Get Kids to Listen without Yelling or Nagging

We all want to raise respectful, responsible kids…

But sometimes it's just SO hard to get them to make good choices!

The good news? Parenting becomes MUCH easier when you understand the psychology driving a child's behaviour. Misbehaviour is just your child's misguided attempt to meet a need. When you can find the need beneath their misbehaviour, you can help your child meet their needs in respectful and responsible ways instead.

(Changing behaviour without addressing the root cause is a bit like treating a broken arm with Tylenol. It doesn't work for long.)

The bonus? When you help kids address the need beneath their behaviour, you also give them confidence that their needs matter and equip them with critical problem-solving skills. Plus, each misbehaviour becomes an opportunity to get to know your child better and strengthen your connection.

In pre-recorded workshop below, you'll learn how to:

  • Figure out the need beneath misbehaviour

  • Guide kids to meet their needs in constructive ways

  • Use misbehaviour to bring you and your child closer together

  • Hold firm boundaries

  • Regulate your own big emotions

  • Use your own values to guide confident parenting choices
