Good-enough parenting works for other kids, but somehow...
good enough just isn’t enough for this one.
It's your dream to be the gentle guide as your children grow and mature, but emotionally sensitive children need… more.
Learn what more looks like, in just 30 minutes a week ↓
Your child is the center of your world…
They are intelligent, empathic, curious, and determined.
You look into their eyes and see their beauty and strength.
But parenting them is not easy.
Their explosive reactions make it feel impossible to problem-solve or help them calm down.
Their emotional responses are out of whack — and in turn, so are yours (which you hate).
Their defiance and rigidity get them in trouble. Again and again and again.
Center of your world, but also, eye of the storm.
Every day feels like an emotional roller coaster…
Your child has a meltdown and refuses to be flexible at the exact moment when you need their cooperation ➡
The behavior snowballs, impacting other family members ➡
your heart rate soars, your anger flares…
You need them to calm down.
Behave.
Function within the day-to-day basics.
Stop overreacting.
Stop being so needy, manipulative, and attention-seeking.
Managing high levels of stress and anxiety around the clock is eating away at you and impacting your family .
You find yourself constantly set off by your child. And you wish it would just stop. It needs to stop.
But why are they like this?
Because your child experiences the world more intensely.
There is nothing inherently wrong with them at all.
In fact, highly sensitive children are often gifted: They have the capacity to understand and interact with the world in a deep, meaningful way.
But without the right tools, parenting children with big emotions can be extremely challenging, if not impossible. That intuitive good-enough parenting that works for the other kids? It can actually cause mental health struggles for kids with big emotions. Gulp.
If you feel like you’re failing your child…
if you wish your child had been born with a different personality…
if you’ve lost hope for things to ever change…
you are not alone.
You have invested so much in trying to help your child.
You desperately want them to feel good about themselves, to feel loved, and to have an easier time interacting with the world around them — including you and your family.
And with the tools taught in Power Parenting you can get them there.
Imagine if you could:
Understand your child’s inner world (and know how to communicate to get through to them in times of distress)
React confidently and calmly to your child’s big emotions (and stay in control of what you say or do, no matter what they say or do)
Know how to help your child manage their emotions (and stop feeling overwhelmed and at a loss of what to do when they lose it)
Teach your child how to calm their body (and help them feel good about themselves and in control of their reactions)
Finally enable your child to shine (and taste the sweet, sweet taste of success)
You CAN. And you’ll learn everything you need to know inside
POWER PARENTING
MASTERING BIG EMOTIONS
Parenting a child with big emotions doesn't have to feel impossible. In this course, you'll learn the tools to be “that parent,” the one who knows, with confidence, exactly what to do when their child’s behavior is out of control.
“Very practical, doable, and mapped out without losing the very human, caring angle.” — Power Parenting Member
You will discover how to…
✔ Skillfully coach your child for more effective behavior.
✔ Validate your child in a way that opens the door for change.
✔ Decrease your child’s risk for mental health problems in the long term.
Most of all, you’ll gain ALL the knowledge, understanding, and tools you need to become the parent you’ve dreamed of being — with the ability to make choices you’re proud of in every single scenario.
Ok, but how is this course different from all the other parenting courses out there?
This course is not:
generic parenting advice
anecdotal parenting methods based on what worked for someone else’s kids.
A parenting “method” that will need to be strictly followed in order to see success, without your understanding of the core principles behind the strategies,
It’s a course built on the DBT-C model, taught by a clinical psychologist who is extensively trained in CBT, DBT, and other third-wave CBT models, and trained by the developer of DBT for children (DBT-C).
It’s a course that teaches you – the parent of a sensitive child – a parenting model with a proven track-record so you can become the guide your child needs to thrive. You don't just get the skills – you get the evidence-based principles of DBT as it applies to sensitive children so you will know how to adjust and respond to any situation that arises as they grow.
YOU, not a therapist, can be your child’s most trusted adult.
YOU, not a therapist, can help your child cope.
This course will teach you how.
44.9% more children
saw results of “much improved” or “very much improved” after DBT-C treatment
vs those treated with other standard treatments.
Perepletchikova, et al. 2011
In Power Parenting, you’ll learn the DBT for children (DBT-C) model: a combination of the DBT method with parent training — a potent, effective parenting method.

Your child is intensssse.
On a typical day, you’re navigating overwhelming explosions, unpredictable behavior, and extreme mood swings.
You never know what might trigger an emotional response from your child.
For 9-year-old Yitz, it’s slamming doors and kicking chairs if there’s a meal he doesn’t want to eat.
For 7-year-old Dina Leah, it’s violence when a sibling touches her stuff.
For 11-year-old Debbie, it’s incessant whining, wheedling, and manipulating if her schedule is delayed.
And for 5-year-old Chezky, just a missing shoe can trigger all of the above reactions.
It eats away at you, but even more sadly, it erodes their own self-esteem.
You want to help your child regulate their intense emotions so they can express themselves more effectively and enjoy healthy relationships and robust self-worth.
This course charts the path for you to bring your child there.
