Are you fed up with having constant power struggles with your intense child?
Obviously. And that's totally normal.

Does any of this sound familiar?
- Your child throws massive tantrums, and nothing seems to calm them down.
- You have tried rewards and punishments, but nothing changed.
- You find yourself losing patience because your child will not follow directions.
- You feel like you have to walk on eggshells around your child so that you do not set them off.
- You find yourself parenting in a way that does not feel good to you, or is not the way you wanted to parent your child.
- Your child's school says that your child is great, but you are not seeing that at home.
- Your child seems stressed or anxious, but they are not willing to talk to you about it.
It is natural to feel this way. You are NOT a bad parent. And you do NOT have a bad kid.

What happens when we work together?
What happens when we work together?
You will feel compassionate and patient. You will build mutually-respectful relationships with your intense kid. You will be able to set drama-free limits with confidence, knowing that you are keeping your child safe without hurting your child's curiosity.
Your home will become a peaceful place. There will be more talking and less yelling. Conflict will become a healthy process of different but good ideas competing in order to birth a better, more inclusive idea.
Your child will develop a higher Emotional Quotient (EQ). Your family will be able to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.
Your child will become mindful and more open with you. They won’t feel judged at home, so they will not shy away from being who they truly are; from finding themselves and their purpose in life.
Your child will listen to you - not because they are trying to impress you, but because they want to understand you. Your child will notice you are more interested in understanding their position. They follow your lead out of respect and admiration as opposed to fearing your overreaction if they do not agree with your position.
You will have great conversations with your kids. Deep, meaningful conversations boost kids’ cognition and their overall development. Your child will show fewer signs of aggression and they will easily form friendships.

Amy is a wonder of a practitioner, which I can attest to because my daughter has grown so much with Amy's support over the past 4.5 years. She's also offered me invaluable parenting guidance as I've navigated a range of struggles with effectively parenting my daughter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
That feels like a big investment!
It IS an investment. However, parent coaching is less expensive than long-term therapy for you and your child. A few sessions of parent coaching can be enough to get things back on track. AND, I'll be there to support you between coaching sessions.
Shouldn't I be able to figure this out on my own?
Parenting is hard. And intense kids do not come with a manual. You can read all of the books and still not be sure how to apply them to your situation. That's where I come in - I have an extensive background in child development and mental health, and I can help you create strategies and routines that work, that you can use consistently.
I've already read all of the books. Are you going to teach me something new?
I have read all of the books, too. And sometimes it helps to have someone who can just cut to the chase, and give you the information that you need. Also, the books don't tell you when to change approaches and when to stay the course, which can leave you (and your intense child!) feeling confused and helpless. Let me partner with you to take the guess work out of parenting.
Maybe I'll wait to see if my child grows out of this...
I'm going to be honest. If you do not change the way that you're relating to your intense child, things are unlikely to improve. Why wait until your family is in crisis? Let's boost your parenting skills now, so that you feel confident to handle the ups and downs that the future will bring.
