Develop the confidence to stay connected to your kids even in the face of the most bizarre and baffling behaviors.

Stop playing behavior whack-a-mole with your child’s most baffling behaviors by finally addressing the real problem!  This 12-week course will teach you what behavior really is, and how to change it. Created by Robyn Gobbel and based on the USA Best Selling book by the same name, Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors: A Course for Parents make your child’s behavior make sense- even the ones that don’t.  You’ll become equipped with interventions, tools, and techniques- that actually work! And in this no-shame, no blame approach to parenting, you’ll finally understand why knowing is only half the battle. The course is strategically designed so you don’t just learn a bunch of parenting tools and techniques. By the end, you’ll actually be able to do the powerful techniques you’ll learn.

Together we'll explore

Behavior is just a clue.

It's what we see on the outside that gives us some information about what might be happening on the inside.

We all need connection to survive.

If your child is behaving in a way that makes us not want to be connected to them, we can pause and ask "What's up with that?"

Regulated, connected kids who feel safe behave well.

To change children's behaviors, we will look for ways to increase regulation, connection and felt-safety.


Based on the best seller, RAISING KIDS WITH BIG BAFFLING BEHAVIORS: Brain-Body-Sensory Strategies that Really Work.

You can experience what parents are describing as a life-changing new way to reframe - and change - their child's behaviors.

to stay connected to your kids even in the face of the most bizarre and baffling behaviors.

Section 1 - How to become the Expert in Your Child's Behaviors.

Section 2 - Now, Let's "Fix" Those Behaviors.

Section 3 - Why Knowing Isn't Even Half the Battle.

Who will this course benefit?

This course will benefit all parents but is especially offered for parents of kids with vulnerable nervous systems and baffling behaviors. This includes children with a history of trauma and toxic stress (including foster care and adoption), as well as children who are neurodivergent, gifted, have sensory processing differences, or neuroimmune disorders. You might not know why your child has a vulnerable nervous system, and that’s OK. This course is for you, too.

How do I know if this course IS right for me?

THIS COURSE IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF YOU ARE…
  • Ready to move past behavior intervention techniques
  • Longing to find a way to see your child’s true self even if they never show it to you
  • Willing to do the hard work of looking inward to move onward

How do I know if this course MIGHT NOT be a good fit?

THIS COURSE MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST FIT IF YOU ARE…

Hello, my name is Amy Tyler, and I am so grateful you are here. I have been married for 27 years and have a 24-year-old son. Boy, I wish I had had this parenting course way back when. I have learned a lot about myself as a parent through this journey.

When I was a school-based therapist, I knew there was a missing link with the students I served. In my heart, I knew changing the student’s behavior was not the answer, and working with the parents was part of the process. Once I heard about Robyn Gobbel and her book Raising Kids With Big Baffling Behaviors, I was hooked. It has revolutionized how I see the kids I work with now in my practice. Now, I can help their parents understand what is going on inside, outside, and in between.

To the parent who is exhausted and has tried all parenting tricks to get their children to behave, you are in the right place. I look forward to working with you to become a more regulated, connected parent. I will come alongside you with the resources you have been looking for.
