Raising a child today comes with profound challenges — and profound opportunities.
This course is designed for parents who find themselves feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to guide their children through emotional and behavioral struggles. Whether your child is acting out, shutting down, or testing limits, you are not alone — and you are not failing.
“So My Kid is an Asshole?” offers a compassionate, research-based roadmap to help you break unhealthy patterns, build deep emotional connections, and foster resilience in your child. Through a series of reflective lessons, actionable strategies, and emotional intelligence tools, you’ll develop the skills needed to create a more balanced, supportive family environment.
You will explore your own parenting blueprint, identify problematic behaviors with clarity, strengthen your relationship with your child, and implement effective discipline that teaches rather than punishes. The course also dives into lifestyle foundations such as nutrition, exercise, screen time habits, and when and how to thoughtfully consider medication as part of a support plan.
By the end of this course, you will not only understand your child’s behavior more deeply, but you will also be equipped to model emotional regulation, set clear and healthy expectations, and create a long-term growth plan that nurtures both your child’s and your own development.
Parenting is not about perfection — it’s about showing up with consistency, compassion, and courage.
Let this course be your starting point toward a more connected, resilient future with your child.
Every parent carries a unique set of beliefs, values, and reactions shaped by their own childhood experiences. These influences can be conscious or unconscious and may significantly impact how you respond to your child’s behavior. Understanding these influences helps you interrupt unhealthy cycles and create a more intentional parenting style.
This lesson helps parents identify specific behaviors in their child that are causing conflict, assess how those behaviors are expressed, and begin to prioritize which ones need addressing first. Clarity is a powerful tool in the healing process.
Children are incredibly perceptive and mimic the actions, tone, and habits of those around them. This lesson highlights how children absorb emotional and behavioral cues from their environment—especially from parents.
Understanding your parenting style is critical. It’s not about labeling yourself, but identifying patterns so you can parent with more intention and less reactivity.
Strong relationships are protective. They reduce the risk of substance use, increase emotional regulation, and build a child’s resilience to stress.
Discipline should teach, not punish. This lesson will help you match discipline techniques to each child’s needs and ensure your reactions are grounded in emotional regulation.
When parenting challenges persist despite your best efforts, it’s normal to wonder if medication might help. This lesson gives you a balanced, stigma-free overview of your options.
Nutrition and physical movement are foundational to your child’s brain chemistry and mood stability.
They are often overlooked when behavior issues arise.
Digital devices are part of life—but unchecked screen time can negatively affect your child’s mood, sleep, and behavior. This lesson explores the science and strategies behind healthy screen use.
Goal-setting teaches responsibility and gives your child ownership over their progress. This lesson walks you through how to co-create SMART goals.
Children learn more from what we model than what we mandate. This lesson invites you to look inward and align your behavior with the values you’re trying to teach.
Behavioral change is not a one-time fix—it’s an ongoing process. This final lesson guides you in building a sustainable, reviewable strategy for your child’s and your family’s growth.
