Help your highly sensitive or neurodivergent children reduce anxiety, manage stress, form healthy relationships, and secure the skills they need to navigate life.
It's Time to Truly Embrace and Understand Your Child's Unique Sensitivities and Differences.
Supporting Sensitive Children Will Help You Finally Make Sense of Your Children's Behavior So You Can Show Them How to Gain Control of Their BIG Emotions!
"I now listen to my son to understand him instead of defending my decisions."
Thank you for your course. It has been a wonderful defining point in my journey to effective, respectful communication. Everyone is benefiting from it! My son recently said, "You are different lately. It's like you are more interested in me!" I now listen to him to understand him instead of having to defend my decisions as a parent or give in!! And nobody gets mad! Thank you, Lori!

It's Definitely Not Just You!
"Thank you for reminding me not to be so hard on myself."
Thank you so much for reminding me not to be so hard on myself. Your classes are great.

If you feel like you’re drowning in your child’s needs for comfort and support, you’re not alone!
The reason why you aren’t making changes faster (or at all) isn’t because there is something “wrong” with your child… it’s likely because you need to start looking at things from a different perspective.
I wish more parents knew they could help their kids handle their emotions and be more responsible without punishment by just understanding the real reasons they’re struggling.
There are simple shifts you can make in your home right now! .
"I have enjoyed the classes so much."
I have enjoyed the classes so much. Yesterday I was triggered and caught myself and began to investigate, found the needs and instead of beating myself up for them - my heart broke open and sobbing commenced. I have some hardened ideas beginning to soften. Thank you!

Perhaps your child...
-
is always rigid and inflexible.
-
seems to overreact to small changes.
-
appears more connected to devices than people.
-
is unable to self-regulate or control their impulses.
-
wakes up and never stops moving.
-
is socially awkward or unable to relate to peers.
-
has trouble maintaining focus, completing tasks or following directions.
-
looks for help - even in situations where independence is expected.
I know what it's like to have a child who...
- goes from 0 to 60 in .005 seconds.
- gets stuck in rigid routines.
- seems anxious and disorganized.
- has sensory challenges.
- has trouble seeing other points of view.
- is easily distracted & angered in a flash.
- is smart, creative, and highly empathetic.
"Thank you!"
Thank you for giving me my son back!

I also know what it is like to BE that child.
Confused, stressed, overwhelmed, and feeling disrespected is how I spent much of my childhood.
Angering others seemed to be my specialty, but I had no skills to change, even though "I knew better."
My parents didn't know what to do.
As an adult, I learned that along with being highly sensitive, I was a high-masking, late-realized Autistic with ADHD and lots of sensory processing challenges.
As an educator, it was then that my mission to help parents understand and support their sensitive and neurodivergent children became clear.

"We recommend this course to every parent we know."
My wife and I highly benefited from Lori's TEACH program. We have been able to successfully discipline our daughter using non-traditional parenting methods. We recommend this course to every parent we know.

I'll show you 3 critical perspective shifts that have changed our lives (speaking as a neurodivergent adult raising a neurodivergent child).
Sometimes, the world just feels like it's TOO much - too big and fast-paced for our differently-wired kids.
My childhood experience, insight, and sensitivity are what allow me to walk in your shoes and understand your reality. And since I'm raising a daughter just like me, I can help you decode those behaviors that seem unreasonable, persistent, or blatantly defiant.
My goal is to empower you with the tools you need to communicate respectfully and create peace in your home.
You can help your children develop the skills they need to reach their full potential and thrive by following three key areas of support that I discuss in this on-demand series.
Your Step-by-Step Strategy Plan Is Here!
Help your children manage their emotions and make the small adjustments that lead to BIG changes in behavior.
Focusing on three areas of emotional and behavioral support, we will scaffold a foundation of success rooted in attachment, self-regulation, and skills development to help you and your child -
- connect more deeply - even during stress.
- understand what motivates rigid behavior and obsessive thoughts.
- establish coping tools to reduce anxiety and manage worries.
- adapt to sensory sensitivities and build tolerance.
- strengthen executive function skills to stay calm and focused.
- overhaul your communication and remove the triggering language that perpetuates negativity.
- communicate in ways that increase connection, motivation, and cooperation.
"Absolutely amazing resource."
Lori is really great at giving you very clear direction about what to do in your situation. Have no fear! Her knowledge of children’s developmental stages and the information she has combined with a generous heart make her an absolutely amazing resource.

What Other Parents Are Saying...
And how they're changing their lives!
"Cannot thank you enough. We are seeing big changes!"
My husband and I just cannot thank you enough for the ways this course has affected our lives. We are seeing big changes. We had the instinct, the intention and the determination for conscious parenting, but lacked the skills and tools required to actually make it happen until now. A million times, thank you.

"The audios are brilliant."
Wow, the mp3s are really gifts that keep on giving. They are brilliant. Yesterday really blew my mind. Understanding the science behind it makes me able to feel even more compassion for where children are. It is such a relief to find your work and this whole approach. I really resonate with it and deeply want to build a solid relationship of good communication with my daughter. I am ecstatic to find this now. Mahalo a nui loa.

Will this series address my challenges as a highly sensitive parent?
It is not uncommon for us to learn to build our tolerance right along with our children.
If you know that you are highly sensitive, it does not mean that you are subject to a life of over-stimulation. You will learn tips and tools that will help the whole family, but most importantly, this class is built on a foundation of attachment. Repairing the relationship with our inner selves is a priority. -
Is this class best for younger or older kids?
The course is for anyone who wants to learn to be less reactive and feel more capable of handling their child's sensitivities.
Young children are naturally emotionally sensitive and reactive because of their stage of development. But sensitive or not - managing their behavior is something ALL children are working on.
The skills you strengthen in this class are laying the foundation for children to grow by leaps and bounds.
Of course, it is important to have expectations that match the developmental timeline of your child - and I'll help you do that.
You'll learn strategies that match your child's stage of development. -
How much time will it take to complete the course and see results with my kids?
The main course is divided into a three-week learning session.
Each of the three modules contains bite-sized videos and activities to complete, which you can watch daily in small increments or sit down for a full 1-1.5 hr session each week.
Prefer to read? You can read the transcript and follow the workbook.
If you put in the work and complete the exercises as outlined in the course, and follow the path I have laid out, you can see immediate results in the way you connect with your kids and how they begin to respond differently to your requests.
But this is a journey and childhood is filled with opportunities to make mistakes and learn. Your children will consistently develop the skills they need to succeed if you can commit to discovering more about your own behavior so you can effectively use the tools provided.

"Your program has truly transformed me in ways I never thought possible. I once found motherhood to be nothing but a constant and insurmountable burden (compounded by years-long PPD), yet after studying your methods and philosophies, I was finally able to find real joy in parenthood."
