The Compass 4 Life

I have a resource for you and a favor to ask...

If you know a parent (or are that parent) who's struggling with daily meltdowns, power struggles, or feeling like nothing works with their child — I created something just for them.

My free guide “End Meltdowns and Power Struggles Without All the Drama” is helping parents take back control and support their kids without yelling, snapping, or second-guessing themselves.

If you’ve found my content helpful — would you do me a huge favor and share this post or tag a parent who could use this resource?

Here’s the link to the free guide 👉 https://courses.thecompass4life.com/free-meltdown-ebook

Thanks for helping me get this into the hands of the families who need it most!

Do you avoid family outings because of your child's behavior?

**🍽️ Imagine going out to eat and actually enjoying it—**
**no meltdowns, no stress.**

---

Earlier this week, I had an initial meeting with a set of parents who have 4 children.
I asked them this question:

👉 *"If we could turn this around and get the results you are looking for (an emotionally and behaviorally regulated child), what would be the best part?"*

Their response was almost identical to every other parent I work with:

- "There would be more peace"
- "My child would be happy"
- "My child would have more confidence"
- "I would know what to do"
- "There would not be constant stress and conflict"

I asked:
**"If there was more peace, what would your family be doing?"**

They said:
**"We could go out to eat as a family and ENJOY it.**
I wouldn't have to worry about them having a meltdown or outburst and ruining it for everyone else."

---

**Can you relate?**

What do you avoid doing as a family because your child doesn’t know how to regulate himself?

What would your family be doing if you were able to turn this around and had more peace?

---

**I have great news.**
**ALL OF THE ABOVE IS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR FAMILY.**
Your hopes and dreams for “family time” are within reach.

You just need the **right approach** and the **right tools.**

---

✨ *And I can show you how.*

I’ve helped hundreds of parents teach their child(ren) how to control and regulate **themselves.**

It only takes **3 simple steps.**

**Want to learn how?**
🎓 I’m hosting a **FREE parent masterclass** to show you how.

**😬 Time for me to eat some humble pie…**

Ever have one of those *gut-punch* parenting moments?

Not a minor mistake…
But something that really hurt your child — and you had no idea you were even doing it?

That happened to me last weekend.

I asked my son to help with a chore he hates: dragging tree branches to the burn pile.
I expected complaints, slacking off, and drama. And guess what I saw?

- He took breaks
- Carried one stick at a time
- Goofed off
- Bugged his siblings

I nagged him the whole time.
And my other kids followed my lead.

Then came the punch in the gut:

> “**Dad, sorry I’m such a disappointment to you.**”

He wasn’t wrong.
Even though I never said those words, I *sent* that message loud and clear.

But here’s the truth…

If I had watched a recording of the day, I would’ve seen that he actually helped — 80% of the time.

✅ Carried hundreds of branches
✅ Raked
✅ Hauled
✅ Showed up

And I said NOTHING. Because I was primed to only see the 20% that wasn’t working.

---

Thankfully, I have tools to *repair* moments like this.
I’ve trained my brain to see the 80%.

And I want to show you how — especially if your child is wired like mine and doesn’t respond to typical parenting.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I’m offering a **FREE 90-minute Parent Masterclass** next week.

Have you ever considered parent coaching?

Here is a testimony from parents:

"I did and it was a game changer. "Intense" kids don't normally respond well to "typical" parenting...in fact it often backfires. Getting some good coaching on exactly what to do and what not to do has been the best investment we have made.....we were able to get the changes we were looking for without the need for therapy or meds"
