Giving you tools that work with anyone
Parenting kids with RAD is so very difficult. Traditional parenting and behavioral tools just don’t cut it. We get it. No sticker chart in the world will create the behavior change you need to see. Our tips are useful, practical and work with our kids, their kids and just about anyone.

FAQs
Why is your advice different?
I tried it all. At some point I thought I was the problem because nothing was working. My advice is based mostly on lived experience but also backed by behavioral science. I am not a licensed professional; I’m “just a parent” like you.
Can you help me virtually?
Most clients are virtual. The beauty of the age we live in is that state boundaries play no part whatsoever. Our kids have similar behaviors everywhere.
My child goes to therapy already. Why should I talk to you?
If your kid is making progress with a therapist, that is wonderful! My guess is that you found this page because you just might need more. I can not and should not replace a therapist for your child or for you. What I can do is give you tools to reduce outbursts and tantrums (either yours or your kid’s). And that can pave the way to true healing in your home.
I’d like to get to continue our conversation. What’s next?
Join my one on one coaching program that meets once a week (45 mins) for 12 weeks. Email Admin@TheSimplifiedStruggle.com to learn more.
Can you help my child’s therapist, teacher, social worker, probation officer, understand WHY their responses need to be different for my child?
Yes! Absolutely! I work with an internationally known RAD specialist that can speak to groups, large and small. Simply email your needs and we can work something out. Virtual or on-site meetings are possible. Email me at Admin@TheSimplifiedStruggle.com
