It’s exhausting to parent a child that does not listen to you.

Your brilliant negotiator makes you second guess yourself with their creative loopholes, relentless arguments and constant pushback.

They wear you down with their persistence.

  • You feel guilty enforcing consequences that might not be reasonable so you second-guess yourself.

  • It’s impossible to be consistent when you are drained, anxious or tapped out. You avoid following through because you know the drama that comes with conflict. You find yourself walking on eggshells in your own home.

  • You’re weary from the battles and want peace in your home, but your child resists the structure you long for.

Setting limits with your Spicy One™ doesn’t have to escalate to a battle of wills!

Ready to create a plan for setting and following through on important house rules?

With practice (and lots of love), I know you can set limits that actually work. 

Let me show you how.

Hi, I’m Mary Van Geffen, and I’m a mom just like you.

Parenting my children did not come naturally to me. I had no idea what it looked like to stay tender in the midst of defiance and unexplainable explosive emotions. In the early years, there was a lot of yelling, disrespect and anger… from both of us.

Then, when my Spicy One™ turned 5, I started a life-changing spiritual journey to see the goodness of my child. I was determined to stay calm, kind and firm no matter what they were doing! This deep work into my own childhood and non-violent communication techniques allowed me to make space for the exceptional young adults my children have become.

My great joy is to now serve families struggling like mine once did and support them in their own healing journeys. I’ve coached hundreds of moms across the globe to transform the relationship they have with their larger-than-life kids.

“I would recommend this class to any (and every) parent I know. It was so packed full of info that I didn’t even get to process it all. Am I allowed to watch it again? I attended live but I feel like I need a recap before starting my new parent new life this coming week haha”

Imagine…

>> Setting warm grace-filled limits and letting the less important stuff slide.  

>> Your child feeling safe and seen by you even as they grieve family rules that matter enough to follow-through on.

>> Your home being a peaceful refuge from the world where everyone learns to balance flexibility with healthy conflict.

“This class is practical. It’s helpful and fills in a missing link that many gentle/respectful parenting resources leave out—in my opinion—how to have effective boundaries. I knew what I didn’t want to do but I felt very under-equipped to actually do something effective in return.”

—Ryan H.
