Reduce the overwhelm and mental load of parenting
New course drop
Would you devote 3 minutes a day for a month to become a better parent?
One of the biggest sources of overwhelm for parents, is having to make constant decisions on behalf of our children, with no real understanding for what it means for the future. My new course uses 3 minutes per day in video format to teach you a basic principle of child development, practical tips and something to try that day to improve your parenting.
Stop guessing. Start understanding.
😡 Do you ever find yourself repeating the same instruction, five, six, even ten times, only to be completely ignored?
😭 Do you face explosive meltdowns that seem to come from nowhere?
If you do, it's not a sign of a parenting failure. It's a sign of a mismatch. A mismatch between what we think should work and how a child's brain is actually wired.
For 20 years, I've had a privileged view into the human brain, studying its structure and function in institutions like the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. I've authored over 80 peer-reviewed academic papers. But it was only when I began decoding my own children's behaviour through the lens of neuroscience that everything finally clicked.
The behaviour that causes us the most frustration - the lack of impulse control, the emotional outbursts, the "selective hearing"- isn't a choice your child is making; it's limitations of their developing brain.
I've taken two decades of research and distilled it into a new video course: Effective and intentional parenting based on neuroscience.
This isn't about parenting hacks. It's the owner's manual for your child's brain that you were never given.
The course officially launches on June 14th. However, as a member of my community, you have the opportunity to enroll now and receive a 50% pre-launch discount.
