Does this sound like your home?

The good news? When I hear this, it’s actually a green flag for me.

It narrows things down.

Because in most cases, it means one (or both) of these things are happening:
• Your child doesn’t yet have the skills to communicate what they’re really feeling
• Or they don’t feel safe enough to do it at home
• (And yes—sometimes it’s both)

This isn’t something being “wrong” with you or your kid…

It’s about learned patterns of behavior when nervous systems are overloaded.

I go much deeper into why these patterns show up and how to shift it in my book, “Building Your House of Harmony.”
👉 If you have the book, open to Chapter 7—it’s often a lightbulb moment for parents.
👉 If you don’t, I highly recommend picking up a copy. Link’s in my bio.

And if you’re looking for more in-depth, personalized guidance to:
• Reduce anger and conflict at home
• Improve communication
• Feel closer to your child again
• And stay calm without walking on eggshells

✨ I’m currently taking new clients.
Message me and let’s talk about what’s going on in your home.

You’re not alone in this—and this pattern is more workable than you think.

Parenting isn’t meant to fit neatly into labels like gentle, helicopter, or hybrid.

After years of working closely with families and studying child development, neuroscience, and behavior, I’ve seen the same thing again and again: when kids’ three basic needs are met — connection, self-determination, and safety (both physical and emotional) — behavior improves naturally.

When those needs are in place, children don’t need to be controlled, they actually want to do better.

This science-backed framework is what I shared on today’s PIX 11 news segment and what I write about in my book (link in BIO).

Great news! I’m currently accepting new coaching clients for 2026 — message me if you want support that feels clear, calm, and doable.

Happy parenting! Xo Deborah

What did I miss? Parents, tell me—what feels MOST different about raising kids today compared to how you were raised?

Here’s what I see:

🏠 More democratic households- two working parents sharing decisions (kids want a say too!)

📱 Screens that are ALWAYS on- extra things to worry about

đź“… Kids are overscheduled and exhausted

🎓 Academic pressure that would’ve made our parents’ heads spin

🧠 Mental health challenges we weren’t even talking about in 1985

The world they’re growing up in is fundamentally different which means they need us to parent differently too.

P.S. Speaking of navigating this new world… I’m co-hosting a FREE panel discussion called “Growing Up Online: Supporting Kids’ Mental Health in a Digital Age” on Thursday, January 15th at Northport Books in Northport, NY. A panel of experts will be sharing practical strategies to help your kids make healthy tech choices.

Read that again. 👆

The holidays bring SO much pressure to people-please, overextend, and say yes to everything. But your kids are watching… and learning what boundaries look like (or don’t).

You’re allowed to protect your peace. Even during the “most wonderful time of the year.”

I created a guide to help moms stay sane this holiday season — with less guilt, better boundaries, and more tools to actually enjoy this time with your family.

Comment “SANITY” and I’ll send the link your way. ❤️💚💙

Anyone else feel the way I looked in this picture from Christmas Eve…. LAST YEAR!

I was mid holiday-headache. My husband caught this and said he was “proud of me for keeping it together.”

He was right- I was REALLY trying hard not to snap at anyone.

Not exactly the calm, present parent I wanted to be. But definitely the most honest version. (I’m only human right?!)

Because here’s what nobody talks about enough:

We want to create magic… and somehow we end up overwhelmed, overstimulated, and drowning in guilt after we snap at the people we love most.

The pressure is real.
The meltdowns (theirs AND ours) are real.
The silent shame? Also very real.

So if you’re feeling this right now — wondering why you’re so stressed when this is supposed to be joyful, or beating yourself up for not being more patient — you’re not failing. You’re human. And your nervous system is overloaded.

After this breaking point moment in the photo, I knew I needed to create something to help moms get through the holidays differently. Something with real tools to stay grounded, more compassion for ourselves, and less guilt when stress takes over.

That’s why I created the Holiday Calm Parenting Bundle.

I’ll drop the link in the comments for anyone who needs it. ❤️

But mostly? I just wanted you to know you’re not the only one feeling this way. 💙

If screen time feels like the daily battlefield in your home — the arguing, the eye rolls, the pushback, the guilt — you’re not imagining it.

Parenting in 2025 is a completely different world, and most of us were never taught how to set screen limits without starting a fight.

That’s exactly why I created Screen Time Harmony — so you can stop reacting, stop nagging, and finally feel confident setting boundaries your kids actually follow. (In 7 days!)

The Black Friday sale starts today- Friday 11/28 for 75%. Only for one week!

If you are a parent and feel overwhelmed, one of the wisest decisions you can make is investing in your personal development and seek the guidance of a parenting therapist.

11/19/2025

Parenting differently is hard enough without being told you’re doing it wrong by people you want to count on the most!! (And who frankly- may not understand this generation of kids!)

I see you and I can help you.

I teach parents how to break generational cycles with tools that actually work on Gen Z. No judgment. No shame. Just real strategies that create cooperation instead of conflict.

Struggling with screen time conflicts with your kids?

⏰Set your alarm for Black Friday 11/28, 8am EST for my e-course Screen Time Harmony SALE (the biggest sale yet!)

You don’t have to keep doing this alone. 💙

Because another year of the same fights, the same sneaking, the same meltdowns aren’t going to magically fix themselves.

Gen Z kids don’t respond to the parenting we grew up with—and if what you’re doing isn’t working, it’s time to try something different.

In Screen Time Harmony you get:
✨ The exact scripts to end the screen time battles without becoming the bad guy
✨A step-by-step framework to teach your kid the skills they’re actually missing (not just take away their devices)
✨ The peace of knowing you’re raising a child who can self-regulate—not one who needs you to police their every move

The biggest deal of the year drops THIS WEEK for Black Friday.
