Going with the flow would be so much easier if the schedules, kids, and emotions cooperated… is that so hard?!

PS… Trying to control everything doesn’t mean you are rigid, it usually means you’re overwhelmed and carrying too much. 💕

Almost every teen I work with says some version of this: “My parents love me. They just don’t understand me.”

Kids don’t experience love the same way as adults do. Giving “everything” isn’t always the same as giving what’s needed.

Note: Not all over-giving is indulgence. Sometimes it’s unresolved grief from childhood.

The good news? Patterns can change.

If this resonates, you’re not behind. You’re evolving. ☺️

Because parenting today is harder.

In Chapter One of my book, Building Your House of Harmony, I talk about the evolution of parenting and why the tools many of us were raised with don’t work well for this generation of overstimulated, overwhelmed kids and teens.

If you’re noticing that:

▫️the old strategies escalate things
▫️your reactions don’t match your values
▫️love isn’t the issue, but connection feels strained

That’s often the sign you’re ready for modern tools—tools that focus on skills, regulation, and repair, not control or perfection.

Small shifts like these aren’t about lowering expectations. They’re about parenting this generation with clarity, confidence, and connection.

I’m currently taking new clients in 2026. DM me to see how I can help you feel more regulated emotionally and more connected to your family.

Does this sound like your home?

The good news? When I hear this, it’s actually a green flag for me.

It narrows things down.

Because in most cases, it means one (or both) of these things are happening:
• Your child doesn’t yet have the skills to communicate what they’re really feeling
• Or they don’t feel safe enough to do it at home
• (And yes—sometimes it’s both)

This isn’t something being “wrong” with you or your kid…

It’s about learned patterns of behavior when nervous systems are overloaded.

I go much deeper into why these patterns show up and how to shift it in my book, “Building Your House of Harmony.”
👉 If you have the book, open to Chapter 7—it’s often a lightbulb moment for parents.
👉 If you don’t, I highly recommend picking up a copy. Link’s in my bio.

And if you’re looking for more in-depth, personalized guidance to:
• Reduce anger and conflict at home
• Improve communication
• Feel closer to your child again
• And stay calm without walking on eggshells

✨ I’m currently taking new clients.
Message me and let’s talk about what’s going on in your home.

You’re not alone in this—and this pattern is more workable than you think.

Parenting isn’t meant to fit neatly into labels like gentle, helicopter, or hybrid.

After years of working closely with families and studying child development, neuroscience, and behavior, I’ve seen the same thing again and again: when kids’ three basic needs are met — connection, self-determination, and safety (both physical and emotional) — behavior improves naturally.

When those needs are in place, children don’t need to be controlled, they actually want to do better.

This science-backed framework is what I shared on today’s PIX 11 news segment and what I write about in my book (link in BIO).

Great news! I’m currently accepting new coaching clients for 2026 — message me if you want support that feels clear, calm, and doable.

Happy parenting! Xo Deborah

What did I miss? Parents, tell me—what feels MOST different about raising kids today compared to how you were raised?

Here’s what I see:

🏠 More democratic households- two working parents sharing decisions (kids want a say too!)

📱 Screens that are ALWAYS on- extra things to worry about

📅 Kids are overscheduled and exhausted

🎓 Academic pressure that would’ve made our parents’ heads spin

🧠 Mental health challenges we weren’t even talking about in 1985

The world they’re growing up in is fundamentally different which means they need us to parent differently too.

P.S. Speaking of navigating this new world… I’m co-hosting a FREE panel discussion called “Growing Up Online: Supporting Kids’ Mental Health in a Digital Age” on Thursday, January 15th at Northport Books in Northport, NY. A panel of experts will be sharing practical strategies to help your kids make healthy tech choices.

Message me for details!

Read that again. 👆

The holidays bring SO much pressure to people-please, overextend, and say yes to everything. But your kids are watching… and learning what boundaries look like (or don’t).

You’re allowed to protect your peace. Even during the “most wonderful time of the year.”

I created a guide to help moms stay sane this holiday season — with less guilt, better boundaries, and more tools to actually enjoy this time with your family.

Comment “SANITY” and I’ll send the link your way. ❤️💚💙
