parent which turns traditional parenting “techniques” on their heads with a parent-centric approach instead of behavior modification. Her passion for parenting stemmed from her own childhood experiences of neglect and trauma. Like many of her generation, she had a front row seat to witnessing what she did not want for her own children.

The Jai Institute is the fulfillment of a promise that she made to herself when she was 16 years old that when she had children of her own, she would learn to parent them with compassion, consistency and communication. Allowing others to carry the torch of a transformational movement for parents has created ripples of impact around the world.
