When good enough parenting is not enough.
You’re trying to help your big feeler child grow into their potential.
But nothing seems to be working.
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.
Sometimes it feels like you’re living a nightmare — every day.
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 your internal reserves of patience and impacting family life.
You find yourself constantly set off by your child. And it needs to stop.
But why are they like this?
Because your child experiences the world more intensely.
There is nothing wrong with them.
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. In fact, “good-enough parenting” that works well with other children can set up kids with big emotions for a lifetime of mental health struggles.
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 okay and loved, to behave more effectively, 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
You CAN. And you’ll learn everything you need to know inside

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 - for the long-term. 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

Your child is intense.
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. It could be a meal they don’t want to eat, a sibling who took their things, a delayed schedule, or a missing shoe.
You know they have the depth and sensitivity to build deep, meaningful relationships with their family members and peers, but their intense emotional responses chip away at their relationships and are seriously starting to erode the way they view themselves.
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.
