You're walking a very fine line, Mom:

​

  • Supporting your child without losing yourself

  • Balancing compassion and clear boundaries

  • Holding acceptance alongside skill-building

  • Protecting your child while preparing them for the real world

  • Offering structure without crushing flexibility

  • Being okay with “different” while teaching social skills

  • Accepting what is while still needing things to change

I see you—exhausted, second-guessing, tiptoeing around the next meltdown.

This summit was created for you.

This summit was EXACTLY what I needed. I felt like I was doing something wrong as a mother. Nothing was working...Now I feel like I have a clue what is going on for the child and what to do about it!

The validation and insights made me laugh and cry. I have taken so so many courses, summits and even 1:1 coaching. This was the best by far! I thought I heard it all already, but I heard so many new things and was taking notes the whole time!

I love the different perspectives. I feel like it all came together in a way that no single speaker could have done. I've read a million books, but this is the first time that something deep clicked for me: this is not about fixing my child.

Ever faced a purple-faced, thundering little human who wanted red pajamas?

Your differently wired child will keep surprising you. They won’t respond to punishments or traditional parenting techniques. In fact, every time you try a classic rewards + consequence + consistency approach​ it lands you in deeper water.

I know what it feels like to raise a child that popular parenting books are just not written for.​ But there’s a different playbook for a differently wired kid — and it changes everything.

Here’s what really works:

Tried-and-tested tools for complex kids.

A new language that matches your differently-wired child. 

A community that understands the whole picture and helps you teach real-life skills for school, friends, and family.

Been-there-cried-that support by other parents going through the same challenges.

Balance is tricky when you’re parenting on
"super-intense" mode.

So we’ve gathered some of the most experienced professionals in the Jewish world who really get it.

They’ll share the unique perspective, hope and practical parenting tools that affect real change.​

You can parent this child and create a home of balance, with boundaries  and connection

There were a lot of YES! moments where the speaker said something that just resonated so much. It was like I had always had some sort of feeling and they were able to put words to it so now I can express it.

I loved hearing the frum hashkafa and practices about parenting challenging kids and will share this with my families through the coaching/consulting that I do.

Understanding how others’ brains work differently helped me be more understanding of my kids. I came away with practical ideas to use with my kids to keep them busy, help them regulate, and have more patience with them.

DAY 1

Finding Balance while Parenting Your Complex Child

Every day I try to balance everyone's needs, and every day I go to sleep drained!


We’re dedicating day one of this summit to putting Hashem, Balance, and Meaning into the picture. This is hard AND there are hashkafos/mindsets we can internalize that make a HUGE difference.

DAY 2

Parent Mental Health:
This is our journey too. 

Parenting this child is going to require more than "self-care."

 

Focus on yourself today. Gain insight, wisdom, and practical tools to help you focus inward; be inspired to do the meaningful work that doesn't depend on your kids' cooperation.

DAY 3

A Deeper Understanding of Diagnoses

Diagnoses are confusing. Period.

​

Today we focus on deepening our understanding of how different brains are wired and what we do and don't know about what is truly helpful. 

DAY 4

Interesting Interventions

"I want to help my child; I also feel like I don't even know what's out there."

​

Today we dive into conventional and unconventional interventions that mothers in our online community have found helpful for their complex kids.

Yes! Today is a day where super-dedicated, real moms and parent coaches share the real tools that work in their real (and complex) homes.

 

(Available through Friday and Motzei Shabbos)

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Ilyssa

And I’m so glad you’re here!

​

I’m a mom of five, passionate about helping parents connect to their most complex children. 
 

After training as a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara and studying developmental psychology at Stanford University I thought I was super-prepared to be a mommy. But really, my kids taught me more than academia ever could have.​
​

My personal journey as a parent has given me deep compassion for parents raising challenging kids. ​

 

That’s why I created this summit.
