"Todd does something delicate and rare. He brings great depth, genuine expertise and practical advice and yet balances this with compassion and humility. In a field where so many parenting 'experts' unwittingly leave a parent feeling inadequate, Todd empowers."
What Makes Transformative Parenting different?
We don't believe that parenting is meant to be about using tricks and techniques when something goes wrong, it's about loving your children and doing what it takes to avoid most problems in the first place.
And we know that parenting "experts" aren't the answer for your child, you are. We are simply Guides who walk you through our three-step process of learning how to be the parent you really want to be.
The Transformative Parenting Process involves these three steps:
Step One: Attachment & Connection
The main factor in how children behave and grow into their greatest potential is how secure they feel in their family relationships. We help parents learn how to make sure their children get their emotional and psychological needs met... which also leads to much better behavior.
Step Two: Environment & Structure
It is also important to understand the power of the right environment and structure for your family. We teach parents how simplifying your home environment, creating daily rituals and clearly establishing family rules and expectations also improves behavior and leads to less stress.
Step Three: Discipline & Behavior
By the time you reach this phase in our process, you'll notice that difficult behaviors are much more rare...but they still happen sometimes. We help parents understand why these behaviors are happening and teach them effective strategies for responding to them that help your child to grow.

"Todd is one of the most intuitive, instructive and down to earth practitioners I know. His classes always get rave reviews. Most importantly, he leaves parents with reassurance and direction. The toughest part about educating parents is making sure that they leave with practical, enforceable and realistic solutions for their particular family. Todd delivers in spades."

The Trouble with Time Outs [Article]
Children who are acting out are trying to tell us that something is wrong. Usually they are feeling disconnected or struggling with some difficult feelings. Using time-outs can communicate to a child that when he is in need, we will answer his pleas for connection with the exact opposite of what he is asking for.

About Todd Sarner, MA.
From an early age, I wanted to be a Psychotherapist and work with kids. However, over time, I felt more and more strongly that in most cases the most effective and long-term solution to most issues with children were better solved by helping their parents. With Transformative Parenting, I am not providing psychotherapy, I am providing the very best of Parent Coaching and Education so parents can be who their children need them to be.
