Will your child come to you when life gets hard?

A yellow sign that says safe place on it

Helping you build trust and connection with your kids

Hi Reader,

Have you ever had that moment — where your child walks past you, quiet and withdrawn, and you wonder, “Would they come to me if something was really wrong?”

You’re not alone. Every parent has had that thought.

We all want to be our child’s safe place. The one they turn to when life feels hard or confusing. But sometimes, without meaning to, our reactions — the sighs, the impatience, the trying to fix everything — can make our kids pull away.

Here’s the good news: that safety can be rebuilt. Trust can grow again.

That’s exactly what we’ll do together in my 4-day parenting challenge,

COME TO ME FIRST –

Build the Trust Your Children Will Rely On for Life.

It’s just $27 to join — four short, powerful sessions where you’ll learn to:

  • Create emotional safety even when your child is upset
  • Reconnect after conflict without guilt
  • Become the parent they can trust with the hard stuff

We start November 17 — I’d love for you to be part of it.

Love, Carrien

PS. I am going to talk about this challenge a lot leading up to November 17.

Maybe this challenge isn't for you. But it might be exactly what someone else you know needs.

So please put this information out there, share the links, so that the parents who need me can find me.

I know that the moms, and dads, who need what I offer are out there. I just need to find them.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for reading. If you find this helpful, please share it with a friend.
