I hope each and every one of you had an incredible day.

Today, I enjoyed time at the park with Preston while Abby enjoyed time at Kennywood.

What If You’ve Been Treating the Symptom, Not the Cause?

What if the behavior isn’t defiance… It’s dysregulation?

What if the “won’t” is actually a “can’t”?

And what if your child isn’t “manipulative”—but malnourished, overstimulated, or in pain?

I’ve worked with too many families who were told to just “be more consistent,” when what they really needed was someone to ask, “What’s going on beneath this behavior?”

In many cases, once we addressed gut health, nutritional gaps, or retained reflexes, the behavior changed without needing more consequences or rewards.

This is the heart of the Root Cause Revolution.

Stop managing symptoms. Start solving what’s underneath.

Case Study: Retained Reflexes and Restless

One child. Constant fidgeting. Night wakings. Daily meltdowns. We discovered a retained Moro reflex—one of the primitive reflexes that should integrate early in life. With targeted movements, things shifted: sleep improved, transitions smoothed, and calm returned. Sometimes the root cause is *wired in*.

The Day I Realized My Son’s Tantrums Were Blood Sugar Crashes

Every day at 3:00 PM, my son unraveled. We tried timers, schedules, and rewards—but nothing worked. Then I looked at what he was *eating*. A shift in snacks (protein + fat instead of crackers + juice) changed everything. Behavior is biology. And nutrition matters more than we’re told.
