Raising Kids With Big, Baffling Behaviors: A Course for Parents (FALL 2025)
✨ 10 weeks of small group support + private parent coaching ✨
Tuesdays, October 7-December 9
4:30PM-6:15PM Pacific on Zoom
1hr 45min weekly, for the Fall Semester of the school
It takes lots of kids 6-8 weeks into a new school year before they have a sense of the rhythm and predictability of their day—and highly sensitive kids or those with regulation challenges may need the whole first semester to find a groove.
Why does this series focus on high sensitivity and BIG behaviors?
Because parenting with attention to regulation, connection, anxiety, and easing stuck spots is a different approach than traditional parenting strategies. I do my best work with families who are ready to go beyond reward and consequences—with real curiosity about what will actually help shift pushback, defiance, and flares of aggression.
We’ll cover practical tools for navigating the gap between how kids are showing up at school and behaviors you’re seeing at home. Whether that means supporting anxious kids or easing intensity around sibling conflict and daily upsets (PS: these are often related to both anxiety AND high sensitivity!).
I regularly hear from families navigating challenging dynamics in everyday tasks…
- irritability and sensitivity to feedback that make communication difficult
- transitions that end in meltdowns…or deep resistance before they can even begin
- automatic “No” responses…even to things your kid will likely/has recently LOVED!
- trouble settling for sleep, night wetting, or a string of worries during the day
- defiance or aggressive reactions to reasonable requests
These are all common in kids with high-revving energy and novelty-seeking behaviors. And these traits often coincide with intensified tantrums or rigid demands, trouble regulating emotions, and difficulty following directions.
I'll teach about the brain science of behavior, share practical tools that help shift out of conflict and overwhelm, tips for advocacy at school, and TONS of support for you.
This is not a therapy or process group; instead, we’ll focus on nervous system education, child development, understanding neurodiversity, decoding BIG behaviors, and knowing what tools to use when.
We will not be approaching parenting from a perspective of diagnosis or assessment, though this series offers a wonderful supplement to work you may be doing with other professionals (occupational therapy, psychotherapy, or tutoring).
Many families who’ve completed this course have expressed how helpful it’s been in navigating power struggles, sensory issues, learning challenges, understanding traits of neurodivergence, demand avoidance, and medical or special needs; many of these real-life dynamics are not reflected in traditional parenting books/philosophies and not adequately addressed in most school settings.
This course was created by Robyn Gobbel, host of The Baffling Behavior Show. I will joyfully tailor the content and examples to families attending. Your questions are welcome every time we meet.

November 4, 11, 18, 25

Because this is an interactive and connection-focused series, it’s important to me to teach it LIVE, so I can offer small group discussions, on-the-spot coaching, and breakout rooms, as needed. For these reasons, our sessions won’t be recorded.
Please consider another workshop series, if you know you’ll miss more than two sessions, as each week’s content builds on the prior session. If you need to miss a session, I will ALWAYS provide resources connected to our theme, so you’re right there with us.
Email me here or grab a spot on my calendar to chat about whether this group is a good fit for your family. I’ll be honest if it’s not and point you to other resources.
TWO partial scholarships, available by request.
Please review Terms + Conditions and Commitment to Anti-Racism before purchase.
** Please Note: A 1-hour private consultation session is included in your class registration. You’ll get a link to schedule that after you register. You’re welcome to Add-On a ⭐️ Bonus 1-hour Consultation ⭐️ at a significant discount at check-out; this is totally optional. **
Cancellations :: Full refunds available 14 or more days before the first session. Cancellation with 7 days’ notice receive a refund minus $75. With less than 7-days’ notice, no refund is offered. You’re welcome to ask about transferring your seat to another participant or applying fees to a future workshop.
