Hello and welcome! 

I'm Alison Potter

As a parent education consultant, I am here to help you navigate difficult childhood behaviors and bring calm to the chaos.

Every day, I meet parents who are overwhelmed and seeking support, education, and guidance as they navigate the challenges of parenting and childhood. Witnessing their struggles and understanding their journeys has led me to create this business.

Using attachment theory as the foundation, I implement evidence-based methods to address your unique situation and needs, develop a plan of action, and help you implement parenting tools that produce positive outcomes and bring peace to your home. 

Why Work Together?

“Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad.” -Proverbs 29:17

I have a God-given passion for working with children and teens and their parents. As a child-developmentalist, my educational and career journeys have focused on work with children in various settings for over 20 years.

As a parent education consultant, I have helped parents start over the attachment process with their children and have witnessed significant improvement in the parent/child relationship and the development of children who are more resilient, confident, and emotionally regulated.
