Are You Tired of Arguing With Your Kids?

Practical Parenting Tips You Can Use Now!

Are you tired of …

• Saying the same thing over and over?

• Getting dragged into sibling hassles?

• Listening to a whiney voice?

• Using time outs that don’t work?

• Putting up with back talk?

Your kids aren’t listening to you, they’re bugging each other (and you!) and you have to remind them a hundred times to pick up their things!!! Frustrating, isn’t it? 

Of course, there are great joys to parenting, too, but right now, you’re feeling like you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work! Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or just plain stressed?! 

Go no further! If you’re the parent of a child who’s three to 12 years old, you can get the parenting help that you need (and deserve!) right here! 

As a mom myself, I understand that we parents are constantly facing new challenges. Just when we get one developmental phase figured out, WHAM! our kids are on to the next stage and we’re left wondering “What do I do now?  This worked yesterday, but now it’s not working at all!

One parent who called me said, “Gee. My youngest was such a sweet, compliant child until she started kindergarten.  Then, all of a sudden, my husband and I were hit with back-talk and defiance and we thought “Where did our sweet little girl go?”

Or another mom shared with me “People talk about the terrible twos, but I think three is much worse! My son started having up to 10 tantrums a day and I don’t know what to do!”

Or another mom admitted, “The homework hour is the worst hour of our day. My daughter HATES homework and I have to stay right by her for her to get anything done. When she has homework I have homework!”

	“Within one week of taking your Children’s Anger class, my 3-year-olds tantrums had been reduced. My husband said “WOW! What did you learn in that class?!” What I learned is ways that I can keep my cool and tools that I could teach my son that help him to calm down BEFORE the tantrum erupts.” Gina, Woodbury, MN

 

	“When I called Toni, I was at the end of my rope.  Toni gave me practical ideas I could use with my children immediately.  I felt Toni really listened to my concerns and together we came up with a plan that worked for my family.  My mornings are a lot less stressful thanks to Toni!!!”-  Trish, Hudson, WI.

 

	“I loved all parts of the ‘Are You Listening? 5 Great Ways to Connect With Your Child and Get Them to Comply’ CD. The evening chit chat times and the dinner time topics were especially helpful. I loved the specifics and the concrete examples.  I will be able to deal with my very defiant 3-year-old much better. Thank you!” Michele, MN.

Hi.  My name is Toni Schutta and I have 12 years experience helping parents find solutions that work. 

My job, in a nutshell, is to make your life easier, so you can experience more of the joys of parenting, rather than the frustrations. 

I'm a National Speaker, Author, Parent Coach and a Licensed Psychologist with a Master's Degree in Psychology.  My company, Families First Coaching, is devoted to providing parents with practical parenting help, easy-to-use parenting tips and helpful resources that will empower you as a parent and strengthen your family.

I LOVE parent coaching and let me tell you why. It is SO fulfilling to help parents find answers to problems they’ve been struggling with. 

As a parent coach, I work with parents who are feeling stuck or frustrated, like they’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work!  I empower parents, like you, by offering fresh ideas, guiding you to helpful resources and providing ongoing support until you’ve found the answers that best meet the needs of your family. 

I have a unique set of skills that sets me apart from other parent coaches. Having the good fortune of working with hundreds of children and families over the years as a psychologist and family therapist, I have a deep bank of ideas about what makes families strong. The methods I use are grounded in psychological principles, yet presented in a down-to-earth manner that makes them easy to use.  I offer practical parenting tips that you can use right away with your children and I meet parents all of the time who share good ideas with me that I can pass along to you.

Beyond coaching, I’m a national speaker, offering 11 workshop topics on parenting for  corporations, schools, churches and parenting groups. I also produced three parenting CDs so you can get the parenting help you need at your convenience.

I’m a certified graduate of the Mentor Coach Foundations Program and have a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the University of St. Thomas. I’m a Licensed Psychologist and a member of the International Coaching Federation.

On a personal level and most importantly, I’m the proud mother of two wonderful children, so I use these strategies myself, and understand the commitment it takes to make a family strong.
