Success Stories

  • The TV Detox

    Mid-pandemic, I realized certain popular children’s TV shows led to meltdowns, hyperactivity, and aggressive behaviors in my 3 year old son. I began researching the effects of screen-time on the developing brain, adjusting our screen-time habits, and watching him transform into a new child.

    Tired of endless meltdowns, sleepless nights, and nonstop behavioral challenges? Learn how to support independent play, discover your child’s “baseline”, and make empowered decisions about early screen-time.

  • Mother Wildflowers

    Do you ever feel like, if only you could do more and be “better”, you could maybe, just maybe, be the parent you always hoped you would be? I have good news for you: young children thrive when parents do less. I’m talking less expensive activities, less Pinterest crafts, less teaching, and certainly less playing together.

    When we’re able to release control, allow time for boredom, prioritize meaningful connection, and delight in our children, we can thrive while they develop into capable, kind, happy, and resilient humans.

  • Nurture Wildflowers

    Are you worried about your little one falling “behind” academically? Are you tired of scouring the internet for playful learning activities? Do you feel overwhelmed by the pressure to pack “enough” learning into your young child’s day?

    Carry our “do less” parenting philosophy into early education by learning how to support true play-based learning at home for ages 2-8. Learn how to support your toddler’s early academics at home, homeschool your 4-8 year old, or advocate for your young child in your local school system.
