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.
Equip Yourself with a New Parenting Toolbox
- Struggling to get a handle on your child’s behavior no matter what you try?
- Are tantrums getting more frequent, longer, and harder to manage?
- Tired of yelling, losing your cool, and feeling guilty afterward?
- Ready to enjoy your time with your child instead of battling unwanted behavior?
- Want to feel confident and equipped as the expert on your child’s behavior?
When your child’s “light switch” is off, their brain actively blocks your efforts to reason, explain, or coach them back into a calm state.
Our free introductory video introduces parents to the first steps towards Behave Your Best’s proven de-escalation techniques.

Jamie Waldvogel is the founder of Behave Your Best and an experienced behavior analyst who has spent her career helping families feel more confident and connected.
She began by supporting parents of children with disabilities, guiding them to see their child’s strengths and find joy in their daily interactions.
When she became a mom, Jamie realized that most parents didn’t have access to the same strategies she relied on at home—strategies that prevent meltdowns and keep the “light switch” on.
Out of this experience, Behave Your Best was born: a way to equip parents with practical tools to reduce stress, respond calmly, and enjoy more of the moments that matter.
