I felt like I was drowning before I found Parent Rising. Nothing else was helping and I was out of ideas. These guides didn’t judge me, they gave me a lifeline. For the first time in months, I felt like I had something to hold onto.

We tried therapy, books, everything… but my daughter still wouldn’t talk to me. The Calm Conversations Toolkit was a game changer. It helped me speak in a way she could actually hear. We’re finally talking again.
