You are NOT a bad parent or doing it wrong.

Time-outs & consequences aren’t working because they don't address the real problem. 

Focus On The Nervous System To Change Behavior

2-hour Parent Workshop

You’ll leave with some new tools to try and reassurance that you’re not alone.
I’ll share a bunch of resources and practical next steps!

Let’s tackle the Real Reasons kids can’t follow directions, settle for sleep, or keep their hands to themself…

Their Nervous System is Flooded.

Join me for a 2-hour workshop about what’s happening under the surface of off-track behavior and BIG reactions—so you can respond differently—and start shifting the vibe!

You can help them find their way back.

Spoiler: It ALL starts with the nervous system and what's below the surface—responding to the root cause instead of hatching ever-more-creative consequences!

Bring your questions & tune-up your toolbox

Regulated, connected kids who feel safe (and know what to do) behave well.

When we understand what behavior really is, we start to understand that kids with BIG, baffling behaviors don’t need bigger consequences. And star charts aren’t gonna cut it.

If it were all about rewarding the behaviors we want and ignoring the ones we don’t—parenting would be A LOT less messy.

Instead, we have to understand what’s driving the behavior…so we can help kids end up in another place.

One that is more connected, cooperative, and regulated.

It’s true for us, too.

Regulated, connected parents who feel safe (and know what to do) parent with compassion and flexible problem-solving.

I really want that for you.

Unpacking what’s causing the static—when kids DO mostly know better—means we’ve gotta focus on what’s under the surface.

So harmony can hang around…even when challenges show up. Because, I promise, there WILL be challenges.

And your new understanding of how stress influences every nervous system in your family can become your superpower.

So your kids can borrow your confidence and capacity.

And you can get out the door in the morning with less chaos.

Finally get some intel on why lunch isn’t getting eaten and behavior is way different between home and school.

Making new connections between outside behaviors and inside feelings means less confusion and more predictable bumps in the daily rhythm.

Enjoy your kids more while they’re awake.

I’ll share a connected, brain-based approach you can start using right away.

This workshop was created by Robyn Gobbel, host of The Baffling Behavior Show podcast!

Look under the surface of BIG behaviors.
So you can see them shift.

What parents are saying

  • "I’m recognizing signs more often of my child feeling dysregulated and needing connection. "

Ready to Move Beyond Rewards & Consequences?

You’re in the right place.

Parents drawn to my workshops are often raising kids with BIG behaviors, highly sensitive traits, or a growing awareness of neurodivergence.

This doesn’t necessarily mean you need special parenting support—but it probably means you’re frustrated with off-the-shelf parenting books, traditional behavior management strategies aren’t working, or what you discovered with your other kid(s) isn’t cutting the mustard currently.

Essential nervous system science, a focus on regulation, and non-verbal communication tools can help decrease the intensity and help us parents have a longer fuse—even before kids’ behavior starts to change.

This 2-hour LIVE online workshop for parents of preschool and elementary kids blends:

  • Immediately useful brain science to understand what’s really fueling off-track behavior

  • Behavior cues and clues to help decode their non-verbal communication and recognize how to respond

  • Fresh perspective on when and where to intervene, so you’re less exhausted!

  • Community and conversation with other parents—because BIG behaviors can be really isolating

  • More connection with your kids—practice what you learn right away, so after-school or weekend energy starts to shift

  • Multiply compassion and empathy for every member of your family—so your needs get met, too.

Join us live for Q+A!
I’ll save the last 30 minutes for questions.

Start on a new path

This 2-hour workshop offers a framework for seeing behavior differently.

You’ll gain perspective and a new context for how kids—and all of us humans—communicate needs and orient toward connection.
