Product Information

We are building a strong and secure family team, and are making plans and choices and agreements based on our shared values and dreams.

Finally, I have a framework and a roadmap to use to actually realize my vision for my (wonderful, beautiful, neurodivergent, challenging) family. Once I started practicing (because let's face it, you have to actually practice out of the moment and implement things for them to get better) my anchor and using the tools to survive the storm, I found that our storms weren't so debilitating. This long needed book provides a straightforward and non judgmental way for understanding even the most challenging behaviors of children and how to approach them in an accessible and supportive manner. EPISODE 38: Family life can sometimes feel like navigating a battlefield, filled with resentment, frustration, and a sense of failure. The Framework lays out in a way that is designed to be tailored to your individual family and situations.It wasn’t until she started to focus on connection by getting down on her son’s level and accepting him for who he was. I've read a lot of self-help and parenting books, and sometimes the author makes things so complicated that within a few weeks, I forget what I'm supposed to do, and all my learning goes out the window. And Calm the Chaos provides the scaffolding to help all parents, caregivers, teachers to take the next step in supporting the kids they care about.

Full disclosure the steps were hard for me to do at first not because they were time consuming or complex but because I had no experience of looking inward and no clue how to be calm. Ross Greene's "Raising Human Beings," "Beyond Behaviors" by Mona Delahooke, "Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors" by Robyn Gobbel, "Your Child is Not Broken" by Heidi Mavir, and "Low Demand Parenting" by Amanda Diekman are a few good ones. It helps me focus on the things that really matter each day and define where I should put my attention tomorrow. If you are looking for help, here is a fabulous solution for calming yourself, your child and your family. Now they trust that they will be heard and Christine can remain calm herself, meltdowns are now few and far between.Christine’s child melted down multiple times a day and it wasn’t just the kids adding fuel to the fire.

Calm the Chaos can bring you back in line if you are stressed out and irritable, it can also lift you back up if you are in a low place.However, after medication helped her child focus, he was suddenly able to use all the things she had been teaching him.

I believe the world will be a much better place as we start to engage in relationships (parenting and otherwise) using the Calm the Chaos model.
