Kids are a lot more fun when they’re getting what they need.

The Brain Essentials of Raising Great Humans is a practical, brain-based parenting course for parents of children aged 2–10.

Kids are funny, kind, curious, and genuinely great company when their needs are met.

But when life gets busy, we overthink things, offer too many choices, or lose confidence in our leadership, kids don’t cope nearly as well.

That’s when parenting starts to feel frustrating — not because kids are “naughty”, and not because you’re doing it wrong.

But because children need clear, calm leadership more than we’ve been led to believe.

PARENTING IS WILD

Modern life is really busy!

Most parents are juggling work, family life, school, activities, messages, and a never-ending mental to-do list. We’re often doing five things at once, moving quickly from one moment to the next, and rushing more than we’d like.

So when we lose our cool at breakfast time, it’s usually not really about the lid being left off the jam jar again.

It’s about the fact that we’ve asked them to tidy up after themselves a gazillion times already.

It’s about feeling like no one is listening.
And it’s about starting the day already tired.

That doesn’t mean you’re a reactive parent.
It means you’re a busy one.

Many of the parents who find their way here are thoughtful, curious, and enjoy learning. They want parenting to feel calmer and more intentional — even on the messy, rushed days.

When you understand how children’s brains, emotions, behaviour, and biology work together, you stop reacting to the jam jar and start leading the moment.

Many of the most frustrating behaviours we experience from our children have a clear purpose. Once you understand what those behaviours mean, and what your child is really seeking, they’re far less annoying and much easier to respond to.

The Brain Essentials of Raising Great Humans was created to help parenting become simpler, steadier, and easier to navigate — even when life is full.

PARENTING FEELS HARDER WHEN WE'RE BUSY

Parents who use the Brain Essentials approach often say:

• “I don’t take behaviour personally anymore.”
• “I understand what they need now, so there are less meltdowns (from them and me)!”
• “I've stopped overthinking everything.”
• “Mornings feel calmer.”
• “They listen to me now!”
• “I enjoy my kids more.”

Not because their children suddenly changed...
but because they feel steadier and more sure of what they’re doing.

THE Brain Essentials OF RAISING GREAT HUMANS
 WILL help you slow things down


I’m a parent, a teacher of over 20 years, and the creator of Brain Essentials.

I’ve worked with thousands of children and families, and one thing has always been clear to me: behaviour makes sense when you understand what’s behind it.

My work blends neuroscience, real-life parenting, and practical tools that fit into busy family life, without shame, pressure, or perfection.

Parents don’t need more pressure.

They need understanding, clarity, and the confidence to lead their family.

Renee, mum of three (ages 3, 7, and 9)

Kate, Mum OF TWO (AGES 6 and 8)

"I see both of my kids differently now. Instead of banging my head against a brick wall and trying to get the kids to do what I want them to do, my way, I can now see them for who they are and meet them where they're at. There is much less resistance and defiance. "

The Brain Essentials Way is already helping parents feel calmer, more confident, and more connected with their kids. Here are some of the wins parents have shared with me.

WHAT OTHER PARENTS ARE SAYING

"When the books and resources arrived, I realised I had done something truly special for myself. They are absolutely stunning! Then there's the videos, everything is so digestible! You watch a quick video, then have something easy to try."

“My son had a meltdown after school last week and for the first time I knew exactly what to do. We went from chaos to calm in minutes. I felt so proud.”

JACKIE, Mum OF TWO (AGES 9 and 11)

TANIA, Mum of TWO ( AGES 2 & 4)

“I felt like I was always doing too much, but getting nowhere. This course showed me how to simplify, stay calm, and connect with each child ... without the guilt.”

“Before doing your course I thought of each of us as individuals, but the Week 2 and 3 content has taught me we are a team and we're all happier when we work together.

ERin, mum of two (ages 4 & 7)

AROHA, mum of three (ages 5, 8, and 10)
