You Did Everything Right And It’s Still Not Working


A heads-up before you dive in: next Monday, your Back-to-School Script Guide drops which includes 40+ scripts for the moments that make this big transition hard, from morning resistance to bedtime battles. You'll also get an invite to a live class with me in August, exclusively for annual members. Keep an eye on your inbox Monday.

"I'm doing everything right and nothing is changing." 😰
I hear this a lot.
You're validating. You're offering choices. You're sitting with them through the hard moments, trying the scripts, staying calm when you want to lose it. You are in it.
And it still feels like you're running in place.
In this issue, I'm not going to give you a new framework or another approach to add to the list. I want you to imagine we're on a coffee date. Just me and you, going through the four most common frustrations I hear from parents who are already in it. I’ll talk about what's actually happening when a specific tool hits a wall, and what to try instead.
If I do my job right, you'll walk away from this newsletter with a new mindset and know exactly what to do when certain parenting tips and tricks don't work.
Ready? Let's dive in.
