What We Work On

Co-regulation first: short calming routines for caregivers and kids (before consequences)

Scripts that work: Validate Reflect Request; choices and “yes-if” limits

Routines that stick: visual schedules for mornings, homework, screens, and bedtime

Problem-solving meetings: 10–15 minute weekly check-ins to troubleshoot together

Natural & consistent follow-through: rewards, consequences, and repair steps that teach

School coordination (with consent): 504/IEP-friendly supports and brief teacher updates

How Parenting Support Works Here

Understand the pattern – Strengths, triggers, values, and what’s already helping.

Pick one focus – We start small (one routine or behavior) to build quick wins.

Practice & customize – Role-play scripts, design visuals, plan rewards that motivate your child.

Try it at home – One tiny experiment for the week (2–10 minutes/day).

Review & refine – Keep what works, tweak what doesn’t; repeat for steady progress.
