Are You Feeling

Depleted, Defeated, or Desperate?

Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed by trying to read the books, doing

the research, and looking for all the possible explanations for your

child's issues and struggles.

Maybe you're feeling saddened that, despite your prayers and best efforts to understand your child and his unique needs, you just can't figure out

how to deal with him effectively or connect.

Maybe you're feeling discouraged that you can't get on the same page with parenting, find consistency, or agree about how to handle your child, his intense emotions, or challenging behavior.

Maybe you're feeling exhausted by the amount of doctors, counseling, occupational and physical therapy, or other appointments you and your child have on the schedule, and you aren't even sure they are helping.

Maybe you're feeling guilty about focusing your limited time, efforts, resources, and energy on your business or activities, knowing that you really need to invest in figuring out those nagging concerns you still have about your child.

Maybe you're feeling defeated, wondering if your child or family, for that matter, will even know peace and calm again, or even have a chance at making fun memories together, because of all the turmoil and stress in your home.

Maybe you're feeling desperate to find your child, your other children, yourself,

and your entire family a bit of relief from the meltdowns and constant struggle.

Maybe you're feeling so incredibly consumed by your child's behaviors, emotions, issues, medication maintenance, and daily care that you question

if you even exist outside of these challenges.

Imagine...

Waking up in a home where you can feel calm and content. You are confident in how you will handle troubles that may arise, and you have the energy and desire to do fun things!

You feel a connection with your child and can

truly enjoy their company!

You feel aware of your child and their unique needs, and you can anticipate how they may handle situations. There is a new sense of acceptance of the needs they have and also a clarity in the steps you would take to be effective in helping them. You are no longer searching for things that will be a miracle cure, instead, you are confident in your knowledge and skill to understand, communicate, and work through difficult times. You can face each day with a renewed sense of understanding and tools that you have found to help you and your child feel calm, confident, successful, and truly connected. For the first time, you are on the same page with parenting and your parenting approach. You realize you now have the energy and ability to invest in things that

help you feel refreshed and fulfilled. And. that. feels. good.

Instead of...

Dreading Each Day and Watching Your Family Disintegrate Under The Pressure of Doubt or Despair

This Is Why I Created The

Calm Connection

Parenting Program

A Parent Coaching Program That Can Help Walk You Through The Step-By-Step Approach That Can Help Transform You and Your Family In Just Minutes A Day!

Tired of Trying to Calm Big Emotions or Behaviors With No Success?

You have a child who tends to be highly emotional, appears oppositional at times, and experiences severe tantrums or meltdowns. In fact, it doesn't just affect that child, it affects all of your children, and the entire family. You are feeling desperate for something that brings relief and can help calm your home, help you feel effective, and allow your family to experience the lighter side of life every once in a while. I get it. I started feeling like we had lost touch with calm and confidence and connection, until I started putting some of the iHeart principles to work in our own home. You can trade the stress and the struggle for that calm, confident connection!

I knew from the time our fifth child was around 3 years old that we were experiencing things we hadn't with our four prior children. I knew they were each unique and had differing personalities, but I also knew in my heart that we were dealing with more. Perhaps you have had that feeling too?!

When he started school, those issues started becoming more apparent. He was very unfocused and struggled to learn from his mistakes. I knew his personality was not similar mine, but the struggle we felt between us grew greater. As a mental health professional, I was thinking that we were probably dealing with ADHD but also something else. I just wasn't sure what.

An occupational therapist helped me start understanding his sensory processing issues. I realized that his needs required something I had never really had to practice in mothering before. Through the years of watching his diagnosis morph and change, we realized that dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, Rejection Sensitive Disorder, and a seizure disorder would all be part of the picture. Thank God for helping us find the answers and support we were desperately seeking.

What I didn't necessarily understand early on was the amount of understanding, adjusting, learning, practicing, empathizing, listening, and readjusting that would be necessary. Through prayer, trial, and error we found some great concepts and strategies that have helped us navigate these issues. And now, I can't help but want to share them with other families who are experiencing similar struggles. It was obvious that there was limited support and resources. As a result, my passion to support other families and parents in this journey has grown. And that is what brings me here... to you! I want to provide you with hope, help, and resources so you can discover that calm and confidence that can lead you to feeling a connection with your child unlike ever before! Let's do it!

"We should have hired Jami first, and

a long, long time ago!"

Just got off of another coaching call session with Jami, who is not just a Parenting Coach to me, but an absolute answer to prayer as well as my favorite investment of all time...We hired Jami feeling like this was one more thing we could at least try for our special needs child's situation in addition to doctors/therapies/appointments, to now feeling like we should have hired Jami first, and a long, long time ago for the growth and benefits of our entire family. It is truly a rare and special thing how much Jami cares and supports, and I can be my actual self with her. We have a sisterhood, and I still move forward in the program and do the inner work. I have not felt as lonely as a special needs mom, and I've learned a bunch of helpful things that have created some wins with our girl, where it could have turned into a 2-hour meltdown, but it didn't! Now we have training, understanding, Jami's expertise, support and growing tools to help us on this journey.

A Glimpse Inside the Program...

MODULE 1

Investigate

Utilize the iHeart approach as you learn to look internally at what you bring to a situation. Identify how or if your thoughts, feelings, fears, or past experiences are affecting you in parenting. Evaluate issues for you and your child. Learn the value of listening for what is said, not said, or noises surrounding an event to gain new understanding.

MODULE 2

Validate

Take some time learning how to really empathize. Practice effective dialogue that helps your child feel understood and less threatened. Find out some effective ways to make adjustments in your problem solving and parenting approaches that can increase success and connection as you learn to communicate and relate.

MODULE 3

Create

After getting clarity on the first four steps of the iHeart approach, you will be feeling more confident to make necessary adjustments based on what your child needs. You will be ready to think about responses and how important they really are to help you learn to transform the relationship between you and your child.

MODULE 4

Incorporate

Gaining clarity in the iHeart approach will help you to operate as a calm and confident parent. At this step, you are ready to put all the steps of iHeart together with the personality concepts to understand your child at a whole new level. This refreshed and renewed perspective of your child's needs will be key to helping you connect in a whole new way. It's exciting!

Scared to Invest in "One More Thing?"
This is the "One Thing" that can make a miraculous difference

not just for you, but your child, and your entire family!

Many families at this point have felt the frustration of trying many different medications, therapies, doctors, counselors, and programs. The problem is, that many of these well-meaning professionals have never had to deal with these issues in their own home. So having a parent coach who has tried "all the things" and tried-n-erred her way can help you short cut to the "one thing" that can be an effective tool for you, your child, your other children...let's face it...the entire family! I get it! You don't have money or time or energy to waste. You need tools that work. I feel confident these tools can bring you lasting results and a connection like you've never experienced before. Just 90 days and your family could experience a total turnaround.

"This has been more than worth it! Don't stay stuck! Jump in, it will change your life!"

This program is a real eye opener! It’s so refreshing to realize that we are not alone! Connecting with other parents who share some of the same experiences we have has been such a relief. I'm not crazy! My favorite part of the course is being able to be honest and real about my struggles. Jami has really been insightful and helped me gain some great perspectives on my approach to my kids. This has been more than worth it! Don’t stay stuck!

Jump in, it will change your life!

Spread Thin and Little Time for More?

I get it! As a mom of seven, I understand what it feels like when you're spread thin. You don't have time for remedies that are time consuming or a waste of time. This is something you can implement in just minutes a day. And the more you use it, the easier it gets to implement. It will become a natural response and will actually help you regain your time and energy when you start feeling calm, confident, and effective with your child!

I'M A BUSY MOM AND NEED THISThere's no time to waste!

"Absolutely worth it...I only wish

I'd done it sooner!"

The way I see my child is totally different. I can’t believe the difference, it’s like a total 180 degree turnaround! I have a totally new relationship with him! This program was life changing. I came in feeling overwhelmed, like I was failing. It was so emotional to finally have someone who validated without judgment that you are doing the best you can, but someone who gives you tools to be a better parent for your child. Now we feel confident, at peace, more secure in how we’re doing with ALL of our kids, and Jason and I are getting along better. Working with Jami equipped us to advocate with doctors, teachers, and family. We knew it was a big investment, but it was absolutely worth it... every penny. I only wish I’d done it sooner!

"Empowered me to be a better

advocate for him..."

I connected with Jami during an intensely difficult time as a mother, when I was searching and praying for a better understanding of my son's complex challenges and needs and how to ensure his well-being and safety, as well as that of my other children. She has been an incredible source of support and provided a wealth of resources, tools, and practical information that has helped me not only understand my son's brain better but empowered me to be a better advocate for him with family members, professionals, and his school. She is sensitive, responsive, and caring, and works hard to ensure that my concerns are addressed and questions answered in a safe and validating setting. She truly supports me in my efforts as a mother, helping me navigate through some very difficult parenting challenges while always honoring my mother's heart and insights. Jami is a miracle worker and heaven-sent!

If We Haven't Met, I'm Jami Kirkbride

Speaker, Author, Personality Trainer,

L.P.C., and Parenting Coach

Jami Kirkbride is a speaker, author, licensed professional counselor, parenting coach, personality trainer, and most importantly...a mom of seven blessings! Over the course of her mothering years, she's enjoyed numerous opportunities to speak, teach, and write as she educates and inspires moms. She began her work focusing on personalities, but through life experiences, and client journeys, she has found that personalities coupled with sensory needs and mental health issues is an area that needs more education, focus, and support.

Jami co-authored a book titled, The You Zoo, a children’s personality assessment and parenting resource. She also appears as a regular feature, Counselor for Moms, on ChannelMom's syndicated radio program out of Denver, CO. Her work has been featured on CBN.com, Focus on the Family’s Focus on Your Child, MOPS International, MOMSense radio, and TODAY Parenting. She has been a contributing author to six books, including Laundry Tales, Pearl Girls, and Mommy Diaries.

Jami and her husband Jeff are nestled on a quiet Wyoming prairie where their seven children, Bennett, Grayson, Jayden, Savannah, Jackson, Carter, and Taylor (with his family) keep them busy. Their home is rarely quiet, except in the wee hours, which are sometimes the best time to think and create. Very creamy coffee, cat naps, and quiet times help power her beyond the messiness of motherhood to appreciate the joys and blessings amidst the challenges!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few answers to common questions.

What if I can't afford the program?

Ultimately, I only want you to apply to this program if it feels right for you. So, if the cost is something you feel you can't afford, you have a few options:

1. Take a step of faith and see how God provides.

2. Wait, pray, and save until you feel the time is right.

3. Ask if there might be any current scholarship opportunities. This is something churches occasionally do to help a family in great need, so you might consider that option as well.

4. Take a long hard look at your budget and see if there are any places you might cut back and save (eating out, Starbucks, clothing budget, smaller scale vacation, or even selling some things that are just taking up space in your storeroom.). I've seen some people make some big sacrifices to get the help their family needs.

When we follow God's call, we are sometimes asked to step out in faith and take action. It might also help to think of this program as an investment in your child, family, and future. It can be easy to invest in business or other things, but when family is a priority, it might mean investing there as well. This investment is one that can pay off for generations to come!

Do you offer refunds?

"Positive Parenting” Promise: In 6 months, you will say with 100% certainty that you have built a stronger, healthier relationship with your child and gained tools to continue building connection. Or, I'll refund 100% of your money.

Show me that you have missed not more than three of the coaching sessions offered, completed the workbooks, and listened to all the training videos. Then schedule a session for us to discuss your progress or lack of progress, and how we can handle a refund.

Can you guarantee that we won't have any more meltdowns?

I wish I could work those kinds of miracles! I can tell you that you will experience a drastic reduction in meltdowns both frequency and intensity. In fact, within just the first couple of weeks, parents have experienced a remarkable change. But it is important to remember that your child may have some needs and issues that need to be explored. Once you know more about those needs and how they relate to their emotional or mental (for some even physical) health, you will have a better idea of the future expectations you can reasonably have.

I can guarantee you that when you approach this program with an open heart, open mind, and willingness to implement the skills, you will develop skills, strategies, and mindsets that empower you in parenting your high-need child. And through the challenges and stresses, you will be able to develop a connection that builds the trust to work through hard things when or if they do occur. And that is golden!

What if I get behind in the coursework or homework?

Your journey through this program will be unique to you. The information here is intended to be self-paced and tailored to your needs. So when you have time to devour a couple of videos, you can do that...any time! And when you feel stressed and spread thin and can't get to a video, that's OK! You have access to these materials for the lifetime of this course. So you can return to videos or audios at any time. And all the coaching sessions are recorded, so if you have to miss one, you can catch it later. Your focus during the first four months will likely be learning the basic skills and developing the mindsets. The second four months, you work to start consistently implementing the iHeart approach and other skills (revisiting some of the training sessions and videos). The last four months, you are utilizing the skills and approach and can get support or help with brainstorming solutions should you hit some speedbumps. You won't need to worry about being behind. You have lots of time to get through the materials, so prioritize your time with a coach and do the other stuff as your time allows.

My life is so busy right now, what if I'm too busy for this right now?

This is truly something that you need to think about and pray about. And I encourage you to follow God's plan for you.

I also want to ask you a couple things...

1. When will your life be less busy? We sometimes wait for the next "not busy" season and never find it. We just move from busy to busy!

2. What will happen if you don't get help with the things that are wearing you, your child, and your family down? Where will you be in a year? That answer might help you prioritize both the financial and time investment.

3. How much time could you reclaim if all the time you spent dealing with challenging behaviors, intense emotions, meltdowns, and high sensitivity could be reclaimed? How many minutes or hours a day are you spending on these issues? Many families report spending 1-3 hours a day dealing with all of that. Would it be worth it for you to have tools and strategies that could help you reclaim 1-3 hours a day or 7-20 hours a week?!

Ultimately, you need to commit when you can choose to make it work. Life might not get easier, so do it when you feel like it can benefit your family and help you become the family God would have you to be.

What are your qualifications and experience?

That is an important question. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counseling. I am a licensed professional counselor, speaker, author, personality trainer, and mother of seven. I am currently working as a parent coach. And I am careful to respect those boundaries of coaching and counseling. You may already be working with a counselor, and that is fine. The work we do will be different and will be focused on your parenting, learning skills, strategies, mindsets, and approaches to help you navigate high emotions in your home, difficult routines that trip up your child, and understanding what is behind the challenging behaviors and intense emotions. I will not be functioning as a counselor, but as a parenting coach. I will not offer medical advice, and will continually remind you that if you need the care of a counselor or medical doctor, that you consult the appropriate professional for those needs.

As for experience...I am a mother of seven and have walked the difficult road of having a child who struggles with intense emotions, ADHD, anxiety, depression, a mood disorder, and even suicidal ideation. The road often felt dark, lonely, overwhelming, and heartbreaking. I struggled to find the resources, support, and understanding that our family needed. I felt quite certain that despite my best efforts, my child and family might not make it. By God's grace, we found our way. We put together pieces of my son's health and well being. We learned strategies for working with him. We figured out some key things about his brain wiring and how we might better support those needs he had. And truly God revealed this step-by-step approach with the catchy iHeart acronym when I tried to retrace the steps that helped us succeed. Now, my passion is to help other families navigate this challenging journey. I want to help you trade the emotional chaos for the calm, confident, connection that will help your child and family not just survive, but thrive! I am here to help you do the hard work and heart work of parenting!
