The ProActive Parenting Program

 Instead of focusing only on controlling behavior, this program helps parents understand the challenges beneath explosive reactions and guide children toward developing the skills they need.

This approach draws on research and ideas influenced by experts such as:

• Ross W. Greene
• Daniel J. Siegel
• Stephen W. Porges
• Gordon Neufeld
• Gabor Maté
• Brené Brown   

• Shefali Tsbary   

 “Working with Lori taught me long-term parenting strategies that truly help my children develop the tools they need. She helped me separate my own childhood experiences from my parenting so I could respond to my kids more thoughtfully. I’m forever grateful for what I learned.”
— Mother of 16- and 11-year-old daughters

 “This work helped me reflect not only on my parenting but also on how I was parented. I realized that many of my fears as a parent came from my own experiences growing up. Lori helped me focus on what my child needs right now and how I can guide and support them in the moment.”
— Mother of a 11-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter 

 “Lori introduced me to the idea that children want to do well but sometimes don’t yet have the skills to succeed. That insight completely changed how I view behavior. I learned how to guide my son in developing frustration tolerance and coping skills while maintaining a strong, supportive connection.”
