Science-Backed, Modern-Day, Best Practice Parenting Education & Support
"I believe parents are doing the best they can. When we struggle, it may be that we weren't taught the skills in the first place, don't know where to find the answers, or don't even know the answers exist. Some of us have especially spirited children, or perhaps children with mental, emotional, of behavioral struggles. Parenting has been researched for well over 60 years now and we know what works. There is, in fact, a parenting manual. I want all parents to have access to that manual and I want them to find their answers in whatever format they need." -- Naomi Halterman
"Let's normalize getting help with parenting. Bringing someone into the world and raising a HUMAN is literally the most important work you will ever do. And whereas we all have different talents, strengths, and skillsets... good, effective, connection-based teaching does NOT necessarily come naturally to all of us. ESPECIALLY amidst crying and screaming toddlers with constant mishaps, or ungrateful, argumentative teenagers, or even simply behavioral or mental health challenges that are not anyone's fault. It takes courage and humility to accept help with parenting, but it's something we could certainly all use. Even myself." --Naomi Halterman

From Parents Like You
“Naomi is very obviously an expert on the content of parenting. Not only is she a master teacher, but she taught me how to be a better teacher of my children. Her very positive approach takes into account my children's developmental level as well as their individual personalities. It helped me to learn how to teach skills in advance, rather than just reacting. Her content has made me a more purposeful, thoughtful, and present parent.”
Chelsea, mother of 4 (ages 3 months-9 years old)“Naomi changed our lives with the parenting skills she taught us. I was feeling so overwhelmed, stuck in power struggles and not understanding how to direct my kids in a way that would encourage and uplift them rather than tear them down. Learning to "Observe and Describe," to praise in appropriate ways, and plan for and teach useful skills to my kids helped me feel more calm and able to problem solve in a warm and loving way.”
Melanie, Mother of 4 (ages 2-13)“I have learned literally everything I know about parenting from Naomi. I've spent hours roleplaying with her to develop the skills I sought to parent my kids firmly but gently. I want my kids to like me, seek me out, and actually value what I have to say... and well, I'm a work in progress but I definitely could not have achieved that without her help. ”
Cody, father of 2“From the moment I met Naomi, I knew she was going to be the guidance I needed to improve my parenting style. Not just for my children but also for myself. She has never made me feel shamed or guilty for being overwhelmed at times with my children, but she did show me a better approach that has created such a positive impact on our lives! She has taught me to be more patient, understanding and observant towards my children and their behaviors. Whether it was teaching to a wrong or praising for a right; she showed me an effective way to be a leader and an advocate for my children. Because of Naomi and her skills of parenting, my children reflect what I've taught them towards others in their lives. It's something I hope they pass on for generations!”
Karma, mother of 3 (ages 1-8)
