Are you feeling stressed, frustrated, or overwhelmed by your child’s behavior?

Have you read all the parenting books and tried all the strategies, but that didn’t work —

Or if it did, it either stopped working or it never worked very well?

As it turns out, today’s parenting wisdom doesn’t usually work with strong-willed kids!

I can show you how to teach your child to listen and cooperate.

I can show you the best way to help your child with their big feelings.

I can teach you and your child to solve problems together – which meets their need for control and gets their buy in to what the changes you’re wanting.

And best of all, the tools I show you can be used long-term, so you can stop that endless search for the next best parenting strategy!

What People Are Saying

As a licensed therapist who works with children and families, I have high praise for Rebecah Freeling.

Gina Mendicino, LMFTSan Francisco, CA

Rebecah Freeling understands what makes “spirited” children tick and how they are different from the “easy” kids.

Helen F. Neville, BS RN author of
Temperament Tools: Working With Your Child’s Inborn Traits

Rebecah has been life-saving for us…She really enjoys these challenging children and…gives you techniques to deal with every type of situation.

Andrea Durant, MD

We were literally at our wits’ end trying to parent a teen with ADHD and oppositional behaviors. Thankfully we found Rebecah Freeling and gave her program a shot. We couldn’t be more pleased with the progress after only a couple of months. Rebecah listens to your issues, dives in on the family circumstances, and provides practical, hands-on and simple advice to tackle the “tricky” and unwanted behaviors. The changes have been real and it’s put us in a place where we feel in control and more assured of how to respond (and whether to respond) when behaviors flare. Rebecah is terrific — always responsive to calls for help between sessions and each session ends with a short, practical list of steps to implement for next time. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Karen RRipon, CA

Rebecah Freeling is a MIRACLE WORKER! Our child has been “intense” since day one, and working with Rebecah has been life-changing. Applying what we have learned has completely changed our home life and our parental relationships with our intense child. Rebecah’s services are worth every penny. My only regret is that we didn’t hire her years ago!

Hella SBrooklyn, NY

My 9 year old daughter, with ADHD, refused to cooperate, do chores or listen to anything we said. My 4 year old was quickly following in her sister’s footsteps. Both kept having crying, screaming tantrums. Rebecah helped us with quick and easy parenting behaviors designed to improve our relationship with the girls and help us be better parents. Rebecah’s techniques have made a huge difference in our lives. (We’ve asked Rebecah to extend our coaching package as her help has been invaluable during these challenging times.)

Nikhila P San Francisco, CA

Rebecah really helped turn things around for our son, who started exhibiting tons of strong-willed kid challenges (like hitting at home and preschool), along with exasperating fixations on routines and lots of meltdowns. After just a few sessions with Rebecah, our kid started to markedly change, and those behaviors have now almost entirely disappeared. Rebecah gave us so many specific ideas and strategies to weave into the day to day and they REALLY worked. She is amazing at adapting what she knows to your kid and your family. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Maggie PSan Francisco, CA

Our family benefited so much from our sessions with Rebecah. She listened carefully to every challenge we were facing, and provided practical advice to address difficult behaviors. Even more importantly, she helped us understand our child’s mindset and she taught us how to involve our child in the creation of rules, so we can collaborate rather than engage in constant power struggles. We didn’t anticipate such immediate results — and we also weren’t expecting that the sessions would do so much to help us get on the same page as parents!
