What problems can you help with?
Baby, Infant, and Toddler growing pains, challenging behaviour, and parenting concerns.
The kinds of challenges we’ve all experienced at some point: Achieving potty training success. Helping picky eaters. Controlling temper tantrums. Keeping kids occupied. Resolving sleep or naptime challenges. Creating or enforcing good routines. Developing good sharing and playtime manners. Helping restless or teething infants. Working with shy or nervous toddlers. Adjusting to a new baby in the house. Issues with a new nanny. Getting along with others. Acting out. Biting, scratching, hitting. Writing on walls. Dealing with authority. Entertaining bored kids. Having fun together. Encouraging cooperation. Setting good family rules. And many others!
We can SOLVE – “We have been potty training for 4 weeks but no success… just frustration.”We can PREVENT – “We want to begin potty training soon… help us make a plan to be successful.”
What is Your Philosophy?
We’re all the same-same, but different-different too.
Everyone – even babies and toddlers – share similar “growing up” problems. But we each experience and solve them in our own creative ways. A technique that works for one child (or parent) in one situation does not guarantee it will work for every child. Understanding your situation and your child’s personality helps to build better tools and tactics for promoting healthy growth, peaceful families, and good social skills.
It’s really about finding what works for you and your child.

How does it work?
It’s pretty simple really. You can get advice, coaching, and hands-on help in your home and support by phone.
- Start with a free phone conversation
- Book an in-home visit for your family
- Create a plan to fit your needs.
In-home consultations are a great starting point – most parents begin here and then determine what kind of ongoing support they would like and how often.
In-home visits are more personal, and an effective way to gain understanding of your unique challenge. They allow you to get started right away on improving your situation. Prepared with a personal game plan and advice, you will be ready to start turning challenging behaviours into good times.
If you want help applying your new strategies, we’ll create a personal support plan to suit your schedule, lifestyle, family needs, and parenting goals.
Phone consultations are great too when you want peace-of-mind support as you implement your plan following an in-home consultation. You have a coach on-call when you need a little more encouragement or need to make adjustments.
They’re also great if you just need some quick advice to confirm what you are already doing, or just get you started in the right direction.
You won’t magically fix a big problem on one call. But you will get timely affirmation, help, or an outlet to vent!
