The Story Behind These Courses
Not just validating
There is a lot of conflicting parenting advice out there. Many parenting influencers on social media have promoted an approach called gentle parenting, which emphasizes heavy validation. While empathy plays an important role, this advice overlooks more than 40 years of research demonstrating that many kids also need additional proven parenting strategies to learn, grow, and develop resilience.Â
Many parents who came to me for help had already tried some of the strategies in my courses, but they were not seeing results. The problem was not the strategies themselves. It was the missing details. In my courses, I highlight the crucial nuances that make all the difference in a clear, step-by-step format. We do not need to reinvent parenting. We need to return to what has been proven to work and apply it correctly, with warmth and consistency.
Need for simplicity
As a working mom who raised two children who are now adults, I know how important it is for parents to have tools that are simple, time efficient, and effective. Just as important is using these tools with warmth and open communication. That is what you will find in these courses.
Cut Through The Noise
After years of teaching evidence-based parenting skills in therapy and groups, I saw how transformative the right guidance can be. I have curated the most effective, research-based parenting strategies that are often more successful for kids with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, inflexibility, or big feelings than typical parenting tactics.
I explain how to apply these time tested strategies to modern day challenges like screens and phones. I also address common concerns, such as how to use the skills in a way that teaches empathy and independence, so you can feel confident using them.
My Experience
Dr. Aviva Bass-Huh
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with children and families. I have worked with over 1000 families in both my private practice, and prior to that, at a community mental health center. I have delivered and designed numerous trainings for parents, teachers, and therapists, always with the goal of turning research findings into actionable steps. Those experiences taught me how to make learning engaging, practical, and easy to apply, which is exactly what I have built into these courses.
I received my Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver and completed an APA-approved internship at Hamilton Health Sciences Centre in Canada.
