Weeks 1–2 · The worst moment
Pick one part of the day and change only that.
The programs, in detail
Four programs of 6 to 10 weeks, grouped by your child's age and aimed at the moments that actually go wrong.
Program 01 · Ages 1 to 5
The toddler years
Toddlers aren't giving you a hard time; they're having one, with almost no ability to manage it. We work on predictable routines, how you offer choices, and what you do during a meltdown — plus what to do with your own frustration, which nobody talks about enough.
Weeks 3–4 · Routines
Predictable sequences that reduce the number of negotiations.
Weeks 5–6 · During the storm
What to say and not say mid-meltdown, and staying calm yourself.
Weeks 7–8 · Repair
Reconnecting afterward, for them and for you.
Weeks 1–2 · Mornings
A sequence kids can run mostly themselves.
Weeks 3–4 · Homework
Where, when, and how involved you should be.
Weeks 5–6 · Follow-through
Consequences you can actually apply consistently.
Weeks 7–8 · Siblings
Reducing the flashpoints and refusing to be the referee.
Program 02 · Ages 6 to 11
School-age routines
This age is mostly logistics and follow-through. We rebuild the two worst routines of your week, agree on consequences you're willing to enforce every time, and work on sibling conflict — which usually improves once the schedule stops being chaotic.
Program 03 · Ages 12 to 18
Talking with teenagers
By this age, control shrinks and influence matters more. We work on conversations that don't end in a slammed door, on negotiating independence in steps, and on staying connected to a person who is supposed to be pulling away. If there are signs of depression, self-harm or substance problems, we'll urge you toward a licensed professional immediately.
Weeks 1–3 · Opening the door
Timing, tone and asking questions that get answers.
Weeks 4–6 · Negotiating
Freedom in increments, with terms both sides accept.
Weeks 7–8 · Conflict
Staying in the conversation when it gets heated.
Weeks 9–10 · Hard topics
Preparing for the conversations you're dreading.
Weeks 1–2 · Where you are
A week of honest observation, without changing anything.
Weeks 3–4 · The agreement
Few rules, written down, agreed by everyone.
Weeks 5–6 · Holding it
Surviving the pushback and adjusting what doesn't work.
Program 04 · Any age
Screens & boundaries
Screen fights are rarely about screens; they're about transitions and inconsistent rules. We write an agreement with clear, few rules that fit your household, decide the enforcement in advance, and handle the two weeks of pushback that follow any change.
