I always start my parent equipping sessions with the same question:
“Give me ONE win… no matter how small.” ❤️
Two of my families who have children with VERY challenging meltdowns and resistance shared that over the last two weeks… the meltdowns significantly decreased. Why? Because they implemented ONE strategy.
Now listen… I give families LOTS of strategies 😂
But they picked ONE simple, practical, doable thing and actually used it consistently.
And in their own words:
“I did _____ and saw a significant decrease in meltdowns.”
Y’ALL. I was sooooo happy!!!!
And this happened FAST… within TWO WEEKS.
The families who come to me are not parents who “haven’t tried enough.”
These are intentional, exhausted, loving parents who have flipped over EVERY rock looking for answers.
They’ve tried:
• play therapy
• counseling
• ABA therapy
• medication
• reward charts
• consequences
• all the things
And yet… ONE strategy helped reduce meltdowns. COME ON!!!! 🙌
I actually started as a learning therapist and ended up becoming a behavior therapist because no one could tell me what to do with one of my own children. The “experts” had no answers for us. Don’t even get me started on some of the things I allowed professionals to do because I was desperate for help.
So… I learned.
I researched.
I practiced.
And guess what? It worked.
Now I spend my time equipping parents online when tough love, soft love, sticker charts, lectures, and “just count to 10” are NOT working.
I’ve worked with some VERY challenging behaviors. And families leave my program with:
✔️ answers
✔️ practical tools
✔️ understanding
✔️ hope
Because every child, teen, and young adult WANTS to do well.
But if you don’t address the FIVE central areas that affect behavior, executive function, emotional regulation, and learning… you stay stuck.
You need tools rooted in:
🧠 brain profile
💪 the body
🏡 the environment
❤️ nervous system regulation
📚 practical research-based strategies
Not just “take deep breaths.” 😅
As a mom and a learning & behavior therapist, I do whatever it takes to equip families… because WE were that family.
And that makes this deeply personal to me. ❤️
