Our experienced consultants are here to support you—the most important person in your child’s life.
Through virtual or in-person coaching, we’ll help you better understand what’s driving your child’s behavior and teach you practical, research-backed strategies to respond with calm and confidence, even in the tough moments.
Parenting Struggles? You're Not Alone.

Handle Your Child’s Meltdowns with Confidence & Care
“How To De-Escalate Your Escalated Child” is a bite-sized program designed for parents that have tried everything but have yet to find a strategy that actually works.
Parent Coaching at Behave Your Best
When you work with the parenting experts at Behave Your Best, you’ll start seeing positive changes in your child’s behavior and feel greater confidence as a parent. You’ll gain a lasting toolbox of strategies that go far beyond today’s challenges and create more calm, connected moments with your child along the way.
Our program is for both the parent who’s wondering, “Is it really that bad?” and for the parent who feels like they’ve tried everything, but nothing sticks.
We’ve got good news.
You don’t have to wait until your child’s behavior disrupts your routines, social life, or education to get the support you need. Our team helps you go beyond quick fixes and parenting trends.
“Why didn’t I call sooner?”
– The most common feedback we’ve received from hundreds of families we’ve served since 2011
You’ll learn how to de-escalate tough moments and how to teach your child the skills they need to prevent those behaviors in the first place. Whether your child resists transitions, melts down when told no, or argues every request, we’re here to help you teach them how to cope, shift gears with ease, and listen the first time.
How Our Program Works
Purchase an introductory consultation for $250 (effective January 1, 2026). You’ll receive a link to our calendar so you can choose a time that works for you and your partner. Your introductory consultation is conducted using video conferencing, and lasts up to 60 minutes.
Complete our short online questionnaire before your consultation. Watch our FREE video, “Fight, Flight, Freeze No More! Pretend You Are A Light Switch!®” before your consultation so you have an understanding of our approach to resolving unwanted patterns of behavior.
What to expect during your consultation: Our consultant will ask questions to ensure an understanding of your needs and goals. You can expect at least one evidence-based recommendation during your consultation. If you consent, you’ll receive a recording of your consult. Our digital program, “How To De-Escalate Your Escalated Child” is also available at a reduced rate of $49 with the purchase of an introductory consultation (value of $79).
Most families require an additional 1-6 hours of support after the introductory consultation to achieve their goals. Our fee is $200 per hour (fees may vary depending on payment method). We require pre-payment for each hour of service for private pay clients and track the minutes spent providing phone, text message, virtual, and/or in-person coaching. When you run out of prepaid minutes, we recommend additional hours of support as data indicates. If you contribute to an HSA or FSA account through your employer, our services are likely reimbursed. Check with your provider to confirm coverage. We do not accept health insurance. Behave Your Best serves clients with county funds for behavioral services. We work with each client individually to coordinate payment of services from a fiscal service provider.
If you learn best from watching an expert demonstrate what to do, we offer in-home coaching in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN and Pinellas County, FL areas. There is a $75 travel fee per visit for in-home consultations.
What Our Families Have To Say:
“We love Behave Your Best, the tools are simple to use and practical for all kinds of situations and kid issues. We are enjoying our sweet toddler and so happy we worked with this team early before we were unknowingly reinforcing bad behavior. We have what we need to increase desired behaviors from the start. Our now 2.5 year old says, please and thank you without being prompted, waits nicely, even puts himself to bed sometimes. Thank you for bringing so much extra joy into our lives.”

Turn Tough Moments into Breakthroughs:
Pretend You Are A Light Switch!®
When big feelings take over, it’s hard to know what to do next.
If your child is yelling, melting down, refusing, or acting out—and nothing you’ve tried seems to help—you’re not alone. It’s overwhelming and heartbreaking to feel stuck in a cycle of tantrums, power struggles, or aggression.
But what if you could respond with calm and connection—all while teaching your child how to regulate their emotions?
In our free introductory video, Pretend You Are a Light Switch!®, we break down the science of your child’s brain development and how it directly impacts their behavior. You’ll learn what’s happening beneath the surface.
With the right tools, you can turn tough moments into meaningful progress.
When you understand what’s happening in your child’s brain during stress or overwhelm, you’re better equipped to respond with calm, empathy, and confidence.
Knowing what drives their behavior helps you respond with confidence, even in the hardest of moments.
