*Meant for families with elementary + kids.

What’s Included?

THE TOOLS THAT MAKE CONSISTENCY EASY:

- 80-Minute Workshop: We give you everything you need and nothing you don’t so that you can start creating positive change ASAP.

- Editable Family Rules Document: Get clear about what’s not ok and use our done-for-you rules (or create your own) and consequences instead of repeating yourself 100 times and then losing your cool on the 101st or blurting out consequences that are impossible to follow through on.

- Good Habit Cards: A fail-proof system for discipline that one of my clients called “Discipline for Dummies.”

- Chores System Options for Younger and Older Kids: We crack the code on your kids’ currency and show you how to have built-in accountability and deadlines so YOU don’t have to be the motivation. My kids ASK me what extra chores can be done. I don’t have weirdly helpful and obedient kids; I have a system that sets us up for success.

- Monthly Q+A with Mika: Ask questions and get feedback about your specific-to-you stuck spots on our monthly Q+A Calls with Therapist + Relationship Coach Mika Ross.

This is especially for parents with ADHDers and BIG-feeling kids who need high and consistent boundaries AND high warmth.

Our Story

“The plan had to be simple and clear: if THIS, then THAT, so that everyone (including the kids) knew what to expect and could be on the same page.”

It took an ADHD diagnosis of one of our kiddos and the realization that this kid, especially, thrived in environments with HIGH structure and HIGH boundaries for me to sit down and sift through

  • info in my brain and on my bookshelves to integrate the best of what I know from my understanding of motivation, affective neuroscience, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, behavior change, several parenting theoretical frameworks, and the 36 sections of Human Growth and Development I'd taught to create a highly detailed parenting plan. 

    I knew my husband and I had to be on the same page, and having him read 10+ books and mastering knowledge in a Human Growth and Development textbook to fully understand the plan wasn't going to happen. 

    The plan had to be simple and clear: if THIS, then THAT, so that everyone (including the kids) knew what to expect and could be on the same page. I'm sharing it all with you in this workshop. You'll get done-for-you Family Rules document, Good Habit Cards (a cool system for discipline that helps you keep your COOL), and chore systems that can't fail. These are all customizable, so you can add your own flair if you’d like.

    And I'll be on call for a Q+As so that we can get you through your specific-to-you stuck spots.

    THE RESULTS?? The nanosecond we implemented the plan, our lives became easier. It worked for reasons I couldn't even anticipate.

    For years, one of our highly sensitive kids had thought that we favored the other 2. No matter how we explained that this wasn't the case, she didn't buy it. Feeling like you're the “least favorite” is not a good way to feel, and you can imagine this, in and of itself, led to her acting out…which then became a weird self-fulfilling prophecy. 

    Once the plan was implemented, she could SEE that the consequences were the SAME for everyone in the house and could no longer perceive that hers were “worse”. Her attitude immediately changed. It. was. wild.

    Our kiddo with ADHD, who sometimes impulsively or compulsively did or said things, had a way to work off and through her guilt with the consequences (not punishments…very important distinction) within the system for discipline. Instead of us just calling her out on “not ok” things and her feeling bad, she had something to DO to make it better…which really seemed to lessen her feelings of shame and, therefore, the anger episodes that often led to her getting in trouble decreased.

    Over the years, I've shared this system with clients with reactions like, “Gawd, how did you think of all this?” 

    BUT THE #1 REASON WHY I'M CONVINCED I SHOULD SHARE is that my kids (who really dislike the plan, btw) say that they think families we know and come in contact with should use it. WHAT?!

    Me, “Wait, wait, wait, I thought you hated the family rules and the good habit cards?”

    Them, “Well, I do. I mean…WE don't need it, but OTHER PEOPLE DO.” While not the nicest thing to say…it is a testament to the plan. They see other parents flailing, and it’s clear to them they need a plan.

    This workshop is meant for parents of elementary-aged kids and older, but it will also include some applicable ideas for smaller kiddos.

“Mika, we can't thank you enough for helping us create this parenting plan. It isn't even what we came to you for! But you quickly recognized that it was sorely needed. Our relationship has more space, our home is more peaceful, and not being “enemies” in regards to parenting feels SO GOOD. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!”
