Tired of power struggles with your child?
Power struggles sure make for tough days, don’t they? And if there’s one thing about parenting you can’t do, it’s to give up. This isn’t a diet or a hobby or a job you can just quit when it gets hard.
But instead of getting angry or telling your child to “just stop it already,” you can unearth some pretty valuable lessons. You can both learn how to better communicate with one another and develop stronger listening skills and empathy. Your child can also expand his own toolkit on how to better respond when he’s upset.
That’s why typical parenting techniques—spanking, time outs, counting to three—don’t always work. They don’t allow you or your child to grow or learn anything from the experience, and they aren’t loving or sustainable ways to raise your child. Instead, they actually fuel the power struggles you’re trying to stop.
What if, instead, you see your role as being on the same side as your child?
Now, this isn’t to say you’re trying to be his “friend.” You maintain authority, guidance, and knowledge as their parent. But you also help him manage his behavior and deepen your relationship. It’s a win-win: he learns to behave and manage his emotions, all while knowing you love him—no matter what.
The goal isn’t to suppress tantrums or to coerce your kids to obey. Tantrums, meltdowns, and bad days will happen—even to us as adults. Instead, the goal is to equip them (and us) with the coping methods to know what to do the next time it happens.
And it starts now—in childhood. This is, after all, the “practice” stage where the stakes aren’t too high to learn these lessons. The power struggles you’re going through now, no matter how hard, can be the perfect teaching moments.
When you join Same Side Discipline, you’ll learn the techniques that will help YOU turn power struggles into teachable moments.
You’ll redefine your role as a parent and learn how you and your child can foster respect for one another. You’ll discover ways to talk to him to avoid needless conflict in the first place. You’ll find proven reasons why focusing on his character will help him behave well, and so much more!
“Going through the course has helped me strengthen the relationship I have with my three-year-old twin boys and decrease stress in the household. The ramp ups aren’t as extreme, and I don’t feel as anxious about how to handle the situation. I’ve been able to de-escalate hitting and toy throwing instead of getting into a power struggle. Thank you!”
-JACKIE SAINT-JOHNSON
Stop feeling drained in parenthood
What if, in just a few weeks from now, you were able to decrease the power struggles between you and your child, and instead deepen the relationship you have? How would life be different when you start noticing a difference in her behavior?
Hi, I’m Nina Garcia, author and blogger behind the parenting site, Sleeping Should Be Easy. You might already know I’ve helped countless parents through my website, newsletters, books, and resources I offer. I know what it takes to get you from feeling drained to being the kind of parent you want to be.
I know just how challenging it can be to handle your child’s behavior and feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. When it seems like you’re just waiting for bedtime to happen already so you can end the day, exhausted from the power struggles.
In fact, I felt like I couldn’t relate with those around me, assuming no one else could’ve had the same kinds of struggles I did. I’m normally a calm person—to see me lose my patience did not feel good to me or my kids.
The anger almost felt like a charge ready to erupt, no matter how much I tried to contain it. I dreaded the parts of the day that would trigger yet another power struggle. I guiltily stopped looking forward to spending time with my kids, and instead preferred the time away from them.
So you can imagine why I had to look for parenting techniques that would turn things around. Where I could begin to enjoy parenthood again, learn how to discipline, and focus on connecting with my kids.
And it worked. Having the right tips and advice was like having a voice nudging me toward patience, and improved the way my kids behaved.
When you can parent from a calm and connected place, you can guide your child and use the challenges as teachable moments instead. While parenting is a never-ending lesson (aka you’ll still lose your cool in the future), you’ll feel more confident to be the mom your child needs you to be.
You see, these are real challenges that don’t often get addressed, or don’t seem as important. Same Side Discipline is here to change that.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never read a parenting book in your life, or if you’re a seasoned mom who knows she can always improve—this course can help.
You’ll learn the most effective parenting techniques that work. It really IS possible to calm the waters in your home, and Same Side Discipline will help you do just that.
“With these same side techniques, you made me realize how I should look at myself, which changed my parenting and has been a great help! Thank you!”
-CHRISTINE BAUHN

“I was not being the parent I wanted to be. I was shouting, not being very patient, struggling with finding a way to cope with my eldest’s resentment of her younger sibling. I was completely losing my connection with my eldest. I was also getting very frustrated with my youngest and lacked a toolbox to help him grow and be independent as well as listen to instructions. Both of my children are strong willed and I knew I had to find another approach to parenting that I was used to and grew up with.
After applying the lessons from Same Side Discipline, I’m starting to feel more like a a parent/human being than an emotional wreck. I can see my eldest is coming back to me, responding better to the way I talk to her and having fewer hysterical breakdowns. With my youngest, I have definitely reduced the number of tantrums and made a lot of our routines much easier and less stressful. What you deliver in this course just makes sense! :)”
-STEPHANIE PEDERSEN
“I was looking for a change in the way I was parenting my kids, but I didn’t know where to start. Your realistic and practical advice helped a lot as it changed my perspective. You have helped me understand my kids better, especially when they cry. I now have extra patience and empathy for them and feel so much more connected. My toddler is amazing us every day—she is understanding me better, sleeping on her own, not throwing tantrums, the list goes on. I wanted to take the time to share this with you and thank you!”

“Before Same Side Discipline, I struggled with getting my kids to follow instructions and losing my temper.

The class gave a lot of specific tips, all very doable and intuitive. I learned a lot of strategies on how to respond to my kids. Same Side Discipline has helped me yell less and be calm, which helps my kids’ behavior as well.”
