Are You Struggling to Understand and Help Your Child Manage Big Emotions?
- Are you struggling to help your child manage emotional meltdowns, school, or social situations?
- Do mornings feel like a battle just to get out the door, and does bedtime often end in tears or frustration?
- Does your child’s anxiety lead to sudden outbursts or shutdowns, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to help?
If your child is shutting down, talking back, or seems overwhelmed by even the smallest challenges…
You’re not alone!
Many parents of neurodivergent (e.g. ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory, learning differences, 2e, etc) children face these same issues daily—whether it’s the stress of getting homework done, dealing with constant sibling conflicts, or the fear that your child’s anxiety is affecting their ability to navigate social situations, get their tasks done and function on a daily basis. These challenges can leave you feeling frustrated, exhausted, and unsure of how to support your child.

Testimonials
What Real Parents Say About Janine & Elizabeth
“I appreciate all of your resources and have recommended them to parents and students along the way. I think my favorite is the coping skills divided into categories, which I try to show kids in conversations about how they don’t all have to dig breathing or mindfulness let’s say (which is often the hardest sell).”
