Your child is struggling. You want to be able to fix it, but after months, you are at your wit's end. The embarrassing tantrums are out of hand. You’ve gotten calls from their school. It's clear to you that they are acting out because they are anxious, have trouble with social connections, or aren't getting enough sleep. You’ve tried countless things and different approaches but still see no progress. No book or podcast can tell you how to coach them through their troubles. Watching your child struggle breaks your heart because you don’t know how to provide them with relief. You feel hopeless.
