Your talk is clear and organized while being candid and comforting. It's what parents like me need to hear. It also makes good sense as we've been poised for an entirely new approach. This one fits with us and gives me hope. I only wish more helpful info is soon to come!

Mother of 2 boysThe "Tantrum" audio was amazing and I am already putting it to work with my 4 year old and 18 month old.

Mother of twoHonestly, where before I felt like I was in a stand off, now I gently try to help them diffuse their anger by trying to articulate what they're going through. It's like MAGIC. Why didn't I know about this before?? And that just enables us to get through the tantrum in a manageable way.

Mother of 2 boysYour feedback was practical, kind and completely welcome! And I’ve left our chat feeling reassured that I can trust my own instincts on how to respond to my son’s separation anxiety.
