BRAIN FIRST
PARENTING
A Roadmap for Parenting Children
with Challenging Behaviors
Maybe you're frustrated...
​
that your home is in a constant state of tension and chaos, and it feels like nothing you do as a parent works to make your child, the source of this chaos, any less challenging. You find yourself feeling angry and resentful that all your efforts to parent your child, using very good parenting techniques and approaches your parents used with you, and your friends use with their children, seem to make your child's behavior worse. You're tired of feeling as though you're fighting a losing battle when it comes to teaching your child right from wrong, and that actions have consequences. You have a growing sense of hopelessness that the relationships other parents have with their kids just isn't possible for you and your child.
​
You just need...
​
straight-forward information on how to help your challenging child and your family experience less tension and more joy. You want to do what's best for all of them, but don't know where to begin. You need a roadmap that helps you understand your child's behaviors in a different way, so that from there, you can parent them more successfully. You just need to understand why what you've been doing isn't working, and what you can do instead. You need a space and information that is specifically tailored to the unique experience of being a parent to a child who struggles in big ways.
Flexible. Supportive. Impactful.
Transform Your Parenting Over 8 Weeks
This workshop is the perfect balance of flexibility and support—giving you the space to learn at your pace, and the support to keep the momentum going and grow with confidence.
A course created for you.
​
I know how busy your days are, and how finding time to focus on you can feel impossible. That’s why I created this 8-week course with your real life, and all its complexities, in mind.
When you join, you’ll have access to all eight of the pre-recorded Brain First Parenting modules to watch when it works for you—early morning, after bedtime, during a lunch break—whatever fits the rhythm of your week. These lessons are packed with practical tools and brain-based insight to help you better understand and support your child (and yourself).
And you won’t be doing it alone. Each week, for eight consecutive weeks, you’ll also have the chance to join me and other parents for a live, 1-hour Zoom call. It’s your chance to keep the learning momentum going, ask questions and feel supported by me and other people who really get it.
It’s the perfect mix of flexibility and real-time support — so you can learn, grow, and feel less alone, without having to upend your schedule.
How it works:
Self-Paced, Hassle-Free Learning:
Each week, you’ll watch a pre-recorded module filled with practical strategies and brain-based insights that you can watch any time that fits your schedule. You can watch the lesson in the Brain First Parenting course room or listen to the lesson on-the-go via a private podcast feed.
Live Weekly Group Coaching Calls:
Each week you have the opportunity to join a 1-hour Zoom session with Eileen for Q&A and personal support, continuing the momentum and further integrating all you're learning.
​
Flexible Learning + Support = Clarity:
Learn in a way that feels doable given your busy schedule and your child’s complex needs — and walk away each week with tools you can immediately apply at home. You can revisit the modules any time in the future, with lifetime access to the course room and private podcast feed.

Meet Eileen
Eileen is a parent coach, consultant, trainer, and mom to a teenager with neurobehavioral differences.
Eileen has over 20 years of clinical experience and is the adoptive mother of a child with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), a serious neurobehavioral condition. She believes that when we understand the way a child's brain works, we then understand the meaning behind challenging behaviors. Eileen's goal is to not only support parents in feeling more competent and confident in connecting with their child by parenting from a Brain First perspective, but to also recognize their experience as the parent of a child with challenging behavioral symptoms and the impact this has on their sense of self and well-being. When these two sides of the coin can be equally addressed, there is less frustration and increased hope in this unique parenting journey.
​
Eileen has her License in Clinical Social Work and is an experienced educator, facilitating dozens of trainings each year for both parents and professionals. In addition to facilitating trainings for organizations nationally and internationally, Eileen is also an instructor for C.A.S.E.’s Training for Adoption Competency, where she trains mental health professionals in becoming adoption competent.​​

"This course definitely helped me understand a lot about my daughter, which I expected would happen, but what surprised me was how much I learned about myself, too."
Julie R., parent
"Eileen spoke to many emotions that I've been experiencing, and helped me see a way through. Not only is her professional expertise evident, but I found her personal experience with this to be even more insightful."

“This course changed our lives. We have hope now, not only for our son, but for each of us as we learn to navigate his disability and continue to incorporate this model into our daily lives.”
