The worst part was feeling every eye on me when it happened. Now when strangers stare, I actually know what to do instead of just standing there mortified. I cannot tell you how much stress it's taken off me to be able to go out again."

“We used to whisper-fight the second he got loud or would start crying outside our bedroom door at 1AM. At breakfast my wife would hold her food close to her mouth and like cry into it. But we both handle them better now, we feel equipped with the tantrum playbook they can't run over us now."

“Bedtime used to be 90 minutes of threats, guilt, screaming and fake tears. Now it’s predictable. The house is quieter, and we actually get time back. Not magic, but a plan I can run when it counts.”

"Every night I had this sheer emotional exhaustion from my daughters. Four days in, outings stopped feeling like emergencies. Cookie-aisle meltdown last week and yes, people stared, but we left with dignity. No bribes, no tears in the car, no replaying strangers' judgy faces all evening. I'm like, I wish I found this sooner!"

“We used to whisper-fight the second he got loud or would start crying outside our bedroom door at 1AM and that would trigger my anxiety something awful. Now things finally feel normal."

"I didn’t realize how much my anxiety was running the show. Two days in, outings stopped feeling like emergencies. Cookie-aisle meltdown last week and… we left with dignity. No bribes, no tears in the car. I'm like, I wish I found this sooner!"

“Bedtime used to be 90 minutes of threats, guilt, screaming and fake tears. Now it’s predictable. The house is quieter, and we actually get time back. Not magic, but a plan I can run when it counts.”
