Success Stories
“Amanda has helped our family connect at such a deep level. She started by teaching my seven-month-old to drink from a cup, and I was hooked. I have relied on Amanda for years… usually about once a month, sometimes twice a week! Each time we meet she has a great activity for my child and me to do together, then she helps me out of the vortex of self-doubt and guilt I have put myself in about whatever weird/annoying thing my kid is doing: throwing food on the floor constantly; screaming at the top of her lungs whenever she has something to say; tantrums that make zero sense; ways to start cooking together; what to do when I was about to have a second kid-she has a strategy for all of it! I am so grateful I found Amanda, I wish every parent had an Amanda they could call!” -Diana-mom of two girls
“Amanda taught me to listen and understand my child in a whole new way.”
“I learned that how I was asking questions was inviting the response I was receiving. Which, of course, seems obvious now. But realizing I was inviting the ‘NO!’ was illuminating!” -Parent in Lima, Peru
