Foundations is where you begin when you want the “why” beneath the “what” and change that truly lasts. These guides help you build a sturdy base for regulation, cooperation, and closeness, no matter your child’s age.

For deeper relationship insight, start with Loop of Connection. To better understand your child’s temperament and create a stronger fit between you, begin with Temperament and Goodness of Fit. And for practical, connection-based strategies you can use right away, turn to Heart of Play and Lead with HEART. Wherever you start, you’re strengthening the foundation of your child’s wellbeing—and your own.

Common Concerns are the day-to-day challenges that can take over family life, even when everything else is basically okay. These guides take the same Foundations framework and aim it at the moments that tend to unravel mornings, mealtimes, bedtime, and the in-between: sleep struggles, eating battles, sibling rivalry, managing technology and more.

Instead of quick fixes, you’ll use connection first (so your child feels safe enough to cooperate), goodness of fit (so your expectations match your child’s wiring), and practical HEART strategies (so you know what to do in the moment). The goal is simple: less fighting, more calm, and routines that actually work for your real kid in your real life.

Mental Health guides are for when you’re noticing patterns that feel bigger than a passing phase, or when you’re wondering, “Is this just temperament, stress, and development, or is something else starting to emerge?” Using the same Foundations framework, these guides help you understand your child’s behavior on a continuum, from common ups and downs to signals that extra support may be needed.

Rather than quick fixes, you’ll lead with connection so your child feels safe enough to cooperate, align expectations through goodness of fit, and use practical HEART strategies to navigate the moment. The goal is simple: less fighting, more calm, and routines that actually work for your real child in your real life.

A Connected Path Through Parenthood
