I Have All the Right Tools But I'm Still the Wrong Parent
I said something out loud last week that I've been thinking for months: "I have all the right tools, but I'm still the wrong parent." It happened after I yelled at my toddler for scratching our hardwood floors with a plastic bin. The irony wasn't lost on me - here I am, a psychologist who teach...

“I Don’t Like Who I Am in the Mornings”
There’s a version of me that shows up in the mornings I don’t particularly like. She’s sharp. Rushed. Repeating herself. She’s got a mental checklist in her head and a stopwatch in her chest. Brush your teeth. Wash your face. Put on your sunscreen. Again. Again. Again. It’s like my calm voice c...

They Know the Rule. So Why Are They Still Breaking It?
There are nights when my husband handles bedtime, and I try to take a moment for myself. The lights are low, the house is quieting down, and I finally sit. And then I hear the creak of a door. Footsteps. A voice. “Mommy, can you tuck me in?” Some nights I’m patient. Other nights I snap. “Daddy ...

“Don’t Touch Me!” When Routine Sparks Resistance

Your Child Isn't Defiant - They're Under-Coached
Every child has two essential curriculums for their development: The one at school: Letters, numbers, colors. And the invisible one at home: How to ask for space, how to share, how to calm their body when it wants to explode. The first helps them succeed academically. The second helps them thri...

Why Taking Away Screens Isn’t Working (And What To Do Instead)
During a recent coaching call inside TMP University, a parent shared something we’ve all felt at some point: "Every time I say, ‘If you don’t stop, I’m taking away your tablet,’ it only makes things worse. My son just melts down harder or ignores me completely." Another parent jumped in: "I tol...

“I’m sad daddy yelled at me” Why Aggression Is the Signal, Not the Problem
It was a normal weekday night. Pajamas on, bedtime stories stacked by the nightstand, the hum of a tired family just trying to get everyone to sleep. In the middle of the bedtime rush, a 4.5-year-old little girl got silly with her younger brother. She crossed a boundary, grabbing a toy from his...

Transforming Morning Chaos Into Connection
Two years ago, I sat on my bathroom floor and cried. It was 7:43 AM. School drop-off was at 8:00. My 4-year-old daughter was still in pajamas, refusing to brush her teeth, and had just thrown her socks across the room in protest. My carefully planned morning routine was failing spectacularly. I...

When Little Minds Spiral - Helping Children Navigate Catastrophic Thinking
I once found myself in a crowded airport with my 5-year-old daughter, our flight delayed for the third time. As announcements blared and travelers grumbled, I watched her little face crumple in quiet concern. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" I asked, bending to her level. "We're never going to get h...

Sibling Rivalry - Turning Conflicts into Connections
This week, my girls (15 months apart) had an epic battle over who would get their hair brushed first. There was shouting, there were tears, and for a moment, I felt that familiar overwhelm rising. "Why is everything a competition?" I thought as I took a deep breath. As parents, these sibling sq...
