Hi, I'm Andrea Robbins

I am a mom, stepmom, wife, former teacher, and certified parent coach. I help parents who are so frustrated with their children's challenging behavior that they're looking for effective tools and strategies anywhere they can find them. They have had no luck with traditional approaches and just want to find a way to have more (cooperation) peace in their family life. 

The work I do with parents helps them move from a yelling, guilt, and shame spiral to a calm, connected, and cooperative dynamic. (I promise it’s possible no matter where things are at now.)

I earned my Master's degree in Early Childhood from Bank Street College of Education in NYC. I’m a former teacher with 15 years of experience in the classroom and running various programs. As a teacher, I had the privilege of working with many children and their families, where I witnessed the profound impact that nurturing and supportive parenting can have on a child’s development.

My journey from working with children to their parents was driven by the desire to help parents navigate the joys (and especially the challenges) of raising happy, healthy, and confident children.

I believe traditional authoritarian parenting isn’t working

When we prioritize control (which is what we are culturally encouraged to do) instead of the loving, fun, beautiful experience most of us imagined, parenting becomes about dominance and obedience. No wonder so many parents are struggling!

You are not a bad parent! There is nothing wrong with your kids!

No matter where things are now you can build a new relationship with your child(ren) based on love, connection, and trust (instead of power, fear, and control). When you decide to do things differently and parent from a place that feels in line with your heart, soul, and values, you can finally have the peaceful, fun, cooperative home you've always wanted.
