Confident Parenting consists of a team of sleep, potty-training/toileting and behavior consultants as well as a comprehensive network of experts and resources for all your parenting needs. Born in 2011, our mission is to be your village of support as you navigate your parenting journey.
One of the biggest challenges families of young children face is coping with undesirable behaviors and wildly swinging emotions. While some behaviors may be age related phases, often they are the visible tip of an invisible iceberg or your child's only way of communicating an unmet need or lagging skill.
The Confident Parenting team is here to help you determine the root cause of your day to day emotional and behavioral challenges as well as to create and implement an action plan utilizing up to date, evidence based strategies so you can begin enjoying smoother family time. We can help you address:
* Tantrums
* Meltdowns
* Aggression
* Sibling Issues
* Potty Fear, Refusal, Accidents & Withholding
* Struggles Related to Mealtime, Transitions, & Daily Routines

Testimonials
"Kerri has provided an incredible experience for my children with Autism. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a plethora of information to share and implement. She applies all of her knowledge base into her work and it can be seen with the success of the children. She individualizes to the child’s needs and the family’s needs as well. Kerri takes the time to build positive relationships and rapport with the children she works with and their families. She provides incredibly helpful techniques and strategies that are research based and effective. Kerri shows ingenuity in order to help even the more challenging needs of children. Not only does she help on the ground by modeling and guidance with the child; but she is sure to help the adult working with the child to understand how to carry out the strategies in order to ensure long lasting effects. It has been an incredible opportunity to have worked with her and I give my greatest recommendation to any future families."
