Rethinking Behavior Masterclass:
Start to Transform your Child's Challenging Behavior!
What if…
- ...there were valid, adaptive reasons for your child's challenging behaviors?
- ... we got curious, and asked ourselves, "Why is my child doing this? And why now?"
- ...there is cause for hope and compassion for these disrespectful, stressful, overwhelming, exhausting :) I mean, challenging children of ours?
- ...and what if that changes everything?
Join me for this live workshop on Zoom meeting to discover a new and emerging parenting paradigm, drawing upon the latest research of neuroscience, to better understand what is going on with your child.
Almost 90% of effective problem-solving is due to understanding the problem. Once we understand it more clearly and thoroughly, the way forward becomes clearer as well.

In this workshop, we will:
- Deconstruct the current parenting paradigm, based on behavior management
- Discover why the outdated “behavior management approach” is not only ineffective, but often makes things worse
- Explore a new way to view our child's behavior, that leaves us with more hope, more optimism and a clearer path forward
Two dates and times this workshop will be offered:
- Wednesday, April 6, 2022, 12 noon - 1:00 p.m. MST (one hour) (2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time; 1 p.m. Central Time and 1 a.m. Pacific Time)

About me:
Hi, I'm Melissa!
I’m a mom to an amazing eight-year-old boy. When he was four years old, his behavior really went off the rails in a rather spectacular and upsetting way, with very intense ODD and ADHD behaviors. We had no idea what was going on at the time, were overwhelmed and stressed beyond belief and terrified this would be our new reality. (Just FYI, he was adopted at birth, and had been exposed to drugs and alcohol in utero...just one of the many factors involved in this journey!)
If I had known then, what I know now....we would have had a very different journey, and one filled with more hope, resilience and less stress! But we did muddle through and we "course corrected", learned along the way, and I’m grateful to share that today, we are in a completely different place. (And it did not take four years!)
As a response to that overwhelming (and humbling) experience, I started studying and training in self-regulation for the past five years, becoming certified in emotional and self-regulation.
I’m excited to share what I’ve learned along the way, because it was completely life-changing for us.
And I hope that it will make your path smoother, with less stress and overwhelm, so you can feel more hopeful and optimistic, and ultimately, get to a happier place as a parent, a little faster than we did. 😊
