Quick Consult: For When It’s Just This One Thing
You know that one behavior that keeps happening in the same situation and it's driving you up the wall?
Like your kid listens to Mom but suddenly forgets how to hear when Dad asks. Or every night turns into a showdown over brushing teeth.That’s exactly what Quick Consult is for.When you’re dealing with a behavior that’s stuck in one part of your day, or only happens with one person, you don’t need a bunch of sessions. You just need a clear, no-fluff plan to handle that problem.In 30 minutes, you’ll get:
✅ A straight-to-the-point plan that actually makes sense
✅ Simple steps you can start using as soon as we hang up
✅ A personalized summary, plus two quick follow-ups in case things need a tweak (because kids love to keep us on our toes)Quick Consult is perfect for stuff like:Refusing to brush teeth at nightOnly listening to one parentMeltdowns when leaving a favorite placeBattles over turning off the tabletRunning off in storesIf the behavior is staying in one lane, we’ll get it sorted.But if you’re seeing it pop up all over the place, in different routines or with everyone who dares ask them to do something... that’s a sign you’ll need more than a quick fix (don’t worry, that’s what my Solution Series is for).Let’s knock out the small stuff before it turns into a bigger headache.
