#parentcoach is a supportive community sharing tips, advice, and parenting strategies. It empowers parents, fosters connection, promotes positive parenting, offers resources, encourages growth, and provides relatable content for modern families.
Paying average rates can lead you to having average care and if you’re looking for help in a specific area, you may need to find someone who specializes in that topic. And that could cost more 🫣 #nanny #nannylife #moms #momlife #parentcoach
A few weeks ago, I shared a video about why parents respond to behavior the way they do (it's from November 29, 2024—if you missed it, go watch it, and you’ll see what I mean).   But here’s the truth: offering your child something “good” after challenging behavior might temporarily stop it, but it won’t solve the issue in the long term.   I know—it FEELS like it’s working because the behavior stops temporarily. But remember, anytime a behavior CONTINUES to occur means it’s being reinforced.  Once you truly understand how behavior works, those “a-ha” moments make it much easier to stop reinforcing the wrong behaviors.   ➡️ DM me READY to grab my Practical Parenting: No Fluff, Just Results course! This comprehensive guide will help you understand your child’s behavior and give you practical tools to create smoother, more peaceful days together. #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #newmom #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentingishard #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #teachersofinstagram #parenthood
Find me on the Zuck app “My child has a tantrum when…” “My child has a meltdown when…” “My child cries when…” “What should I do?!” Here’s the thing… Kids are in the middle of figuring out how the world works. Some of them haven’t even reached 500 days on this planet! It’s completely normal for them to feel upset—they’re still learning how to navigate their emotions and experiences. But here’s where many parents get stuck: reasoning, over-explaining, and using logic in the heat of the moment. When kids are overwhelmed emotionally, teaching them a lesson or justifying your decisions won’t land. That’s not the time for logic—it’s the time for calm, consistent action. The truth is, many effective strategies happen before challenging behavior occurs. If you’re relying on all your tools and strategies only after the meltdown starts, you’re more likely to prolong the situation—and might even unintentionally reinforce the challenging behavior. Now, about tools like timers and warnings… Timers and warnings are fantastic, but they lose their effectiveness if you don’t follow through. For example, if the timer goes off, your child protests, and THEN you give them extra time, the message becomes confusing. Teaching our kids to negotiate appropriately is a great skill, but if we are going to teach it and honor what they negotiated (appropriately), then we need to follow through with what both parties agreed upon. Otherwise we teach our kids that our words hold no value.  DM me TOOLKIT for instant access to my free mini crash course video, where I share 4 must-know strategies every parent needs to make life easier and more enjoyable. #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #newmom #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentingishard #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #teachersofinstagram #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

I totally get it! Some of the things our kids do can really push our buttons, maybe even make your blood boil.  But hear me out! If those behaviors are of no harm to anyone, and are simply meant to annoy you, try your best to let them go.  And I know what you are thinking, “How will my child know that’s not okay? Aren't I letting them get away with it?”  Not at all! Behavior happens for a reason, and whether it continues depends on the consequences we provide. If your child is doing something to get your attention, and you respond by telling them to stop, you might actually be reinforcing the behavior.  In other words, your reaction could be giving them exactly what they’re looking for. The key is to respond in a way that shows you’re unaffected. Even your facial expressions matter—if you look annoyed, that might be enough to encourage the behavior. Sometimes, walking away is your best move. 🛑IMPORTANT!🛑 I often hear, “I ignore my child’s behavior, but it’s not improving.” That’s likely because the reason behind the behavior hasn’t been identified. Understanding the function of behavior is the game-changer! Without that information, it’s hard to address the root cause effectively. ➡️ DM me TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on 4 crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier.

Drake says it best “ there are more people that want it than people that got it” it is so desirable to have financial freedom. Only those who put for the work are those that deserve it. Average workers receive average pay. 👏🏼 ##Nanny##nannylife##parentcoach##nannytok##6figures##financialfreedom
Imagine you’re teaching your child to swim. Think of all the steps involved: getting comfortable in the water, submerging their chin, then their nose, eventually their whole face. Learning to float, blow bubbles, kick, and hold onto the wall and much more—all these skills build toward swimming. Now, imagine you only praise them when they’re swimming perfectly.  How discouraged would they feel if every small effort along the way went unnoticed?  Would they even make progress?  This is why shaping and reinforcement are so important- not just for swimming, but for any new skill (especially language).  Here are some other examples of how shaping might be used: cleaning, brushing teeth, tying shoes, writing, making their bed, playing an instrument, drawing a picture, getting dressed—the list goes on!  ➡️ My Time to Talk mini-course, which focuses on communication starting from infancy, is included for free in the Practical Parenting course. And as Andrea, a parent who recently took my course, said:  “The most significant change I’ve seen is being able to use what I learned with my two-year-old and noticing a real increase in her communication skills.“ So remember, celebrate small steps. PS: This works best when teaching your child to ask for what they want!

“What if they cry or exhibit challenging behavior?” That’s okay and can be expected—especially if your child has a long learning history of using challenging behavior to remain in an activity longer. When you begin following through immediately with your instructions (if you haven’t been doing so before), you’re no longer reinforcing behavior that was previously reinforced (this is called extinction). As a result, your child may try different challenging behaviors because the old ones aren’t getting the same result they used to. It’s important to note: This is not the time to give in, as your child might then adopt this new behavior as their go-to the next time they don’t want to transition. And remember, extinction can take time– it may be a long and slow process, but when done correctly, it works. Over time, your child will learn, “When my mom asks me to do something, I need to do it when she asks, or she will just prompt me anyway.” Finally, proactive strategies will always be your best option! Sometimes we may not have the right reinforcer, and that’s okay– all we can do is adjust for next time. DM me READY if you are prepared for peaceful, easy going days without the tantrums and power struggles, and I’ll show you how.  #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

Here’s the big one! Paying attention to your child BEFORE they have a meltdown is crucial!  It’s so easy to overlook the appropriate behaviors our children engage in, and I get it!  Us parents have stuff to do! Who has time for this!?  But let me tell you, the amount of time you think you are losing by attending to your child during errands or a family outing; you may end up losing having to coax them to leave the toy aisle, sit in the cart, stop taking things off the shelf, leave the restaurant, or stay in their seat— you get the idea!  By utilizing this strategy, we mitigate the chances of problem behavior happening, teach our children that engaging in the right behavior gets our attention and that running errands or eating out doesn’t become something we dread!  Comment TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on 4 crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier (This also covers the other topics in the video).  #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #newmom #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentingishard #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #teachersofinstagram #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok
I know what it’s like to feel like you can’t get anything done because you have to stay in the same room as your kids, or a fight might break out out.  You try to put away the dishes, and suddenly you hear shrieking. Or you run upstairs to switch the laundry, and you hear, “Mom! Joey hit me!” No one should have to live like that—constantly on edge, ready to put out the next fire. Here’s the thing… While I was wishing my kids’ behavior would change, I realized that if I wanted things to get better, my behavior had to change first. So, I completely shifted the way I handled their arguments—and it made a BIG difference. Our home is calmer, and my quality of life has improved more than I could have imagined.  That’s why I’m so excited to announce the brand-new, updated Sibling Rivalry module in my Practical Parenting: No Fluff, Just Results course. In one hour, I’ll walk you through the 5 strategies I shared in the video—and so much more—so you can start enjoying calmer, more peaceful days too. DM me “READY” and I’ll show you how.  #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #siblingrivalry #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #parentingjourney #toddlersoftiktok #parentsbelike #parenthood

🌟 If your child says one word, you can expand on it to model a more complete sentence. For example, if your child says “car,” you might respond with, “The car is going so fast! Let’s drive!” 🌟 Don’t omit words from your sentences. For example, “mommy do.” Instead, model the correct sentence structure.  🌟 Use a fun, excited tone of voice —big eyes and wide smiles make all a big difference! 🌟 Describing what you’re doing during play helps your child associate your voice with enjoyable activities. When your voice is consistently paired with fun and excitement, it encourages your child to pay attention and see communication as motivating.

I get so many questions about what ages my Practical Parenting course is appropriate for, so I figured I would clarify on here... The course is suitable for all ages—I didn’t want to create separate courses and charge addtional fees.  Instead, you get lifetime access, so you can revisit the modules as your child grows and your needs evolve. For instance, if you have a baby or younger toddler, you might not need the module on implementing consequences yet. But you can still benefit from setting expectations and holding boundaries. Additionally, proactive strategies at this age are going to be huge in reducing the chances of challenging behaviors from happening. For older children, you wouldn't need the module on cultivating language, but everything else would be applicable.  This week I will also be adding modules including topics like food throwing, staying in bed, transitioning from screen time, kids who resist brushing their teeth, and more. You’ll be able to pick and choose what’s most relevant to your family—but I highly recommend watching the modules in order for the best results. Parents of all ages have found the course helpful—from a mom of a 7-month-old to a dad of a 9-year-old who shared how it improved their family dynamic.  One mom who signed up for her 2-year-old recently told me she’s also using what she learned with her 4- and 5-year-olds. The principles of behavior apply to all ages, so once you learn about them, you can use them in any scenario.  For more information on feedback from parents of a variety of ages, feel free to check out my highlights tab called “testimonials.”  DM me READY if you are prepared for peaceful, easy going days without the tantrums and power struggles, and I’ll show you how.  #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

This one is for you if your child struggles with transitioning from something fun to a less preferred activity (like moving from the iPad to dinner or leaving the park to go home). Once it is time to leave and BEFORE you interrupt the activity, have a promise reinforcer ready before you say anything.  This means you have something good in your hand or have a preferred activity ready for them to transition to.  If that is not feasible, try to utilize something in your environment they are looking forward to. In my video, I used an elephant water toy.  Important: Here is what you don’t want to do… Do not remove the instruction to leave once problem behavior has already occurred and do not offer more alternative items.  Doing so reinforces that challenging behavior produces good things, increasing the likelihood of it happening again in the future.

Kids are incredibly perceptive and can pick up on the slightest hint of frustration or panic.   Believe it or not, how we say something is just as important as what we say. Keeping our tone calm and neutral ensures we’re addressing the behavior without reinforcing it.  Additionally, if your kids are engaging in unsafe behavior as a way to get your attention, take that as a cue to provide them with more attention proactively. Think about it—when we have plenty of something, we don’t crave it as much. Finally, you may need to teach them an alternative, more appropriate behavior to your attention.  ➡️ Comment TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on four crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier.  #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #teachersoftiktok

⭐️ Gift-giving prep: I learned to prepare Sophia beforehand about receiving gifts from people other than me.  It’s okay if she doesn’t love everything, but emphasizing the importance of saying “thank you” and graciously accepting the gift is key. ⭐️ This year when she expressed gratitude (“This gift is so nice!” or “I’m so lucky!”) I let her know how much that meant to me. ⭐️ A Funny Side Note: Interestingly, both last year and this year, Sophia’s favorite present was a small notebook I bought at the Scholastic book fair – it was like $6 😂! This reminds me not to overthink things and that sometimes the simplest gifts hold the most value. ⭐️ Comment READY if you’re prepared for an evidence-based toolkit that gives you the knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of raising children for more peaceful days. #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis #behavior #parenting #parentsofinstagram #positiveparenting #parentingtips #toddlers #toddlersofinstagram #behaviormanagement #parentsupport #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #parenttraining #parent #bcba #rbt #parentcoach #toddlertantrums #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #behavioranalysis #behavioranalyst #behaviors #parentingjourney #parentsbelike #parenthood #parentsoftiktok #kidsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

Bonus tip: If your kids don’t respond to your clear instruction stated as a DO statement, try breaking it down further for them. For example, if you tell your child it’s time to put on their clothes and they don’t stop what they’re doing, try telling them first, “Stand up,” and then continue with your instruction. Double bonus tip! If your child has a learning history of not following directions, be sure to provide your instruction in close proximity so you can give an immediate prompt if needed. With that being said, proactive strategies will ALWAYS be your BFF 💕. ➡️ Comment TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on 4 crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier.

What do you find reinforcing? For me it’s chocolate chip cookies, pizza, brownies, seltzer, and shopping 😂 There’s so much more that goes into reinforcement then we realize!  It’s not as simple as a sticker or a token and then hoping our child’s behavior changes.  Additionally, there’s even more to consider such as the effort, duration and magnitude— meaning, how MUCH of that reinforcer are you giving for how much work?  For example, I find money to be reinforcing but I won’t do my job for $20 a day.  ➡️ Comment TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on 4 crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier.

And don’t even get me started on the proactive strategies… Let me tell you something—when you effectively implement the principles of behavior in your home, it’s life-changing. And I have to be honest: it’s time to stop chasing quick fixes and trendy advice that barely work for a day. You deserve better than that, and so does your child. Does this take effort? Sure, a little.  But it’s nothing compared to the endless struggles, resistance, and power battles you deal with when you are always in fight or flight mode. The best part? Once you see the difference this makes, there’s no going back. It’s not just a strategy—it’s a remarkable science that transforms how you connect, teach, and grow with your child. ➡️ DM me READY to get your hands on my Practical Parenting: No Fluff, Just Results course, which will walk you through a comprehensive guide to managing your child’s behavior.
