I was fully prepared to let the sale end last night.

But then several parents emailed me saying some version of:

“Dr. Lockhart, I want this… I just need a little more time.”

I get it.

When you’re busy being the family’s frontal lobe, finding time to take care of you is the hardest part.

So I extended it.

Plus, I'm home all day since we're staying off the icy roads here in San Antonio.

So, we had a family meeting yesterday reviewing the same concepts I discussed in the course (noticing the room as you leave, resetting your room and common areas, doing the laundry, getting homework done).

I think you know. It's your life too.

This is your LAST chance to get 60% off my course:

How to Stop Being the Frontal Lobe for the Entire Family​

✅ Offer expires TONIGHT (Mon, Jan 26) at midnight CST​

✅ After that, the price goes back up

This is a concept from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).

It is based on learning to approach your distressing situation in a different way.

Accepting your child as they are might seem radically different, especially if there are things they literally need to change.

However, nagging, yelling, correcting, and constantly trying to change their behavior is not working.

What if you changed your approach, left the battlefield, and lived your life fully and completely as a parent to your child?

What if you focused instead on simply enjoying your child?

Wouldn't it be great to have the relationship you've always wanted with your child?

Need helping doing this?

We can help at A New Day Pediatric Psychology.

We offer parent coaching and have appointments available this week.

Light the way for your children.

Children are a joy and a beautiful...ummm...

Hold the phone. You might be saying, "That's not my experience."

You might regret becoming a parent.

I know it sounds horrible to write it down, let alone say it out loud. It doesn't change the fact that you still feel it.

Sometimes you feel it a little bit. Other days you feel it a lot.

Maybe you feel unfulfilled by parenting and are waiting for it to get good, to be fun, to feel like there is meaning behind it all.

Parenting is tough work.

There are so many messages out there that cause you to feel you're doing something wrong, because you don't find this parenting gig to be all that great.

That's okay. Sometimes it's not.

Sit with that. Be uncomfortable for a little while. Know you are not the only one.

Okay. What do you want to do now? Continue to feel regret, wallow in your misery, or do something about it?

Now move. Start to meet your child/teenwhere they are. Enjoy their personality.

Join us here on the journey. Our Team can provide virtual/online parent coaching.

Call or text us at 210-816-4149.

We're not in the office today, but we'll call/text you back tomorrow once we thaw out.

Take that step and do something different.

If your house is anything like mine right now, you’ve got:

The reminder system.

One of the hardest parts of working with teens is misinterpreting “resistance”.

Resistance covers up overwhelm, shame, fear, burnout, pain, and loneliness.

I had the opportunity to teach on this at the Mount Sinai Parenting Center and with 52 audience feedback evaluations, the message landed exactly where it needed to.

I love supporting providers with tools they can model in real time, even in short visits, to help parents reduce conflict and build connection.

Summary: Transform Your Teen Relationships: Dr. Lockhart's Game-Changing Approach Wows Parents and Professionals

Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart delivered an exceptional talk that provided practical tools for connecting with challenging teens. Her step-by-step approach and ready-to-use scripts left the audience feeling equipped and inspired. "Excellent and easy to understand information that is ready to use the same day!" raved one attendee, while another appreciated how she "does a great job breaking it down step by step and giving great examples."

This happens almost every single year in San Antonio since I've been here and I've lived here 20 years.

There's always a "storm of the century" warning ⚠️ and the city preparing to shut everything down.

People filling up their gas tanks
Buying up toilet paper 🧻
Getting all the non-persishable canned goods

It's like a feeding frenzy.

It's expected to be a 2 or 3 day cold spell. But, maybe not.

Yes, be prepared but turn down the volume on crisis mode.

How I'm preparing:
1. Wrapping our outside faucets
2. Flashlights ready
3. Easy meals to eat in case of power outage
4. Drip faucets
5. Phones charged
6. Board and card games ready (Uno, Operation, Life, Trash)
7. Line up movies and shows to watch

Where are you?
What kind of weather are you expecting this weekend?

Let's share ⤵️ The good, the bad....

Parents burn out when they become the frontal lobe for the entire family. Believe me, I know.

Some days, I feel like my teens can’t do anything unless I’m directing each step of the process.

If I don’t remind, repeat, check, and follow up, it either won’t get done…or it won’t get done well.

And I’ll catch myself thinking, How hard can it be?

Then I remember my teen self. The lack of motivation I possessed over “the simple things” was honestly pretty embarrassing. 😩

How quickly we forget when we pass a stage of life.

Your child’s brain is still developing the skills that help them plan, start, and follow through.

And when those executive functioning skills are shaky (especially with ADHD, anxiety, stress, or just being a teen), parents end up carrying way more than we were ever meant to carry.

That’s why I created How to Stop Being the Frontal Lobe for the Entire Family!

For the next 72 hours, you can get 60% off if you enroll today. Don't miss out on this offer!
