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.​

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 and overwhelm.

Step Three: Discipline & Behavior

By the time our clients reach this phase in our process, they report 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 and relationship-friendly strategies for responding to them.

The Trouble with Time Outs [Article]

Children who are acting out are trying to tell us that something is wrong. They might not even know what it is, but their behavior tells us. Usually they are feeling disconnected or struggling with some difficult feelings. Using separation-based discipline like time-outs tells 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.
