Love Matters Parenting

09/02/2026

There is no such thing as a bad child. Really, Parents. Bad behavior is your child's way of communicating what is happening internally. The problem is when children from difficult beginnings express themselves their behaviors are so much BIGGER in frequency, intensity and duration. That because the traumatic experience(s) from their past have imprinted their brains and wired them differently. It is just NOT that easy for a child to Let Go of what happened. Traditional parenting techniques and disciplinary measures just make the behaviors worse by making our children feel disregarded, dismissed, devalued or distressed. The answer will always be brain-based, address the child's needs so they can heal and empower you, the parent to parent your child in a way that works for YOUR family.

Parents, if you are like me, you feel SO frustrated when people insist that your child's behavior are typical because they just have NO idea what you are experiencing. That's because your child's behaviors are BIGGER, LONGER and more INTENSE than typical children. When I brought my kids home from the foster care system, people told me that So Much that I thought that I was Just NOT cut out for parenting. After years of searching for solutions ... therapists, parenting experts and punishments that just made things worse.... everything changed once I found out that my children were struggling with Complex Developmental Trauma. Once I understood what was behind the chaos and intensity, then I could become the parent my children needed me to be.

Have you ever tried to cook a special meal without the right equipment? Sometimes the substitutions work but sometimes you just end up tired, hungry and frustrated! Well, our children are also special. They require different tools than typical children because their lives have been anything but typical. They have been through more and they need more than the parenting styles that seem to work for other kids. When I brought my kids home from the foster care system over 25 years ago, I quickly became aware that typical parenting was not going to work for them. I searched and searched and tried parenting experts, therapists and medications but Nothing seemed to work and they just kept getting worse! Once I discovered that my children's behavior was stemming from Complex Developmental Trauma, then I was able to design the Love+ Parenting program, which has been working for parents like you for two decades. In this program, the emphasis is on empowering you, the parent, with the Right Tools as well as the know-how to apply them in the Right Order and at the Right time. We don't just throw a whole lot of information at you. We give you what you need in a manner that will get you the maximum results as quickly as possible. Never again, will you feel like a bad parent, alone and judged. We support you each step of the way as you transform your life from chaos to freedom! Most of all, we understand how you feel because we have felt the same way too - hopeless and burned out.
