Parenting Isn’t Supposed to Feel This Hard.
You love your child—but between the tantrums, the defiance, and the constant self-doubt, you feel like you’re doing it all wrong.
You’re not alone. And you’re not failing.
You just need tools that work for your real life—not someone else’s.
Hi, I’m Dr. Christine Clayman.
Parenting Coach. Educator. Mom of Two. Advocate for You.
I’ve raised two boys—one with special needs. I’ve sat on the floor in tears after a meltdown. I’ve yelled when I didn’t mean to. I’ve wondered if I was doing enough—or doing it wrong.
The Parent
Even with a doctorate in education and a background in classroom management, I found myself overwhelmed by my own child’s behavior. And I realized… this isn’t about what you know. It’s about how you connect.
The Professional
With 24+ years in education—as a teacher, administrator, and national trainer—I’ve supported hundreds of parents and educators across the U.S.
I hold a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Conflict Resolution and I specialize in emotional intelligence, classroom dynamics, and positive behavior support. But most importantly? I listen. I personalize. I walk beside you, not ahead of you.
What Guides Everything We Do
Connection Before Correction
Kids listen better when they feel seen, safe, and understood.
Behavior Is Communication
Your child isn’t broken. Their behavior is a message. We help you decode it.
No Shame. No Guilt. No Scripts.
This isn’t about being the perfect parent. It’s about parenting with presence and purpose.

No fluff, no theory overload—just proven strategies that actually help.
