12 Weeks to Clear and Confident Parenting
Break the reactive parenting cycle and foster a deep connection with your child through proven strategies that help you regulate your emotions while teaching your child emotional regulation and self-determination.
Reclaim your Calm
You’re Not Alone in This Struggle
"It's not even 9am and I'm already yelling. My 4-year-old is crying about shoe laces and we're going to be late again."
Sound familiar? When every morning feels like a battle with your strong-willed child, you start dreading the day before it even begins. The cycle of emotional dysregulation—yours and theirs—sets the tone for everything that follows.
The Morning Meltdown
The Tantrum Panic
"Everyone's staring while my child screams on the grocery store floor. I give in just to make it stop, knowing I'm making it worse."
Public meltdowns feel like parenting failure announcements, especially with strong-willed children who feel everything intensely. You leave feeling defeated, judged, and wondering how to help your child develop emotional regulation skills.
The Reactive Shame Spiral
"I lost it again today and screamed over spilled cereal. I'm becoming the parent I swore I'd never be."
The guilt after losing your emotional regulation is crushing. You lie awake wondering how you can teach your child to manage their emotions when you can't manage your own.
"My child questions everything, pushes every boundary, and seems determined to do things their way no matter what."
You want to nurture their self-determination and independent spirit, but you also need cooperation and respect for others' needs. Finding this balance feels impossible.
The Strong-Willed Child Challenge
The Constant Negotiations
"Everything becomes an argument. My child and I constantly battle, and every interaction feels like a negotiation."
From getting dressed to eating dinner, everything becomes a power struggle. You're exhausted from fighting and wonder how to gain cooperation while still fostering your child's self-initiated nature.
The Pattern Prison
"I tell myself 'today I'll stay calm,' but the moment someone starts whining, I lose my cool all over again."
Breaking generational patterns feels impossible when you're triggered. You want to model emotional regulation for your children, but old reactive habits surface in stressful moments.
Real Results from Real Parents
She’s helped him become more confident and able to express his concerns & feelings.
"I can't speak highly enough of Albiona. Her support and care has meant a lot in helping my son with some of the social issues he's been having in school. She really takes the time to listen to my concerns and offer suggestions and tips on how to handle certain situations, as well. She's very knowledgeable, patient and kind while really trying to understand and help with strategies and solutions in some of the parenting struggles I've had. I highly recommend her services to any parents struggling with their children's behavioral and social issues."
— Christina A.
I had a session with Albiona, a few weeks ago, and already I am noticing improvements.
"I have a 1 ½ year old and, as the tremendous twos are approaching, I needed help with how to prepare with that. There are a few things my child is already starting to test limitations on. I felt myself becoming the "bad parent" with the short fuse and that is something that I did not want. The P.A.R.R method has helped, as well as just some self care and reflection, through meditation and breathing. Albiona also reassured me that I am not alone in these thoughts and feelings that I am having, so that has done wonders for my mindset!"
— Jessica S.
Albiona has absolutely changed my life!
"I have never felt so much support as a mom and a woman as I have when I work with Albiona in a parent coaching session. Albiona’s advice and support are the perfect blend of personalized support while considering mine and my children’s personalities. She understands the research and combines this with her years of expertise working with children and families to find the most balanced approach to parenting. I truly enjoy Albiona as a human and have gained a great friend through the coaching experience. Having her in my parenting corner has been invaluable. As an incredibly busy mom who feels underwater most days with three young kiddos, her parenting advice is so solid 110% of the time that it is an invaluable resource to me!"

Here’s what I help parents do
I help you regulate your emotions while teaching your child how to regulate and self-regulate their emotions. My coaching focuses on two core areas: building emotional regulation skills for the whole family, and supporting parents of strong-willed children in nurturing the process of raising self-determined, self-initiated children while still gaining cooperation and teaching the importance of meeting others' needs.
I teach you what your strong-willed child really needs versus what you think they need, so you can get to the root of their behavior and create lasting change that honors their independent spirit while building emotional regulation skills.
I give you a personalized approach for responding, not reacting, so you'll meet your child's unique needs AND help them develop into emotionally resilient, self-determined humans. You will achieve more cooperation and connection without yelling, threatening punishments, or leveraging fear or shame to get your child to listen.
Learn how to gain cooperation while fostering deep connections with your strong-willed child and nurturing their natural independence.
What Most Parents Do Instead
Constantly offer explanations in a calm voice, but it gets you nowhere with your strong-willed child who needs more than words.
Constantly offer explanations in a calm voice, but it gets you nowhere with your strong-willed child who needs more than words.
Set a new boundary every day hoping this time it works, without understanding how to help your child develop internal emotional regulation.
Give up after one or two attempts when your strong-willed child has a negative response, missing the opportunity to teach emotional regulation skills.
The PARR Method:
Your Path from Reactive to Responsive
When you don't know what to do, you overreact or underreact. You feel like your back is against the wall, so you yell and reach for anything that will get the behavior to stop. This is not sustainable, and your child will not thrive in this environment.
Pause
Take a moment to regulate your own emotions before responding to your child's behavior, modeling the emotional regulation you want them to learn.
Acknowledge
Recognize and validate your child's emotions and experience, especially important for strong-willed children who feel everything intensely.
Respond
Choose a thoughtful response based on your child's actual emotional and developmental needs, honoring their self-determination while teaching cooperation.
