Trauma-informed parenting coaching for families navigating meltdowns, overwhelm and emotionally intense children.
THE POSITIVE PARENT COACH®
Does Parenting Feel Harder Than You Expected?
Do any of these sound familiar?
Your child goes from calm to explosive in seconds
Small moments turn into big emotional reactions
Power struggles and meltdowns feel constant
Nothing seems to work in the moment — consequences, rewards, reasoning
You know what you want to do, but can’t access it when emotions run high
By the end of the day, you feel drained, overstimulated and questioning yourself
If this resonates, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. It’s often a sign that big emotions, nervous system overwhelm, and unmet needs are driving behaviour, for both children and parents.
How Parenting Coaching Can Help
I support parents who feel stuck in cycles of reactivity, emotional overwhelm and self-doubt, even when they’re loving, thoughtful and trying their best.
Together, we work to:
Understand what’s really driving your child’s behaviour
Help you stay grounded and regulated in intense moments
Reduce meltdowns, shouting and guilt
Build cooperation, emotional safety and confidence at home
Many families I support discover that traditional parenting advice hasn’t worked because it doesn’t address the root of the challenges their child is facing. Whether a child has a diagnosis or not, approaches that support emotional regulation and the nervous system are often what make the biggest difference.
My approach goes beyond surface-level behaviour management and focuses on emotional regulation, nervous system support and practical, in-the-moment strategies — without punishments or quick fixes that don’t last.
Why Traditional Parenting Advice Often Doesn’t Work
Many parents arrive here feeling confused and frustrated. Not because they haven’t tried hard enough, but because most parenting advice focuses on behaviour alone, or doesn’t walk parents through the skills they need to take that pause before reacting.
When emotions escalate, children aren’t choosing to “misbehave”. Their nervous systems are overwhelmed. And when parents are exhausted, overstimulated or triggered themselves, staying calm can feel impossible.
Lasting change happens when we support:
Emotional regulation (for both parent and child)
The nervous system
Connection and felt safety
This is where my approach is different.
Whether a child has a diagnosis or not, parenting support that addresses emotional regulation and the nervous system often creates the biggest shifts — reducing meltdowns, increasing cooperation and helping parents feel calmer and more confident.
My Approach Focuses On
Understanding what behaviour is communicating
Helping parents stay grounded in intense moments
Teaching children emotional regulation skills over time
Creating clear, compassionate boundaries
Supporting the nervous system, not just managing behaviour
