Parenting Help That Actually Works
(Even When You're Exhausted)
End tantrums. Reduce power struggles. Rebuild trust with your child—without yelling, threats, or guilt.
You're not a bad parent. You just need a better evening.
Simple, practical guides to help you stop dreading bedtime — and
actually enjoy your kids again.
You know that moment.
Your toddler is screaming because you cut the toast wrong. You've already asked them three times to put their shoes on. Dinner is cold. You're late. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a voice
is whispering: Am I doing this wrong?
You're not.
That meltdown isn't a sign that you've failed — it's a sign that your child's brain is doing exactly what it's supposed to do at this age. They're overwhelmed by feelings they don't yet have the wiring to manage.
The problem isn't your child. And it isn't you. It's that nobody showed you what's actually happening inside their head — and what to do about it in the moment, when it matters.
That's what I made these guides for.
Hi, I'm Sophie.
Parent. Coach. And Fellow Traveler on This Messy, Beautiful Journey.
I'm a parent and author — not a guru, not someone with all the
answers. Just someone who spent years reading the research, testing what works, talking to other parents, and figuring out which strategies actually hold up at 6 PM on a Tuesday when everyone's tired and hungry.
I write short, practical guides that give you something specific to
try — not another 300-page book that makes you feel like you need a psychology degree to raise your own kid.
Everything I create follows one rule: if it doesn't help you tonight
or tomorrow morning, it's not ready.
Three ways to make this week calmer than last week.
Taming Toddler: A Parent's Guide to Understanding and Managing Toddler Emotions
This is the guide I wish someone had handed me the first time my toddler threw themselves on the floor in the cereal aisle.
In 28 illustrated pages, you'll learn why tantrums happen (it's brain science, not bad behaviour), what actually triggers them (fatigue, hunger, overstimulation, transitions, the need for control — and more), and exactly what to do before, during, and after a meltdown.
Includes a feelings chart, calm-down box ideas, breathing exercises for little kids, and a tantrum diary template so you can start spotting your child's patterns within a week.
This isn't a list of tips — it's a framework. You'll understand the why behind the behaviour, so you're not just memorising scripts. You'll know what to do even in situations the guide doesn't specifically cover.
The Evening Reset: One Small Daily Shift for Calmer Evenings
Seven days. One small change each day. By the end of the week, your evenings look different — not perfect, but noticeably calmer.
Day 1 starts with you, not your child — because the fastest way to change the energy in a room is to change your own nervous system first. From there, each day gives you one thing to change, one thing to say, and one thing to stop doing.
This is the guide parents tell me made the biggest difference. It's specific enough to use tonight and structured enough to build real habits over a week.
- Day 1: Regulate your own nervous system first
- Day 2: Lower the expectations that set everyone up to fail
- Day 3: Build predictable transitions (the #1 tantrum prevention tool)
- Day 4: Presence over words — what to do when talking makes it worse
- Day 5: Support the body first (why tired, hungry kids can't "behave")
- Day 6: Hold boundaries with a soft tone
- Day 7: Reconnect after the hard moments
Includes daily reminder cards designed to be screenshotted and kept on your phone.
From Chaos to Calm: The Complete Parenting Reset Method
If the guides above solve the immediate fire, this program rebuilds the house.
From Chaos to Calm is a 13-module course that goes beyond managing meltdowns — it changes how your household runs, day to day. You'll work through everything from building emotional safety and real connection to handling mornings, bedtimes, screen time, sibling rivalry, and what to do when you're the one who loses it.
It includes the companion ebook — a 32-page guide covering how to create a home environment built around how children actually develop, how to foster real independence at every age, and how to communicate in ways that strengthen your connection instead of wearing it down. It's the bigger picture behind the practical course modules.
This isn't a weekend project. It's a system you build over weeks — one module at a time — that changes things long-term.

WHAT THIS ISN'T
What you won't find here.
No countdown timers. No "only 3 copies left." No one trying to
convince you that you're broken and only this product can fix you.
Parenting is hard enough without being marketed to like you're a
problem to be solved.
Everything here is designed to be genuinely useful — something you can pick up, try tonight, and feel a difference by the end of the
week. If it doesn't help, you'll know within a few days. And if it
does, you'll want to keep going.
That's the only sales strategy here.
Not sure where to start? This one's free.
Grab Sophie's In-the-Moment Guide — a quick reference for what to do (and what to stop doing) when your toddler is mid-meltdown. It's the page you'll want on your phone when things go sideways.
Tonight can be different.
You don't need to overhaul your entire parenting approach. You need
one small shift that makes this evening a little easier than
yesterday.
