Hi, Fam! ·

2019/07/29

Are schools like prison? A human rights violation? Is forced education immoral and abusive? If so… what are the millions and millions of parents with school-going kids to do?

Are you sabotaging your children’s behavior in subconscious ways, without even realizing it? You have a hidden power of influence that you may not even be aware of. Think about the last time you were at an airport or bus station, did someone have to verbally tell you or physically show you what to do?

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/04/18

“No mommy I love this, this is my all time favorite toy” – said every kid whose parent ever tried to declutter the toy that they have not touched in 2 years. Sound familiar? Tens of thousands of parents have gone through this free and simple process with me and it can make such a dramatic difference in their child’s play.
