Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors:

A 10-Week Course for Parents Who Are Tired of Guessing

  • This course is for parents who love their child deeply, but feel stuck, exhausted, or confused by behaviors that do not respond to typical parenting advice.

    If your child melts down, shuts down, argues, avoids, controls, refuses, explodes, or seems unreachable in hard moments, this course will help you understand what may be happening underneath the behavior and how to respond with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.

    You do not need to have all the answers. You just need to be open to a no-shame, no-blame approach that supports both your child’s nervous system and your own.

  • Tuesdays, 12pm - 1pm

Your child’s behavior can be big, confusing, intense, and completely exhausting.

One minute things are fine. The next, everything has fallen apart.

You try the script. You offer the choice. You stay calm-ish. You set the boundary. You take the deep breath. And still, somehow, you are back in the same loop:

Why is this happening?
Why does nothing work for long?
Why does my child seem so unreachable in these moments?
And why am I so worn out?

If parenting has started to feel like behavior whack-a-mole, this course is for you.

Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors is a 10-week course created by Robyn Gobbel and based on her USA Today bestselling book of the same name. It helps parents understand what behavior really is, what may be happening underneath the surface, and how to respond in ways that support real change.

This is a no-shame, no-blame approach to parenting kids whose behavior does not fit neatly into traditional parenting advice.

Because sometimes the problem is not that you need a better consequence.

Sometimes the behavior is a clue.

This Course Is Especially For Parents Of Kids Who…

  • Have big reactions that seem out of proportion

  • Melt down, shut down, argue, control, avoid, or explode

  • Struggle with transitions, flexibility, frustration, or sensory overload

  • Seem fine one moment and completely overwhelmed the next

  • Have a history of trauma, toxic stress, foster care, adoption, or early adversity

  • Have sensory processing differences or vulnerable nervous systems

  • Leave you thinking “I love my child so much, but I do not understand what’s happening here”

You do not need to know exactly why your child’s nervous system is vulnerable.

You may have a diagnosis. You may not. You may have been to every specialist in town. Or you may simply know that the usual parenting advice is not working for your child.

You are welcome here.

What Makes This Course Different

Most parenting advice focuses on how to stop behavior.

This course helps you understand what behavior is communicating.

Instead of asking, “How do I make this stop?” you will learn to ask:

“What is this behavior telling me about my child’s brain, body, stress response, and need for safety?”

That shift changes everything.

The course is built around three core ideas:

Behavior is a clue.
What we see on the outside gives us information about what may be happening inside.

Connection matters.
When a child’s behavior makes connection feel hard, we can learn to pause and wonder what is making connection feel unsafe, unavailable, or impossible in that moment.

Regulated, connected kids who feel safe behave better.
To change behavior, we look for ways to increase regulation, connection, and felt safety. Not because boundaries do not matter, but because kids need access to their thinking brain in order to use the skills we are asking of them.

What You’ll Learn:

How to Become the Expert in Your Child’s Behavior

You will learn how to understand your child’s behavior through a nervous system lens.

Behaviors that may have looked manipulative, dramatic, defiant, random, or impossible may begin to make more sense.

And once behavior makes sense, you can respond with more clarity and less panic.

What Actually Helps

You will learn brain, body, and sensory-based strategies that support your child’s nervous system and reduce baffling behaviors over time.

This is not about collecting more parenting tricks.

It is about learning what to do, when to do it, and why it works.

Why Knowing What To Do Is Not Enough

Most parents already know a lot.

You may know you are supposed to stay calm. You may know yelling will not help. You may know your child needs connection.

And then the moment happens, and your own nervous system has other plans.

This course helps you understand what gets in the way of using the tools you already know, so you can build more capacity to parent the way you want to parent, even in the hard moments.

This Course May Be Right For You If…

  • You are tired of jumping from one strategy to the next

  • You want to understand your child instead of constantly managing behavior

  • You suspect there is more going on underneath the surface

  • You want practical tools rooted in compassion, brain science, and real life

  • You are ready for a parenting approach that supports both your child and you

  • You want less shame, less guessing, and more connection in your home

This Course May Not Be The Best Fit If…

  • You are looking primarily for reward charts, consequences, or compliance-based strategies

  • You want a quick fix focused only on stopping behavior in the moment

  • You are not interested in exploring the underlying causes of difficult behavior

  • Your child is currently engaging in chronically dangerous behaviors, including serious violence, aggression, substance abuse, sexually acting out, or significant self-injury. In those situations, your family may need a higher level of individualized support.

The goal of this course is not to make you a perfect parent.

The goal is to help your child’s behavior make sense, so you can respond with more confidence, more steadiness, and more compassion.

Your child is not a problem to solve.

Their behavior is a clue.

And when you know how to read the clues, parenting can begin to feel less like crisis management and more like connection, support, and real change.
