Parenting & Family

Emotion Coaching for Kids

Learn how to teach your kids to manage their emotions more effectively, to self-soothe, and to respond to your guidance as a parent with fewer meltdowns and tantrums.

Challenging Teen at Home? The Parent Project may be for you.

Are you the parent of an “out of control” teenager?  Do the discipline strategies that seem to work for your other children or the children of friends seem to be completely ineffective with your strong-willed child?  There is hope.  If you are willing to invest some time and energy, the Parent Project Class may be your solution.  I will be honest.  It’s not easy, and it will take some time, but it’s a proven method for successfully parenting your strong-willed child and helping them become productive adults.  I am a certified Parent Project trainer and offer courses throughout the year based on the level of interest/need.  You can visit www.parentproject.com for more information on the program.

Having difficulties with a strong-willed child does not make you a bad parent; it just means you need some support and new ideas to help you get the results you desire.  Join us for the next parent project class and you’ll find that you are not alone in your journey as a loving parent of a strong-willed child.
