My New Parenting Group Might Be Exactly What You’ve Been Waiting For

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my upcoming group class, “Parenting Sensitive and Spirited Kids Without Losing Your Mind,” starting September 24th — so I thought I’d answer the most common ones all in one place.

1. What if my child isn’t “sensitive” or “spirited”?

Many parents join because their child is strong-willed, highly emotional, or just seems harder to parent than they expected. If your child is intense in any way — or if you’re tired of constant battles — this class will give you tools that work.

2. What if I can’t make a live session?

Every session is recorded so you can watch at your own pace. Many parents catch up later that evening or during the weekend.

3. Will this just be about “being nice” to my kids?

Not at all. This is about peaceful boundaries, emotional regulation, and cooperation — without power struggles or yelling. We’ll talk about practical, real-life strategies you can use immediately.

4. Will it work for older and younger kids?

Yes.  While our focus will be kids ages 5-12, the principles apply from toddlers to teens — because it’s about connection, communication, and respect.

5. I’ve tried parenting books before… how is this different?

Books can be great, but they can’t answer your specific questions or coach you through tricky moments. This is an interactive group, so you’ll get feedback, support, and encouragement tailored to your family.

If you’re ready to go from daily meltdowns and constant battles to more peace, cooperation, and connection, this class is for you.

💛 We start September 24th — spots are limited, so grab yours now.
