Are you craving a new way to parent? Many of us find ourselves in the midst of a chaotic relationship with our children complete with yelling, melt-downs, power struggles, threats, and time-outs. Often there are two competing voices going on inside our heads. One says, “Oh, all families are like this. Children are simply difficult, but will eventually outgrow these crazy-making behaviors. Then we will all get along with our lives just fine.” The other voice says, “Surely there has got to be a better way. I just don’t know what it is!!!”

Karli is the real deal. I felt completely safe and supported in my coaching with her… Her coaching help me break through challenges in my parenting and also in other areas of my life. -Dannielle B.

This program is for parents who are committed to finding a better way. At Pivotal Parenting, Karli Silva recognizes that parents are people-makers! The way you parent your child, and the overall atmosphere or mood of your home, literally form the biological structures of your child’s brain; structures they will have for life. In this way, you have a profoundly powerful influence over your developing child. At Pivotal Parenting, Karli firmly believes it is a great honor to raise a child, and that conscious parenting leads to a peaceful home environment, as well as compassionate, confident, and intelligent children.

Conscious parenting is a process requiring awareness, time, and commitment. The first step in the Pivotal Parenting Program is an honest assessment of your current parenting reality. This assessment involves absolutely no blame or shame, just awareness. The next step is to gain clarity about where you want to be in your parenting. You have to know where you are and where you are headed in order to get from point A to point B. Here is where your time and commitment to transformation enter the picture. Over the course of our ten weeks together, we will look at your own childhood and parent relationships to see how this is impacting you now in your life and with your child. With awareness and coaching you will build new neural pathways in your brain to create the relationship you want to have with your child. In the next portion of the Pivotal Parenting program you will learn about your child’s brain development and parenting practices that support optimal brain development.

I highly recommend Karli as a parenting coach who walks her walks and talks her talk. -A. W., New Zealand

A key component to the Pivotal Parenting program is the knowledge that every challenging behavior is an attempt by the child to communicate that she has an unmet need. The parent and coach work together to understand what your child is communicating through their behavior, Karli will also give you tools to connect with your child in challenging moments and to set limits that honor your child’s needs as well as your values. In this way you will become your child’s emotional coach and greatest advocate. Emotional intelligence is the integrating force of the brain and the foundation for all other intellectual competencies. In other words, as you grow your child’s emotional competence you will grow the rest of your child naturally.

Armed with knowledge of your child’s brain development and a new set of tools to work through any and all behaviors, and having unpacked any remaining baggage from your past and how you were parented, you will be ready to step into a new kind of relationship with your child. A relationship based on authenticity, trust, respect and a deep loving connection. The greatest gift of the Pivotal Parenting Program is the new loving connection that emerges from your dedication and commitment to conscious parenting. And it is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only will your child thank you, but your grandchildren and your great grandchildren will too. Pivotal Parenting creates a ripple effect that starts with you and your family and then reaches out into the world touching the lives of many.
