DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You really want a peaceful connected family, but... you are feeling frustrated.
All the posts, blogs and books on theories are great, but it doesn't seem to translate in the moment.
It feels like you know enough about positive parenting, but you keep yelling. You've read books and listened to podcasts on parenting, you may have even bought a course. But it just isn't working . Ugh!
​
You're likely trying to parent differently than your parents, so you're learning things like emotion regulation + boundaries for the first time while trying to teach them to your kids...
​
...WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE PUTTING TOGETHER AN AIRPLANE WHILE IT'S FLYING.
Your strong willed, deeply feeling kid's behavior is relentless and exhausting.
​
How do you get your child to cooperate without resorting to yelling, blame and shame? All you want is to reduce the meltdowns and power struggles...or to go to school and bed without a struggle...Is that so much to ask?

Testimonials
My strong willed 6-year-old resisted everything I told her so we were in near constant power struggles it seemed. Ugh! Lots of yelling from both of us. No consistency on my end as I hated setting limits that caused more fighting. I felt like I couldn't win. Her dad would get involved and it would get worse when he dominated her. Now I know why all this was happening, about the determined nature she was born with, how I was contributing to the conflicts and the empowering part...how to shift to get her buy in so we could work together. Wow, what a difference. I would look forward to the Zooms every week. We still have some hard moments because her nature is the same, but I'm able to see it differently. If I get triggered now, I can recognize my body signs sooner, and not lose my cool at her. I can do a U turn and figure out what's going on with me. The incredible part is that she's starting to watch me and do the same. So cool!
Gina / Mom of 2 / Seattle, WA
Parenting is such a personal thing. I hesitated to start this group for an embarrassing reason, my own ego to admit I needed help. I felt ashamed, how could I not be good at something that was supposed to come naturally. So I was just getting by, even though there were tons of meltdowns, power struggles and sibling fighting. Then I saw your tag line, 'It doesn't have to be so hard' and that's when I knew that I was ready for help. Now I have these proven things that I can use. Why did I wait so long! And I have my checklists and scripts I can go back to if I need to, but just encouragement and support from Allison was the best thing for me. I hear her voice in my head, "No one's wrong. How can we relate here?'
Susie / Mom of 3 / Santa Cruz, CA
I wasn't sure this would be right for me and did I even have a deeply feeling kid? My son is super anxious and going to school is a constant struggle. Especially after the Covid break, he kept saying he had a stomach ache and wouldn't go. Worse I'm getting in trouble with the school for him not going. I tried everything to convince him, bribe him, threaten him...nothing worked...until I started coaching with Allison. She showed me the steps to validate my son so he didn't feel alone in his anxiety. Turns out I was making him feel anxious about feeling anxious! Ugh! Now I have the skills to relate with his deep emotions and he's going to school again. What a relief to work with someone who knew how to support us turn things around. Joining the group coaching is the best decision I ever made and since they are recorded, I could show my husband so we could both learn and be on the same page.
