How often does your child listen the first time you ask? If your daily requests are being ignored and you find yourself repeating directions or losing your temper, this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through the “Acknowledge & Respond” method, an evidence-based strategy that helps parents raise kids who listen the first time. Backed by psychology research and real-life results, this approach taps into the power of attention and verbal commitment to create lasting change in your parent-child dynamic. Plus, I’ll share three key tips that make this strategy work in any situation whether you’re managing screen time, chore resistance, or morning chaos.

New to my channel?  If you want to take the stress, frustration, and overwhelm out of parenting by learning how to promote better behavior in your child, you're in the right place. 

I'm a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I share the psychology-based strategies that I use to parent with intention and confidence.

I help parents move from feeling exhausted and at wit's end, losing their cool, yelling, and wishing parenting was easier, to feeling calm and confident, effectively managing any challenging parenting situation, and actually enjoying time spent with their kids.

The practical positive discipline tools I teach based on my 5 C's parenting framework can get you there.
