Parent Guidance & Professional Consultation for Explosive & Strong-Willed Children
The ProActive Parenting Intensive
For Parents of Explosive, Strong Willed or Highly Reactive Children
When Your Child's Behavior Feels Out of Control
and Nothing You’ve Tried Is Working
The Problem Parents Face
If your child is:
- having meltdowns when they don’t get their way
- yelling, hitting, or becoming aggressive
- refusing to listen or do simple things like brushing teeth or going to bed
- taking over the entire mood of the house
…and you feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells just trying to keep things from blowing up,
You’re not alone.
And you’re not doing anything wrong...... something important is being missed.
Many parents of explosive children feel trapped in constant power struggles.
Simple requests lead to arguments or meltdowns.
Parents often feel like they are walking on eggshells.
This is for parents who:
- feel like nothing is working anymore
- are exhausted from the constant battles
- feel like their child is running the house
- are questioning themselves as a parent
Even if you’ve tried therapy, read books, or gotten advice that didn’t help.
What Makes This Parent Intensive Different
Most approaches focus on:
- stopping the behavior
- giving consequences
- getting your child to comply
When a child is this reactive, those approaches stop working.
Because the behavior you’re seeing is not the problem.
It’s your child’s way of:
- coping with something overwhelming
- responding to expectations they can’t manage in that moment
- signaling that something underneath isn’t working
And until that’s understood, nothing really changes.
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 work is informed by approaches such as:
- Ross Greene
- Dan Siegel
- Stephen Porges
- Gordon Neufeld
- Dr Shefali Tabary
and shaped through over my 25 years of working directly with children and families.
How the Intensive works
In this Parent Intensive, we don’t work on your child in isolation.
We work on what’s actually happening in the moments that keep repeating in your home.
You will learn how to:
- understand what’s really driving your child’s behavior
- recognize the patterns that lead to meltdowns
- respond in ways that reduce escalation instead of fueling it
- help your child feel understood without giving in
- work through problems together instead of constantly fighting
This is not about being a “perfect parent.”
It’s about finally understanding what’s going on—and knowing what to do when it happens.
Results Parents Often Experience
“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.”
— Single mother of a 5-year-old son
