From Chaos To Calm For Frazzled Parents Are you stressed out & exhausted? Do you wish you had the “magic answer” to make things better? Family dynamics are complex, especially when you have a demanding child. The constant baiting, button-pushing and limit-testing pushes you over the edge until you’re angry and yelling, then filled with a heavy, burdensome guilt. You want to enjoy spending time with your child but instead you feel disrespected and like you are living in a war zone. It’s time to regain your authority – and your sanity! As a Certified Parent Coach I work with Moms and Dads just like you – parents who are tired of the struggle and ready to change! As a smart, intentional parent, I know you have done everything you can think of to improve your child’s behavior. You’ve read books and blogs, attended seminars, and talked to the Doctors, Therapists and Teachers. Yet in this process of searching and investing time, energy and money it seems like nobody’s advice actually works for YOUR child. When you have an intense, strong-willed, or spirited child, traditional parenting techniques don’t work. This is because your child’s brain is wired to test and see if they can “win.” It’s like there’s a Little Scientist in their brain with an artillery of tactics to try and wear you down and get their way. You are not failing, traditional methods are failing you and your child! My approach is based on the understanding that intense children have a brain with an over-active “Fight or Flight” stress response. This means their brain is flooded with stress chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol, which causes them to over-react, misbehave and seek control. The flood of chemicals and escalating behaviors create a “fire in the brain,” making it difficult (or impossible!) for your child to exhibit self-control. My mission is to change your home from chaos to calm by teaching YOU cutting-edge strategies to help “put out the fire.”
