Confident Kids.
The Parenting Course To Build Self-Esteem, Teach Values & Raise Kids with Grit
Are you struggling?
You’re trying to deal with the mundane daily grind of feeding, dressing, bathing, nose wiping, potty training, breaking up fights and of course never-ending sleep deprivation. Not to mention other aspects of daily life like work, meal prep, housework.
All this while dealing with back-talk, temper tantrums, whining, misbehavior, sibling rivalry and the absolute incessant ‘I’m bored!’ refrain. Enough to drive you crazy!
Funnily enough though, even after your child might have just thrown the craziest tantrum on planet Earth, when he looks up at you with his shining eyes and tooth-missing grin, you fall head-over-heals in love all over again. It’s kind of a twisted but beautiful joke that only parents get, am I right?
But You’re Wishing It Didn’t Have To Be That Way…
Parenting.
by far the most challenging, yet also most rewarding job. Ever.
Here are some of the most typical complaints I’ve heard from my clients:
Can you relate to any of these?
"It’s non stop arguments in my house, no one can ever seem to get along."
"I try not to give punishments or timeouts but then the misbehavior gets so out of hand I just don’t know what else to do. "
"I lose my patience so quickly with my kids! I just want to be a calm and patient parent - why is that so hard?"
"I’m burnt out and exhausted."
"I feel like I’m always doing housework and my kids just make mess after mess!"
"I wake up some mornings and feel like it’s just one long tantrum that lasts the whole day."
"I’m so inconsistent because the truth is I’m not sure what to do next."
"My pre-teen doesn’t stop talking back to me. I want to parent peacefully, but she just always wants to be in control."
I’m Lisa
And I totally get it.
I know how infuriating it can be to spend day after day dealing with tantrums, back-talk and non-stop misbehavior!
I know what it’s like to spend thousands on every different kind of therapy, only to feel like NO PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE.
I know, first hand, how devastating it can feel to see your child go through years of being friendless and feeling down. I also know how scary it is to sense you might lose your relationship with your child - or worse, be stuck in a head-lock for months at a time.
I want you to know: Your issues are not impossible to solve, you are not at a dead end. You are at the threshold of an incredible journey.
Even if you feel like you've tried everything and you're not sure where to turn next...
And YES... even If You Have The Most Strong-Willed, Chaotic Kid On Planet Earth! (trust me I've been there...)

““Lisa’s Parenting course, Confident Kids is just what you need. Lisa is that friend that commiserates about how tough parenting can be—but then she stops you in your tracks with awesome answers. As a mom of teens, I really thought I had heard it all, but Lisa inspired me to change how I view my kids, how I talk to them and what our interactions are like. I have high hopes for us. My favorite part is that she’s going to show you how to uncover the instinct YOU have to parent THESE kids. I truly believe that they are yours for a reason, and you can know what’s right to do in each circumstance.”.”

Self-esteem & confidence.
No parents want to hear their child say:
‘I can’t… I’m not smart enough… I don’t have any friends… There’s no way I can be successful.’
We all want to raise kids who are confident, who feel capable and have a ‘can-do’ attitude. Yet at the same time we want our children to enjoy their childhood, and not feel stressed out by extra-curricular demands. Being a well-adjusted child is much more difficult than most of us recall. So how do we accomplish this balancing act of helping them grow into successful adults, while building the self-esteem they need to accomplish anything they want to.
Kids who understand that they can affect the world and accomplish good – can do great things!
Our job is to help them discover their hidden potential and their God-given talents. In short, to believe in themselves.

Hear It from the parents
Note: Miracle Maker Mom became Be the Change Parenting in 2020
be the change your want to see in your children
you’re here for a reason.
Perhaps you’ve heard that voice inside that keeps whispering, “It doesn’t have to be like this. I know there’s a better way...”
Or maybe you’re feeling that feeling of guilt because you’re afraid of the negative affect your parenting might be having on your kids and you want to change things — but you haven’t yet figured out how.
That inner voice is correct. Your feelings are right.
You’ve barely scratched the surface of what you can achieve with your parenting, and you know it. But my guess is since you’re reading this, you’re ready to change all that.
Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, a working parent, a first-time mom or dad, adoptive parent... whether you're frustrated by lack of connection, communication, misbehavior, disrespect — whoever you are and whatever you're worried about, there’s one thing that’s certain:
Transforming your parenting into peaceful, connected parenting can profoundly change the quality of your and your children's life.
THIS is how we interrupt inter-generational patterns of dysfunction. To change the quality of your child’s life starts by reinvigorating yourself as the parent - not always easy in today’s world, but easier than you think.
After 22 years of parenting my own 8 kids, and 7 years of coaching other parents, I can honestly say that investing in learning the right tools can make all the difference, and one of the most meaningful things you can do for your children, as parents.
