- You love your child more than anything in the world but you feel so overwhelmed with all the challenges of parenting a little kid that you loose your temper and react in ways you later regret
- You go from thinking “oh you’re so cute” to 5 minutes later screaming “what on Earth are you doing?”
- Your child’s meltdowns and strong will sometimes make you feel helpless and you don’t know what to do anymore
- It’s so hard to get your child to cooperate that sometimes you just give in to what they want or you end up promissing them something in return for cooperation or you give them a tablet just to have piece of mind
- Sometimes you force your child to do things they refuse to do or punish them for doing things they shouldn’t do, and then your heart brakes seeing them cry nonstop and you go to bed feeling like you’re failing
- You feel like sometimes it’s all too much and you wonder if you were made to be a parent.
You’re not failing… you just need a little help!
There’s this idea that we should simply know what to do as parents. As if, the day we became parents, we were struck by a magic lightening that taught us all there is to know about children and parenting.
Well let me ask you this: If you want to drive a car, don’t you first learn how? And if you need help with your car, don’t you go to the mechanic?
Somehow we are expected to just figure out how to raise children into healthy humans all alone, without loosing our minds in the process.
Well I can assure you that children are much more complex than cars and you already know first hand how much more demanding being a parent is than driving a car.

We will start by addressing your needs because you need to put on your oxygen mask first. We will then dive deep into the root of the behavior and you will be able to experience being in your child’s shoes, so you can understand how your child thinks and feels and why they act the way they do. We will then create together a Personalized Action Plan for the Week that takes into consideration both your needs and your child’s, as well as your family’s specific circunstances. Finally you will have the opportunity to role play one of the many strategies on your plan, so that you can practice implementing it and get immediate feedback on how to effectively apply those steps in your home with your child.

Hi, I’m Cristina,
an imperfect parent just like you….
I’m also the founder of Changing Parenting and a certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator specialized in Early Childhood. You can read more about me and my qualifications here,
I believe that all parents can become the parents they want to be with a little help. Because we all want to connect to our children, that’s what parenting is all about.
And these preschool years will go by so fast. Soon you won’t be your child’s favourite person and they won’t want to come to your lap for cuddles anymore. Let me help you enjoy parenting more and really cherish these precious years. Because I know that the days are really long, but the years are so short…
How I’ve Helped other Parents
100% found me HELPFUL
The biggest AHA moment for me was that our child doesn’t want us to have a button – that really stuck with me – and see it from their perspective.
I recommend these sessions to other parents because they’re so helpful!
Cristina is a wealth of knowledge and it helps so much!
I recommend these sessions to other parents because they are so insightful and we look at practical real issues with alternative practical easy solutions.
Cristina is awsome, energetic and real.
The biggest lesson for me was “Connection before Correction“.
I recommend these sessions to other parents because they are friendly and interactive and all very practical advice focusing on the parents need as well as the child needs.
It is very useful for parents to understand the issue to better prepare themselves for tough situations
The biggest takeway for me was “Don’t force child”.
My AHA moment was looking at the situation from a new perspective (the child thinking its an fun thing to do) and looking for alternative ideas to difuse the situation.
These sessions are helpful to get a reminder of what little people may be thinking. This gives a better perspective to deal with the situation as a parent.
One on one was great to a better idea and understanding of things.
I really appreciated that Cristina always had answers to our doubts and situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your child is younger than 3 or older than 6, I strongly recommend choosing the Coaching + Support package. In a 1-on-1 live coaching session (via Zoom), we can dive deeply into the unique dynamics of your family and the specific developmental stage of your child. This laser-focused session allows us to address your child’s individual needs and create a personalized plan adapted to your child’s age and your family’s specific circumstances.
In the 1 Week Support package, you’ll still receive the same 1-week Messenger (or email) support as in Intensive Coaching, and the solutions from the Self-Help Parenting Tool will still offer you some help. However, because the tool’s diagnostic questions and solutions are tailored to common behavioural challenges in ages 3 to 6, it might not fully address your child’s specific age and needs.
Our free community, the Parents of Preschoolers Facebook Group, is exclusively for parents of children aged 3 to 6.
In most cases, I recommend you book the Coaching Package because it offers much more in-depth support.
The 1-on-1 online session allows us to create a customized Action Plan that is really tailored to you and your family’s unique needs.
In this 60 minute session, you’ll also have the chance to ask me all your questions in real time and take part in role play that will allow you to understand your child’s behaviour better, as well as practice applying the tools you’ll learn with immediate feedback and guidance.
This option provides focused, dedicated support, helping you achieve results much more quickly and effectively with an action plan that is tailored specifically to your family’s circumstances and needs.
The 1 week messenger follow-up support is then the cherry on top of the cake because it helps you implement your personalized action plan in your day-to-day family life.
However, if you already did a coaching session and want to prolong your messenger support or if your schedule is tight and you don’t have time for a live coaching session, the 1 week support alone still offers valuable help. Instead of the 60 minute coaching session, you will be given an Action Plan for the Week in just a couple of minutes using the Self-Diagnose Tool. And afterwards you can ask me all your questions and I will help you per messenger for a week as you apply the new strategies in your home, so you can make the necessary adjustments to get things working for you and your family.
Think of the self-diagnosis tool like a guidebook, while the coaching session is like having a guide who walks with you through the process, answers your questions, and creates a personalized plan tailored to you and your family.
Whatever option you choose, every step you take is a step in becoming the parent you want to be and having the relationship with your child that you want to have, So whether you want to create faster, deeper changes with a coaching session and follow-up support or only have the possibility of doing the messenger support at this moment, I am here to help you transform your family life!
One of the biggest reasons parents struggle to create change in their homes is the lack of support turning what they know into what they do, i.e, implementing those changes in the actual day-to-day moments when they are dealing with their children’s behaviour.
That’s why the 1-week support is so important. For a whole week, you’ll be able to ask me all your questions, as often as you need, while you apply the new strategies with your child. And, as you share with me what’s working and what isn’t, I’ll help you make the necessary adjustments to meet the specific needs of you and your child.
Support is done preferably by Messenger and can be through either text or voice messages. Messenger offers a quicker, more conversational style, allowing for more immediate back-and-forth communication than email. This makes it easier to address your questions and provide timely feedback as situations arise, keeping the support more dynamic and responsive.
However, if for some reason you prefer not to use messenger, the 1 week support can also be by email instead.
You can contact me as often as you need and at any time of the day or night.
I’ll typically reply within a few minutes to a maximum of 24 hours, except for weekends, when I usually only reply the following Monday. Even if I haven’t yet replied to a previous question, feel free to keep asking—I’ll respond to each question as soon as possible.
The 1-week support will start immediately after payment in the “1 Week Support” Package and immediately after our Coaching session in the Coaching Package.
In order to be able to really dive deep, create a personalized action plan for you and your family and prepare you, so you feel confident in implementing it with your child, we will only be able to address 1 child and 1 specific behavior.
Yes! If you need to reschedule, you can use the reschedule link in your confirmation email to change your session.
Rescheduling is only possible before the scheduled session start time.
If you don’t attend your scheduled session within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time, the session will be forfeited with no possibility of rescheduling or refund.
After purchasing, you will be immediately redirected to the Self-Diagnose Parenting tool on the Website.
In the tool you will be asked to answer a few multiple answer questions about the biggest behaviour challenge that you are currently facing and in just a couple of minutes you will get the reults explaining why the behaviour is happening as well as your Action Plan to address it over the following Week.
You should print your Action Plan and keep it in sight throughout the week.
Together with the results you will also have a link to contact me per Messenger (or email) and further instructions to start your 1 Week Support.
For 1 week, you will have my help implementing your Action Plan in your home and answering all your questions (see more details above in “How does the 1 Week 1-on-1 Support work?”)
The 1 Week Support package is non refundable after purchase. You’ll be immediate redirected to the Self-Diagnose Tool that will give you your Action Plan and access to the messenger (or email) support.
You can cancel the Coaching Package and receive a full refund as long as you request the refund per email at info@changingparenting.com within 14 days after purchase and only prior to the scheduled Coaching Session time.
If you do not attend your scheduled coaching session at the scheduled start time or if you cancel your session in the Calendar without requesting a refund as mentioned above, you will also lose entitlement to a refund (and you will also not be able to reschedule).
You will get charged immediately after purchasing any of the coaching packages.
Your payment is processed through Stripe or Paypal, trusted payment providers, ensuring your payment is safe and protected.
