The belief that you must be doing something wrong.
The shame and embarrassment about what others might be thinking.

I so get it!

I, too, was the mom of “that boy.” And it was hard in a way that only we get.
The calls home from school. The dread of social gatherings. The whispers of other parents as we approach.

Maybe you can relate?

Feeling like you’re on constant damage control?
Worried about your boy’s anger, his upsets, his future?

Exhausted from trying to fix him and from struggling to keep your cool (when he’s lost his)?
I’m guessing you’re not sleeping long enough or well enough and that you’re feeling overwhelmed and like you’ve tried everything.

I’d also bet that you’re not having much fun at all parenting that boy of yours, and that any and all passions that fuel your soul and make you feel alive seem a dull flicker from a past life.

Like you, I understood that my boy’s behaviors were a problem. But I also recognized that there was a sweet boy underneath those challenging behaviors, and I was determined to dig him out!

I was also well aware that my boy being labeled as “the bully,” “the troublemaker,” “the class clown,” or worse at such a young age could have tragic effects on his self-esteem, his social life, his academic success, and his ability to live that big, meaningful life I so wanted for him.
