Parenting preschoolers can be intense, but calmer days are ahead!
Hello, my name is Barbara, and I am so glad you’re here!
I am the mother of two teenagers and one grade schooler. I have a master’s degree in education and nearly two decades of experience supporting young children and families. I help parents reduce meltdowns and power struggles with a mix of practical, research-based strategies and real-life emotional support — so your home feels calmer and you feel more confident.
This is for you if…
- you have a child aged 2 through 5
- transitions, like mornings and bedtime, trigger meltdowns
- your child hits, throws, or escalates fast
- you’re exhausted from guessing what to do and trying to “get it right”
- you want firm, kind boundaries that actually stick
What we’ll work on…
- a simple routine that fits your actual life
- boundaries + follow-through without yelling or lengthy lectures
- exactly what to say in the moment (scripts you can customize)
- repairing after hard moments (for you and your child)
- staying calm even when your child isn’t
Ways to get started…
1) Free Calm Days Call (15 min)
We’ll discuss your areas of concern and pinpoint one high priority need. You’ll walk away with one concrete strategy and we can decide if working together more will be beneficial.
2) Calmer Days Workbook and Community
10 strategies with a workbook to help you apply them, and lifetime access to our online community with monthly live Q&As in a private group with like-minded parents.
3) Calmer Days 1:1 — Hour long support call
