Dear Parent, 

 

If you’re reading this, I already know two things about you. I’ll start with the second one…(don’t worry, I’ll tell you the first in a moment).

 

You’re here because you want to be the best parent you can be.

 

And I’m guessing this is not your first time searching for answers to questions like:

  • Is it possible to have a peaceful, gentle, loving relationship with my teen?
  • How do I talk to a teen who is always triggered--even by the slightest of situations?
  • After all the work I’ve put in, why does it feel like almost everything I do is wrong?

Great news! I’m here because I want this to be your last search.

 

The problem with parenting advice in books and on the Internet is that, even if it’s sound advice, it’s just that.

 

For example, here’s some good advice: listen to your teen...really listen.

 

Great. 

 

But what does that actually look like when you’re getting doors slammed in your face and hateful words yelled at you? Listening in those moments doesn’t seem to do much good, does it?

 

What if I told you it’s possible to eliminate the door-slamming, yelling, meltdown moments that seem so inevitable with teenagers?

 

It is possible…

 

But it’s going to take more than a fortune-cookie’s worth of advice.

 

It takes an investment of commitment, time, and love--which I know is no problem for you…

 

Because here’s the first and most important thing I know about you:

 

You love your child with all your heart and want the best for them!

 

Which is why you’re on this page right now. Because you love your child.

 

I’m about to show you how to access the last and ONLY parenting toolkit you’ll ever need…

 

But first, let’s make sure you’re in exactly the right place….

  • Your relationship with your child has shifted as they’ve gotten older, leaving you feeling distant and disconnected... 
  • Your son or daughter struggles with anxiety, shyness and communication, and you aren’t sure what you can do or how to help
  • Sometimes blowups happen when you don’t expect them at all, and emotions can get out of control surprisingly randomly or quickly 
  • You hear “I hate you”(or other equivalent language) more often than you would like
  • You are often “on edge” with your kids, even when things seem to be going well 
  • You sometimes feel like you are having the same fight every weekend
  • You sometimes feel like a “bad parent” because you don’t always know how to give your child what they need to thrive
  • You feel disconnected and disempowered from the world your child lives in, and feel like you have very little control over their life… 

...to any of those as you read, then chances are, there are some destructive patterns wreaking havoc in your family. 

 

Some of these might seem more serious than others, but all of them are symptoms of an underlying problem which is really quite simple. 

 

What is that simple, underlying problem? 

 

Bad communication habits. 

 

It’s that simple. And it’s that complex.

 

The trouble is--most of us got our communication habits from our parents, who got theirs from their parents, and so on.

 

These communication habits are deeply ingrained patterns, and it takes an act of courage and determination to blaze a new trail for the good of yourself and the betterment of your family.

 

It’s hard work. But it’s totally worth it.

 

Are you up for it?

 

Let me encourage you by telling you that with the help of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience...you DO have the power to change these challenging behaviors:

  • Your son or daughter rolls their eyes at almost everything you say 
  • Your son or daughter struggles in school or won’t do their homework 
  • Your son or daughter constantly breaks curfew
  • Your son or daughter won’t take their earbuds out or stop staring at their phone long enough to listen to you 
  • You’ve tried calming techniques such as contact sports, counseling or family discussions, but they aren’t as effective as you would like them to be, or the changes are only temporary before they go back to the old ways and you’re stuck starting over again
  • You yell at your kids more often than you would like (it’s okay--we’ve all done it before)
  • You worry about the amount of time your kids spend “glued to a screen,” but bringing it up doesn’t end well 
  • Your kids often fight with each other over things they should be able to resolve easily...or at a minimum without conflict
  • You have to ask over and over again until you’re blue in the face for simple chores or tasks to get done 
  • You ask a simple question...“why did you do that?”... and it turns into a fight 

It’s pretty shocking to think about and actually add up all the hours out of the week you spend in a stressed out fight or flight mode because of these behaviors. 

 

It’s even more shocking to think that these are just the patterns and habits of most families all over the world.

 

So you might be wondering now…

This is where we come back to the word I dropped a moment ago…neuroscience. 

 

See, people used to think the brain was like a machine-- you pull a lever, or push a button and get a certain result. 

 

Or the more modern version of this is thinking the brain is like a computer. 

 

However, new neuroscience is revealing how the brain is far more complex and multifaceted than we ever imagined in the past. 

 

In actuality, the brain is more like a garden. 

 

You plant seeds, water them and watch them grow. 

 

And just like a garden, there are sometimes weeds that come up… you can pull them up, but they will come back again and again. 

 

And just like with a garden, there’s usually nothing wrong with the seeds… it’s the soil! 

 

All the good intentions in the world don’t count for squat if the soil (a foundation of trust and communication) isn’t healthy. 

 

By cultivating the right soil with all the nutrients needed, any plant can grow rich and healthy. So good communication skills are the soil that produces healthy fruit. 

 

This allows the plants you actually want to outcompete the harmful weeds. 

 

It’s the exact same with the changing patterns in your family’s communication habits. 

 

They will never go away if you just try to pull them up via discipline or punishment. You can’t just “go to war with bad behavior” and win. 

 

You have to lovingly and gently start to create new habits and ways of being… and over time these new habits will crowd out the old destructive patterns. 

 

In fact there are a couple myths I’d like to bust right now about parenting. 

Myth #1: If your kids are having behavioral issues, it’s because of what they saw modeled from you.

Truth: While your example has a great effect on what your kids do, there are many, many influences on their behavior, and you are not to blame. (However, if you want to see positive change, it IS up to you to guide them on the path) 

 

Myth #2: Parenting is intuitive and should come naturally.

Truth: Parenting, especially parenting pre-teens and teens,  is challenging and requires an education all its own. Just like you need to learn how to drive a car in order to be a good driver, it takes more than just xyz. You need to learn how to communicate to be a good parent. 


Myth #3: You need to respond to bad behavior with a firm hand, or else you’ll lose control of your teens and subsequently the household.

 

Truth: Sometimes a firm hand is necessary, but more often than not it can actually just push kids further into a “threat state,” which means they will only become even more disconnected, defensive and irritated.

There are many more myths you may have heard.
 

Even little things said in passing, or repeated in the media can lead to unconscious, destructive patterns playing out over your dinner table.

It’s a minefield out there, and most parents don’t know who to trust.

Well, if you can relate to any of this, then you are in the right place.

Because, again, there is good news!

Science.

The science of the brain specifically.

See, science has allowed us to test and validate what actually works in different parenting styles in order to create the outcomes you desire and that your family deserves.

Which means you can finally get through to your kids about why they need to go to bed on time…

Or you can finally ask your kids to clean up their room without it turning into a fight…

Or you might be able to have a difficult conversation about sex and drinking with your teenager without them feeling controlled and threatened…

Imagine what it could be like in your house if your kids actually listened when you talk… and if, in response, they actually communicated how they were really feeling.
 

Imagine if everyone felt safe to share their feelings without fear of being attacked, judged or ridiculed.

Imagine if you were able to share how your teenager’s words impact you in a way they would actually listen to and receive.

You don’t have to pretend anymore, because it’s all made possible now, thanks to the diligent work of dozens of top-notch neuroscientists who have been working for several decades to provide us with a model of the brain that actually explains child and teen behavior, we have the answer for actually changing and reprogramming their habits.

Only problem is, all this information is scattered all over creation in research papers and study results.
 

Which means that it’s not very accessible to the average parent who barely has time to take a bath, let alone study the latest brain research on communication habits.

And while many of the top parenting books out there claim to be “based in science” when in reality are actually just regurgitated “pop-science” psychological mumbo-jumbo that have been debunked dozens of times.

Because neuroscience is not psychology… it’s much deeper than that. 

And it can make the difference in your family, just like it did for me.

Up until now...you’ve been exhausting yourself putting out fires. So here’s the real question. Are you ready to stop those fires from ever happening again?

 

Don’t get me wrong here: It’s going to take time. And work. And truly, it’s going to take more than six weeks of your life…

 

However, after just 6 short weeks you’ll have all the built-in habits, strategies, and knowledge you need to create a stronger foundation of communication so that conflict becomes productive rather than destructive.

 

Maryanne and I have teamed up to bring you all the habits she taught me that helped me out so much with my kids. It’s the same stuff she uses to help all of her private clients.


This 6-week video course takes you on the deep-dives into each fundamental habit you need to build a better relationship with your kids.

There are 6 key habits, each of which has 3 tools for a total of 18 tools you can start using immediately to build healthier communication habits in your home.

Once you complete the video for the week...you’ll spend the rest of your time using the community and coaching (more on that later) to help you master your new habit.

That way you are slowly given the tools you need and it won’t overwhelm you with a dump truck of information all at once. 


You can also focus on implementation and mastery rather than getting bogged down in the information overload.

Here’s a sneak peak of what’s inside:

  • How questions with an agenda attached can feel arrogant and pushy and what to do instead 

  • How to put your child into a reward state 

And as promised... we’re not just leaving you with a bunch of advice and awkward “exercises” to bumble through over the dinner table--never to be thought of again.

 

Everything we share in this course is designed to be used naturally in daily conversation.

We’ve all read the blog posts or books with canned conversations and cheesy lines which make you cringe and say, “Yeah right, like I would ever actually say that.”

In this course and in our coaching, we role play through a few examples with each technique so you’ll get the gist of how it works and see it in application. 


That way you can adapt the techniques to your own personality and conversational style.

This is one of the big things we feel makes our video course something uniquely special and especially useful for parents, because we structured it in a way that you’ll actually be able to use the tools you get.

 

Here’s some more of what’s inside:

  • The “hand model” for explaining how the brain works, as demonstrated by a world renowned researcher and neuropsychiatrist (It even works with kids as young as 4 and completely transforms how they approach their emotional states! It’s truly brilliant and makes it 1000% worth going through the program all on its own) 

  • The 1/24 rule that can make a huge difference for your peace of mind and your family’s health 

  • What you need to do right now to improve your physical health, mental health and emotional health 

  • A simple, 5-step process to create the behavioral results you want with your family 

  • How to know your role in a conversation (there are 3 distinct roles you can play as a listener and it’s crucial to know which one you should be in so your kids feel heard) 

  • How to stop blocking your kids out (even if you’re doing it unintentionally)

  • The 5 F.A.C.E.S of your child’s emotional needs and how you can address them directly

  • How using the mirroring technique allows you to ask more powerful questions (You may have heard of this technique before, but we show you how to do it completely naturally… so it doesn’t feel like you are using a script or acting out of character.) 

  • The “bottom line” practice to capture the essence of what your kids are saying (great for parents if your kids are “wordy,” and sometimes you have difficulty following along with what they are saying) 

  • And so much more…

  • How to “get back on the horse” if you fall off of the healthy communication habits path (and it’s likely that you will, at one time or another)

  • The A.C.C. model to continuously strengthen your connection with your family 

  • 3 examples of the I.G.R.O.W. formula in action 

  • How to put the brain into an “insight state” to stop thinking about problems and start creating solutions 

  • How to make the transition from parent to partner in decision making (This is key if you want your kids to be empowered to make healthy decisions all on their own--both now and in the future) 

  • The I.G.A. approach to changing behavior (This approach eliminates the need for nagging, whining or yelling on your part) 

  • The SI & SI rule to nip passive aggressive behavior in the bud (even if it happens regularly right now)

  • How to be your child’s inner cheer squad rather than inner critic 

  • The one type of question you need to be asking more to build your child’s self-esteem 

  • How and why to get curious about the assumptions your child is operating under (and what they mean for your relationship) 

  • Why asking two questions at once can confuse your child (you’ll definitely be surprised how often you actually do this)

 
Because we're distilling all this neuroscientific knowledge into bite-size "golden nuggets" that you can actually apply to your life...you don't have to spend years and tens-of-thousands of dollars getting a degree or becoming an expert yourself. 

 

You'll get all the resources you need plus a whole lot more.
