How do I know if I'm doing this parenting thing right?

  • Temper tantrums.
  • Difficulty going from one activity to another.
  • Simple things like bedtime and tooth brushing turning into battles. 
  • Stomach aches
  • Worry about what they're watching,
  • Having to say no to them when they ask to buy yet another cheap plastic toy over and over and over again...


How do you help your kids grow into healthy, autonomous adults while also keeping them safe and happy at the same time?

Limited Space Available

There will only be 3 sessions offered in 2024. Winter, Spring, and Fall. Each has 10 weekly meetings via video chat. There will be a limited number of spots available - my goal is to give each participant a lot of individualized attention.

How do I know if it's a cry for help?

  • They have weird sleep schedules, and need so much of it!
  • They are getting so much screen time.
  • They live for their online friend groups, and I don't know what's going on.
  • They seem like they're Isolating or withdrawing, and I miss connecting with them.


1 in 3 teens have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. Is my teen one of them? It's so hard to know what to do, when to push, or when to let them be.

What kind of parent would you be if you had no fears?

Every day thousands of parents are getting into fights and battles with their kids over video games, what they're watching, and how they spend their time. Our kids interests are the lightning rods that attract our biggest worries. Suddenly it's not just a harmless video game - it's proof that they're wasting their time and potential! Our worries lead us to exerting control, making rules, which then create resentment. Our fears get in the way of connected parenting - and our kids deserve a connected parent.


It would be ridiculous of me to claim that the Connect with Courage parenting course will take away all of your fears.

But what you get after 10 weeks of going through this course is the closest you're going to get.


Based on the book Connect with Courage: practical ways to release fear and find joy in the places your kids take you  join therapist and author Roya Dedeaux in this engaging and educational parenting masterclass.

  • What if I can't make it to all of the calls?

    Don't worry - the concept component will be recorded, so you'll still get access to the main idea of the day. You'll also be kept in the loop with emails throughout the week and your homework assignment. 

  • What is your refund policy?

    For full refund (minus $75 processing fee) cancel up to 2 weeks before course start date. 


    No refunds after that point.


    However - if you need to withdraw from the course before we have had 5 sessions, I am happy to put 1/2 of your payment amount towards the next cohort.


  • What age range is this program for?

    To be clear - the class itself is for the PARENTS. But it's for parents with kids of all ages. I've even heard that the concepts of this course have helped marriages and adult siblings!

  • How long do I get access to this program?

    You'll be able to download and save the concept videos and at-home exercises and worksheets - so you get to keep those forever! The group calls will end, but you'll then get access to an on-going alumni group if you want to participate! (You probably will - community connection is important!)

Any other questions?
