Real support for the whole beautiful mess and magic of parenthood.

You're not doing it wrong. You're just missing the right support.

Whether you're postpartum and holding more than you expected, navigating a toddler who has turned toileting into a daily battle, raising a child whose brain works differently than the books describe, or just deep in a season of parenting that has you questioning everything — you found the right place.

I'm Amanda Hyer, founder of Kitchen Sink Parenting. I go beyond problem solving to help families understand what is actually happening — neurologically and developmentally — to their children, to themselves, and to the relationships they are building in real time. My own family has deepened my practice in ways no degree ever could.

Nothing is too small. No situation is too messy. The mess and the magic are the same thing.

Who is this for?

You might be in exactly the right place if...

You're postpartum and holding so much more than you expected, and you need someone in your corner.

You have a toddler who is making toileting feel impossible, and you're starting to wonder if it's just your family. (It isn't.)

Your child is neurodivergent, and the advice everyone gives you simply doesn't fit, because it wasn't designed for your child.

You've tried the charts, the rewards, the tips from the internet, and nothing has stuck.

You want someone who will meet you where you actually are, not where you're supposed to be by now.

You're not looking for perfection. You're looking for a path forward.

Come walk with us

Every Tuesday and Wednesday morning at Berkeley Lake Park in Denver, I host a small, stroller-friendly community walk for families with little ones.

Any caregiver. Any question. Any topic. A whole kitchen sink of parenting support, outdoors, capped at 8 families, so every walk stays warm and personal.

Postpartum recovery. Sleep. Toileting. Behavior. New siblings. Strong-willed kids. Neurodivergence. Tantrums. All of it welcome. None of it judged.

Come for the walk. Leave with something you can actually use.

$25 per family. First walk in September is just $5 with code FIRSTWALK.

Stuck on Toileting?

Here's something most people won't tell you: toileting struggles are one of the most stressful, least talked about challenges of early parenthood. Most families aren't stuck because they aren't trying hard enough. They're stuck because they haven't had the right support yet.

Imagine being completely absorbed in the most important work of your life and someone keeps interrupting, redirecting, or telling you you're doing it wrong. That's what toileting can feel like for a child. And for a parent, it can feel just as defeating.

The Toilet Independence Intensive™ is my signature offer. A shame-free, developmentally grounded process that looks at your whole child, your whole family, and your real life, and builds something that actually works.

We look at what's really going on. We build a plan that fits. And I stay with you through the process so you're not figuring it out alone.
