Let me help you bring more calm, connection and cooperation to your family life.

But facing epic battles over bedtime, level 10 sibling squabbles and trips to the grocery store that end in tantrums over unpurchased lollipops can make even the most zen parent lose their sh*t.
If you find yourself giving in when you want to hold strong or resorting to foolish bribes and outlandish threats just to get some cooperation, I have good news

"My kid has fewer meltdowns, my partner and I are more on the same page, and I have more confidence in how I am parenting."

"My son's tantrums have decreased and I better understand his behavior. Carley really taught me how to avoid power struggles!"
Cara, PACE parent
"PACE brought my family back to life."
Chelsea, PACE parent
Here's the truth:
Parenting is a relationship, not just a skill.
Your child won’t cooperate if they don’t feel connected to you.
That’s why behavior charts, logic, threats and
traditional punishments don’t work.
BAD BEHAVIOR IS JUST
STRESS BEHAVIOR IN DISGUISE.
When we model calm and focus on our CONNECTION to our kid, we can help them build their coping skills and communicate their needs without losing their minds.
Find more peace in your heart and in your home.

Meet your teacher
Hi, I'm Carley.
I’m a clinical child & family play therapist, childhood mental health expert, mom of two and founder of Peaceful Parenting.
I’m here to reimagine what family life can look and feel like, especially for parents who have “big feeling” kids.
I know what you're going through because I've been there. When my first kid was born, he was easy. I actually thought to myself, “I am such a good mom. Look at how my kid listens to me, stays calm when things go wrong and does what he is told. I must be doing all the right things! Who says parenting is so hard!” Oh, how pride cometh before the fall.
Then my second kid came along. And she was fire. All the tricks, tools and parenting strategies I’d been relying on for years failed me. She was (is!) strong willed, big feeling and a fierce self-advocate. Try to imagine Rosie the Riveter and Beyonce having a baby – you’ve got my girl.
It's like living with a little lawyer....
Luckily, I had already been immersed in child development for over a decade by then so I knew her challenging behavior was her way of communicating her needs to me. And I could say yes to her feelings while saying no to her behaviors, which taught her how to ride the wave of her emotions without always being taken over by them.
But not every parent has advanced degrees in childhood mental health and years and years of experience. And all the parenting books, Dr. Google advice, and mommy FB groups don’t help when you’re facing the 17th tantrum of the day.
So I’ve made a commitment to teach parents how they can foster their child’s coping skills and resiliency by using mindful parenting practices and simple, effective play therapy interventions at home.
As Glinda the Good Witch reminds us, “You’ve always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.” With my guidance and support, you can find the power to move your family life from chaos to calm.
By the end of our time together you will...
✔ Feel calmer and more patient with EVERYONE in your home (including yourself!)
✔ Know exactly how to respond to your kid to get them to stop doing what you don't want and start doing what you do want.
✔ Understand how to help your child manage their emotions rather than fuel their feelings of overwhelm.
✔ Have a tool box of play-based techniques that are simple, effective and proven to foster your child's resiliency
✔ Experience more joy, peace and FUN with your family so you can actually relish time together rather than counting the minutes to bedtime.
"When I started PACE, I was in a dark spot and having a hard time laughing at anything having to do with parenthood. This course helped me be me again.

Never again feel like you don't know what you're doing when it comes to parenting. Discover exactly how to calm yourself, connect with your child and create a family life you love.
This is for you if:
✔ You've read parenting books, asked friends and family for help, even talked to your pediatrician but still feel lost when it comes to handling your own kid.
✔ You want to feel more relaxed in your own home - not on edge, anxious, overwhelmed and burnt out.
✔ You want to stop tip-toeing around your kids and start teaching them how to cope when things don't go their way.
✔ You think you might throw up if you have to start another sticker chart.
✔ You understand that in order for things to get better in your home, you need to change what you're doing before your kid changes what they're doing.
This is not for you if:
✗ You're expecting an outside expert to "fix" your kid.
✗ You're not willing to shift how you handle your own emotions and only want your kid to be different.
✗ You'd rather have a kid who feels controlled by you rather than connected with you.
