LIFE CHANGING STORIES

From Real Parents Just Like You

Quote bubble with nectarine background Adrienne | Mom of 1

Hey! I just wanted to say that validating my child's feelings has been incredibly life-altering for our relationship. I didn't realize how much like me my daughter was and how that mindset shift would really help us connect better (she's 3.5yrs). Thank you so much for your course and all it offers. I also wanted to say that the validating has also been really impactful for me as well. I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks, trying to convince myself I was okay wasn't working, once I started validating my own feelings, it has actually decreased the panic attack! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do in this community, you are valued.

Quote bubble with red background Azul | Mom of 1

Your course has brought back the patience that I lost as a result of the pandemic and my son starting virtual kindergarten. I appreciate all the information in the course (I'm not done yet). My son was having a hard time listening in school and I appreciate the script you shared "It's hard to listen, what's going on?" Thank you for giving me the peace and patience I needed!

Quote bubble with pink background Becca | Mom of 2

My husband and I LOVE it!! It has been very beneficial for both of us! Currently, the thing that I think about daily when parenting our kids is the "flipping their lid" analogy, and where they are at with brain development. It has helped me in the heat of their emotional moments to co-regulate with them and meet their true need rather than reacting to the emotion/behaviour. I have learned a lot about my own triggers, and have been putting into practice being their calm. It's been amazing to see the difference in them, especially during these trying times where we could be dealing with so many more meltdowns.

Quote bubble with yellow background Haley | Mom of 1

Loving your course so far! I can see all of the care and intention that went into it and can imagine how vulnerable it feels. Your resources have helped me to be the mom I've always wanted to be.

Quote bubble with green background Hannah | Mom of 2

I ended up getting a cheaper course, but kept coming back to the fact that we were getting so triggered and also needed to understand our daughterโ€™s hitting more because it started happening to everyone, not just our baby at the time. It's been about 4 months since we've taken your course, and honestly it's changed our lives. I didn't fully get how to "get curious" before your course and it helped us find out why she was actually hitting. When we actually knew how to get curious, we followed your advice and taught her the skills she needed to ask for a break and, like you say, proactively help her. She's doing SO much better with the hitting, and nothing else was helping. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Quote bubble with blue background Sydney | Mom of 1

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much your courses have literally changed the course of my life. I remember having my son and feeling clueless, knowing I wanted to surround him with love and patience but not having any prior knowledge on even how to do those things. I already have found myself "getting curious" and just thinking before I act. Thank you so much for helping to instill the confidence I thought I would never have with my parenting and even pushing me to take care of my own mental health so I can be a better mom to my son!!

Quote bubble with nectarine background Laura | Mom of 1

Hey!! I just wanted to let you know how your course has changed our family. At first I didn't see much of a change. Our two-year-old was still having meltdowns, so I thought I had failed. But then he would look at me and say he was sad and he was crying; basically, now that he can tell me what he's feeling his meltdowns don't come as often and don't last as long!! Also me trying to remain calm in his chaos has helped tremendously!! I never knew these littles can't regulate their feelings at this early stage, but totally makes sense!!!

Quote bubble with red background Katie | Mom of 2

I loved how in your course, you used real examples and the challenging ones. Not throwing a ball inside is an easy limit to set, and that's what I feel most other parenting experts use. When you relate and show your real self, using real examples of your life โ€” that is so helpful for me.

Quote bubble with pink background Katherine | Mom of 1

I thought it was really great! Enjoyed the layout a lot as it makes it easy to go back to reference. It was so helpful to listen to with my husband because it sparked a lot of great conversations about the differences in the way we were raised and how we want to raise our son. He was skeptical if we "needed it" before I bought the course, but he was really happy we did it afterwards.

A REAL FAMILY MAKING CHANGE

Emilyโ€™s Story

Emily struggled with her son's sleep for years, who is now eight years old. Here is her sleep story.

A small child in a striped green and white shirt reaches out to touch a collection of colorful heart-shaped objects on a wall. The hearts vary in size and design, including patterns and solid colors, like red, blue, yellow, and green. The child's face is turned away from the camera, focusing on the hearts, suggesting engagement in a playful learning or creative activity.

Dad of 1

I wondered if it was too lateโ€ฆ

My husband travelled for work, and our bedtime routine got harder and harder. To the point where my son wouldnโ€™t sleep without me. He is 8. I questioned whether things were too far gone or if weโ€™d need to co-sleep forever.

Dad of 1

Just one night and I saw change!

Tonight, I did the Connected Hearts. And oh my, the way it melted his heart...beyond words. Since heโ€™s 8, I was able to talk to him about his fears, worries, etc. He listened. Seeing how much my effort to feel close to him already made him feel safe in just one night means the world. I already know bedtime will be easier moving forward.

Dad of 1

Itโ€™s what we both needed.

This approach was exactly what my son and I needed. He loved knowing I was coming back to check on him, and it left both of us feeling so much better than the old bedtime struggle we were having for years. I feel like we are working through a solution that makes sense. Thank you so much for your advice!!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course?

For a lifetime! We offer this for two reasons:

Parents are often busy and tired. You need to be able to access this course when you find the time and energy! Children's needs and struggles change as they develop! You can skip ahead to the lessons you need right now and come back for the rest when you need it!

What age is this course useful for?

This course is designed for parents and caregivers of children ages 3 to 9 years old. This developmental window is when many children struggle most with anger management and emotional regulation.

How long does this course take to complete?

The course contains over 1 hour of video material broken down into bite-sized videos (each between 1-4 minutes long). Skip ahead to any lesson you need and go back to the other lessons when you need them!

Is anger in children normal?

Yes! Anger is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences. What matters is how that anger is expressed. Children ages 2-5 are in the most aggressive stage of development. By ages 5-7, most children begin to develop better emotional regulation skills. This course helps you understand what's developmentally appropriate while giving you tools to help your child express anger in healthier ways.

This course is designed with all types of children in mind, including those who are highly sensitive! Our approach focuses on understanding your child's unique needs so you're able to use our strategies in a way that works for your child.

My child seems fine at school but explodes at home. Will this course help?

Absolutely! It's very common for children to "hold it together" at school and then release their emotions at home where they feel safe. The course includes specific strategies for this situation and explains why it happens.

Is the course self-paced, or do I have to watch it at a certain time?

The course is completely self-paced. Once you sign up, you'll have access to all the material and can go through it on your own time, at your own speed. And you can revisit the content whenever you need it for years to come!
