Children are not broken. They need skills.
I teach parents and professionals to calm big emotions, reduce power struggles, and change patterns.
Real life application.

Parents do not need more advice. They need tools they can actually use in the moment. I translate evidence based psychology into clear teachable skills so families can move from crisis management to confidence.

Great parents are still humans. Just like us, our parents were doing the best they could. They taught us the skills we will teach our children. And there may be knowledge gaps because there is no universal curriculum or rubric to follow, yet.

Children do not need fixing. They also don't need to be reminded about what they are doing wrong or to be told "no" more often. They likely know the rules they just can't follow them or ask for the help they need because they don't know how.
When adults know the skills teach, they can teach them to children.
These skills aren't traditionally taught in homes or schools.
This isn't a flaw or failing. It's a matter of what our parents and teachers knew.
I have seen these skills change lives.
