What Families Are Up Against
What Doesn’t Work
➤ Charts, punishments, and tougher rules don’t work for sensitive kids.
➤ Do you feel like you've tried everything?.. Rewards, consequences, tough love, cuddles, firm limits, no limits, therapies, parenting books, etc. and nothing lasts?
You aren't imagining it and you aren't just "doing it wrong"
➤ Traditional discipline methods like charts, punishments, and tougher rules can actually make things worse for kids with nervous systems that run hot.
ADHD/ASD/ODD/DMDD, etc. - diagnoses don't tell the whole story.
Our kids need a different approach
At school they may hold it together, but at home one small trigger explodes into chaos. Parents yell, kids melt down, everyone feels worse.
a. Traditional discipline doesn’t work for sensitive kids. They may hold it together at school, but at home one small trigger can unravel everything.
b.Tough rules don’t work. At school they cope. At home, one small trigger = chaos.
How It Feels
➤ Parents feel judged, isolated, and like they’re failing. They are emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted but have no time to recharge because managing their child takes all of their energy and time outside.
➤ Parents feel:
- Judged by other parents or family members who don't get how hard this is.
- Emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted but have no time to recharge because managing your child takes all of your energy.
- Worried that your child won’t make it in the real world — and fear that you're failing them.
➤ Kids feel:
- Misunderstood and out of control.
- Kids may be able to hold it together at school or in activities, but at home one small trigger explodes into chaos, seemingly going 0-60 in seconds.
- The shame spiral starts and it's like everyone is walking on eggshells trying to avoid the inevitable meltdowns.
They worry their child won’t make it in the real world — and fear they’re letting them down.
➤ Parents feel alone and exhausted, giving everything just to keep up.
They fear their child won’t make it in the real world — and that they’re failing them.
➤ Parents feel judged, spent, and out of options — afraid their child won’t thrive and they’re somehow to blame.
What I Believe
➤ No child and no parent is broken. Repair is always possible.
➤ Behavior is communication 100% of the time... and we can learn to respond differently to create change.
➤ When we respond in a way that makes sense to our kids, progress happens.
➤ Every family deserves connection, support, regulation techniques and parenting strategies that actually work so that they can enjoy one another and find joy.
Every family deserves connection, and support and strategies so that they can enjoy one another again.
➤ No one is broken. Repair is always possible. Every family deserves support and the chance to reconnect.
➤ No one is broken. With the right support, every family can reconnect and thrive.
You’re not imagining how hard this is.
Your child isn’t bad, spoiled, or manipulative. They’re wired differently... and you deserve an approach that actually works!
Your child isn’t bad, spoiled, or manipulative. They’re wired differently...

Brett Welch
Brett Welch, LPC, Parent Coach
Hi, I’m Brett — licensed therapist, parent coach, former school counselor and mom of two awesome daughters with nervous systems that run hot. I’m also a highly sensitive, deep-feeling person myself. I understand both what it is to parent children with sensitive nervous systems and how to navigate supporting and educating them.
Personally, I have also been there - overwhelmed by advice that didn’t work with my kids, struggling because I was overwhelmed, overstimulated and stressed out. I knew my kids needed a different approach but I worried about how to prepare them for a world not built for their hearts. So, I started learning more, training more and diving into what effective support looks like for kids wired this way. It's been a journey but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat to give my girls the gift of this approach that honors their wiring and also prepares their nervous systems for a world beyond our home.
When you work with me you get me. There's no staff and no other consultants. If you receive an email, I wrote it. If you join a small group, I lead it and I follow up. This is one way that I'm different from the larger, less expensive parenting programs you see out there. I keep things small, personal and tailored to you and your kids because there is no one size fits all for my families. You're likely here because you are at your wits end and need something to change. I'm here to help you figure out how to do that and personally be with you every step of the way... because that's what I would have wanted too.

Testimonials
We have found so much value in our work with you. While we still are experiencing many moments of our kids being totally dysregulated, the meltdowns are less frequent, less intense, and the recovery is happening so much quicker.
I feel pretty confident in how I’m handling things about 85% of the time, which is a huge increase from before we started this work. Thanks for helping us understand our kids (and ourselves) a little better.
- Lisa and Matt P.
Before working with Brett, we struggled to understand, support, and advocate for our neurodivergent daughter.
Brett has helped us become a better parenting team while also connecting us with the educational resources and medical support our daughter needed to thrive.
- Courtney and Steven D.
We are so thankful for the patience and care Brett has shown our family! She always created a safe space and she left us feeling much better than when we started. We are so grateful for her!.
