Have you ever wished your kids would...

Listen better and pick up after themselves
Stop fighting and stop having meltdowns
Do their homework without complaining
Stop having issues at school or with friends
Be less anxious and worried
Be more pleasant and kind

And maybe you've even thought that if your kids changed, then you could be more calm, more in-control, and you could actually enjoy being a parent? (Spoiler alert - it doesn't work this way and you can't always control what your kids do!)

If you're like many of my clients, you find parenting hard.

Here's what they tell me:

• Mentally I'm hanging on by a thread and I'm constantly struggling to not lose it.
• My kids are struggling and I want to support them but I don't know how.
• When I try to help it just makes things worse.
• I'm worried about my kids and concerned that I'm doing things wrong or that I've already messed things up.
• I want to enjoy my time with my kids, but the times we have together are so stressful and by the end of the day I've got nothing left to give. 

Do any of these sound like your thoughts?

You might have even read the best parenting books, and tried a number of different approaches...  but the days and months have gone by and nothing has changed

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PARENT EFFECTIVELY WHEN YOU'RE STUCK IN FRUSTRATION, ANXIETY AND OVERWHELM.

Think about how you parent from these feelings...  if you're like my clients you might get short tempered and reactive, yell, cry, freeze, withdraw, get stuck in your own head, and not be nice to your family.  And you're certainly not calm, present, effective or parenting your best.

But when things are tough it's hard to just feel calm and positive either.

When you're stuck in frustration, anxiety and overwhelm, you can't automatically transition to calm and in-control to be able to parent effectively.  It's too far of an emotional leap, but unfortunately those are usually the times that our kids need us to parent effectively the most!

So what do you do when you're in the moment, struggling with heightened emotions yourself, and your child needs you to show up as your best parenting self?

IMAGINE WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN:

- You are calmer, more connected, and you know your kids much better like my client Anna.

- Your friends notice how you're less stressed and enjoying your time with your kids more like my client Liz.

- You've reached a whole new level of calm that you didn't even know existed, and you're now able to stay focused on how to best help your child like my client Kate.

- You find these concepts help you successfully navigate issues at work and in other relationships like my clients Angela and Christina, and other areas of your life get easier.

- You're able to handle meltdowns and tantrums.

- You can say no to your child without sending them into a tailspin.

- You have a process for solving issues and problems.

- You're far more effective and no longer shooting from the hip.

- You move beyond surviving the day to day, and actually help your child thrive.

- You're becoming more of the parent you always dreamed you would be.

- Your children learn new parenting habits from you and you change your legacy for your children and future generations.

Parent From Neutral is an 8-week Group Mentoring Program for struggling and busy parents that need help and results yesterday.  Even though it’s all science backed, it’s taught in everyday language in a way that’s simple and easy to understand.  And Mel teaches ONLY what you need to know to implement ASAP to keep you out of information overload.  Each week stacks and builds so it's easy to follow and the changes happen week by week. 

Parent From Neutral is completely unique and intentionally designed taking into account the neuroscience of learning, the latest research on children's development and how to raise emotionally intelligent kids, with the best coaching framework and tools. 

If you've tried to change in the past with no luck, you will discover why and exactly what you can do differently to ensure you get the results you want based on the neuroscience of learning and how our brains best learn.  You will know exactly what to do to easily and efficiently learn and implement these new concepts so they quickly become your new default, saving you months of struggle with no results. 

Each lesson is pre-recorded and and is accessed via a student-only portal so you can watch them on your schedule.  Even if you're short on time as most parents are, each lesson is designed to be under 25-30 minutes so you can fit them in when it works best for you.  The lessons are released each week along with an implementation workbook, allowing you time to learn and practice each concept.  Again, they are designed to stack and build.

You also get unlimited email access so you can get all of your questions answered, along with four private coaching calls so you can experience the coaching tools in action.  

Lifetime access to lessons, Q&A recordings, as well as any future updates to the Parent From Neutral program will be granted at the end of the program, along with any bonuses that are revealed below.

Phase 1 - The Neuroscience of Learning and Parent From Neutral Process

In weeks one and two, we start with the neuroscience of learning to make learning and embodying these new concepts easier, and we go in-depth into the Parent From Neutral process.  You learn the science of parenting so you can parent best based on how your child's brain is developing.

Phase Two - Coaching Framework 

In weeks three and four, we cover coaching tools and a framework that you can use to self-coach and help your kids.  We go deep into learning how to effectively navigate frustration, anxiety, overwhelm, and any other heightened emotions that affect your ability to parent effectively, and get to neutral.  

Phase 3 - Communication

In weeks five and six, we are covering communication strategies so you stay connected to your kids and can help them build their emotional vocabulary.  We also cover how to establish boundaries while staying emotionally responsive and a self-discipline process that will help to decrease discipline issues overall. 

Phase 4 - Helping Your Kids Thrive

In weeks seven and eight, we bring it all together so you can move beyond addressing behavior issues to actually helping your kids thrive.  We discuss how to intentionally help to build your child's identity and cultivate confidence, resilience and courage in your child.  We also address how to help establish the habit of positive self-talk, and wrap up with a review of your Parenting Toolbox which we've been adding to over the eight weeks.

Your No-Risk, Money-Back Guarantee

When you're a parent, you may be hesitant to spend money on yourself because you tend to put everyone else first. I'm also fully confident that the VALUE this program will bring to not only your life, but the lives of your children and family far exceeds the price.  However, I get that it's daunting to spend your hard-earned cash before you see the inside of the program. For that reason, I offer a 30 day no-risk refund policy.  Join Parent From Neutral today, and if by June 7, 2022 at 11:59 pm EST you don't feel you've received the value from the program, just email [email protected].  Show my team that you've completed all of your worksheets and either been on one of each week's live calls or watched the replay, and we will give you your money back, no questions asked.

Hi!  I'm Mel...

I'm a Certified Professional Coach and Parenting Mentor, that helps frustrated parents learn to keep their cool and communicate so their kids listen better by teaching them to Parent From Neutral so they can parent their best when their kids need it most.

Here's the truth most parents don't know...

Our natural instinct as parents is typically to want our kids to be happy, behave, and have things be easy and go well for them.  But that can leave us trying to control them or fix how they feel, so that we can consistently feel calm and in-control.  But it just doesn’t work that way... and when we try we can end up decreasing our connection and weakening our relationships with them. 

It keeps us frustrated, anxious, stuck and struggling... and our emotions can spill over and affect our parenting.   

I know because that was me.  I was leading and managing a high growth start-up and was stuck in overwhelm, guilt, stress and frustration for most of my kids' early years...  which affected how I parented and my relationships with my kids.

I originally hired a coach to help me handle the overwhelm and become a better leader for my company.

I didn’t realize how much my coaching for work affected my parenting until my daughter commented that things were really different at home.  When I asked her what had changed, her response was “You did Mom”.

Learning to get to neutral, keep my cool, and communicate better changed everything for me and my family.  My relationships with my kids improved exponentially, and we have so much more peace in our home. I truly believe that I have changed the lives for future generations of our family because my children will now parent differently based on what they are learning from watching me.

And that's why I knew I needed to create a program for YOU.

Unlike other tools and strategies that never stuck, I've combined the neuroscience of learning, the latest research on children's development and how to raise emotionally intelligent and healthy kids, with the best coaching framework and tools to create Parent From Neutral.  Each week stacks and builds so it's easy to follow and the changes happen week by week. I'm watching in awe as my clients get great results, and I truly believe it's the fastest and easiest way to transform your parenting.

My mission is to build a new emotionally healthy and happy generation from the ground up.  I believe it's more needed than ever right now, and this is how parents can help change the world.  I hope you'll join me.
