Introducing the:

Confident & Connected Method  

Raise Your Strong Willed Child Without Regrets

For parents raising spirited kids who want a loving, fun cooperative home WITHOUT breaking their child's spirit (or damaging the relationship) with threats, punishments and criticism. 

Right now, you're desperate to find a way to get through to your determined strong-willed child BUT...

You feel overwhelmed from all of the conflicting parenting advice you see and hear

You are SICK and TIRED of being told you just need to 'spank them' or give them some 'real discipline'

You are STRUGGLING to enforce all the conventional parenting strategies like time-out's and punishments

(which only seem to enflame things more).

You find yourself thinking:

"Why do simple everyday things always have to be SO HARD with my child?"

"I feel horrible for losing my cool but my child pushes my buttons constantly"

"This is NOT what I thought parenthood would be like"

"I feel like I'm failing as a parent"


The strategies you're using aren't working

 and something needs to change

Your spirited strong-willed child is more complex than the average child, and applying one-size-fits all parenting strategies to them will leave you feeling frustrated, resentful and exhausted 

(and it may even damage your relationship forever).


There's an EASIER way to gain your child's listening and cooperation in a way that actually FEELS GOOD.


I've developed a complete system that allows you to target specific strategies with your strong willed child, so you can be exponentially more effective as a parent and the core of that system is better understanding your strong willed child so you can get through to them effectively.

Doing the same thing over and over without results is the definition of insanity. Stop doing this with your most important job in the world, raising a child.

Mom of 2

I walked into this course defeated, alone, and feeling that this was my last  hope...

for finding something that could actually help with turning our whole family dynamic around-and this course did not disappoint. While in the course, I (for the first time since becoming a mother) felt seen and heard and knew that I had found my people. Angela always was intentional about creating a safe and open space for us to share our thoughts and struggles and work together to find practical solutions that actually work if you’re willing to put the effort in. Upon finishing this course, I was more confident in my role as a mom and I will forever shout my praises for Angela and this course and recommend it to anyone who gets to experience the wild and rewarding ride of raising a strong willed child.

Listen, I know a lot of parents (and even parenting experts) are telling you to use the same old one-size-fits-all parenting approaches like harsh discipline, punishments and time-outs to control your child's big behaviors. 


But guess what?


Those parents are not raising a Spirited Child!

(Aka one with a Much more complex temperament!!)


Stop focusing on parenting strategies that aren't working for your unique child and start using strategies that are tailored to their unique temperament, personality and primary needs. 


The best part is, not only will you be more effective in gaining their cooperation and compliance, you'll be giving them the skills to live a good life, AND strengthening your parent-child relationship.


The Confident & Connected Method Online Course is an 8 week program that teaches you the specific steps to raise your strong-willed child in a way that builds connection and cooperation and lessens power struggles and resistance.

You will learn exactly how to:

  • Understand why your child is unique and needs a different approach than conventional parenting methods
  • Learn to work with your child’s natural temperament + personality and not against it

  • Learn what motivates your unique child to improve cooperation + listening in the moment AND long-term

     been given the tools to discover it yet.

    The 8 week Confident & Connected Method Online Course is a live program that teaches you exactly how to raise your spirited determined child without breaking their spirit or damaging your parent-child relationship.


    EVEN IF you feel completely hopeless and at the end of your rope physically and emotionally

    EVEN IF your child doesn't listen and cooperate at all

    ...Just a few examples from Confident & Connected Method Students...

    Confident and Connected: Raising Your Spirited Child


    My 5 year old son, who was the reason I needed help so badly, has improved in every way – and so has my relationship with him!  Now it is my 3 year old daughter who is taking a turn in the drivers seat of difficult behaviors!  These two kiddos both fit the SWC description to a T. Thankfully I’m much better prepared to respond appropriately,  I’m infused with excitement from what progress we’ve made and what a huge difference I’ve seen in their behavior and mine!


    Leisel 



    During the course I was able to reflect on how my actions contributed to how my children were responding. I looked forward to the Q and A sessions weekly and Angela went above and beyond trying to help with personal obstacles and challenges. I would recommend this course to any parent who is willing to put in effort and work into be the best parent they can be.


    Stephanie 



    I took Angela's 7 week course which was FANTASTIC. Her methods have changed ME and how I choose to see my incredible daughter. Our relationship is getting better, our daughter is growing up learning how to use her skills in positive ways, and our home is becoming a place of peace.

    Raising a Strong-Willed Child feels HARD but it doesn't have to.

    If you want results like these it doesn't come from constant trial and error and trying to figure it out on your own.

    Trying to figure it out on your own leads to constant frustration, disappointment, wasted time

     and missed opportunities to connect and have fun with your amazing child.

    will this work for me?

    The Confident & Connected Course Framework was created for parents and caregivers of Strong-willed kids who are stressed, overwhelmed and Stuck, and looking for new ways of guiding + teaching their child in a way that builds connection and cooperation and lessens power struggles and resistance.

    cooperation, Connection and JOY.

    A truth I wish I didn't see as often as I do... 

    Every day, great parents raising great kids feel like they're failing

     because they're using the wrong tools.

    The constant cycle of 'trial and error' and doing the same old one-size-fits-all parentings strategies are NOT a viable strategies.

    Confident & Connected students have started a new life with their strong-willed child finding more confidence in their parenting, an connection in their parent child relationship.

    ...but that only happened as a result of fully committing to the program

    They enrolled because they tried to figure it out on their own and wasted months...often times years stuck in a cycle of negativity and disconnection with their child because they didn't have a step-by-step system to follow.

    You have two choices...

    Keep wasting time and energy using the same strategies that don't work with strong-willed temperaments

    Take 8 weeks to implement the steps that have worked for me and hundreds of others...and watch the cooperation and connection in your home soar.

    "The way I FEEL about my daughter is different. I don't view her as an adversary anymore. And I don't view myself as helpless anymore. I feel like a leader now and I feel like she is just being her own individual and isn't intentionally making my life difficult whereas before I felt like she was being an enemy to me."


    Cierra O. Mom of 2 

    "

    "I have really focused on my son's Areas of Temperament and brainstorming the best techniques to deal with his exact combination of characteristics. A lot of it is breaking away from patterns I was raised with. Now when he does have those moments, I find it they are shorter-lived than normal."


    Lorraine 

    "It has helped me so much, not just as a mom, but just as a woman. I have felt for the last 3 years of her life I have not been living up to the mother I have always wanted to be. I see now my parent ego, my fears I project & the unrealistic standards I set for myself solely out of fear. With your workshops I was really able to understand myself on such a deeper level that I now feel like I can understand my daughter & help her understand herself. "


    Michelle K. 

    "

    "Your course has given me the foundation to check my own emotions and reactions and try to understand what's going on with my daughter so I can respond in a helpful and effective way more often. This has helped me be responsive instead of reactive in our interactions."

    I know you've been telling  yourself:

    I just need to be more firm... more consistent... connect with my child more...just get through this hard phase...

    It's NOT true.


    After spending 4 years stuck in a painful cycle of frustration, negativity and guilt with my own family, I've unlocked a simple system for raising respectful and cooperative strong-willed kids without harsh tactics or damaged relationships...

    ...and it all starts with having the right knowledge and tools

    Meet your instructor, Angela Pruess, LMFT

    Raising your strong willed child without regrets

    I was drowning...and I’m a mental health professional who specializes in children.

    10 years ago I had my first child, and I’m going to be honest with you, I thought I had the parenting scene under wraps. I had a bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology, a Master’s in Family Therapy and had a clear picture of how I’d raise my kids for some time. 


    What I didn’t know then was that no educational background or professional training could have prepared me to raise the unique child I was given, a determined spirited strong-willed child.


    I spent years trying...what I was taught in school (behaviorism), what other’s told me to do (conventional parenting techniques) and everything in between. For years I was stuck in a cycle of frustration and resentment with my small child, and family life felt heavy and stressful. 


    One day as I stood outside my daughter’s bedroom door locked into a power struggle and listening to her crying hysterically something in me shifted. I realized I was trying the same things over and over and they weren’t working.


    After several years of pouring over my clinical insights, research on human development/neuropsychology, and resources from thought leaders in the positive discipline field, I started to discover the confidence in my parenting, and deep connection with my child, that I had been desperately searching for all along. 


    For the past 7 years, I’ve taken the insights I’ve learned and supported hundreds of parents raising spirited, emotional and determined kids though my therapy practice and online coaching.


    I wholeheartedly believe that every. single. child. deserves to meet their full potential and every parent deserves to enjoy the beautiful gift that is parenthood. 

    This journey isn't easy BUT you don't have to do it alone.

    What will you gain by clicking the 'sign up' button?

    Is the program right for you?

    It is a good fit if...

    • You have an open mind and are ready to try new things to improve your family life
    • You're done with surface-level approaches that sometimes work in the short term to gain behavioral compliance but don't change behaviors long-term or improve relationships.
    • You're ready to commit to learning new things in order to make positive change from the inside out.
    • You don't have time or energy to dig into dozens of parenting books and academic research on how children learn and grow best.
    • You're ready to start a new chapter of parenting your intense child and let go of negativity and guilt from the past.
    • You're looking for an up to date research-based approach on discipline that doesn't leave an imprint of emotional damage, anxiety, and low self-esteem

    It is not a good fit if...

    • You're looking for a quick temporary fix to force and manipulate your child into obedience
    • You're not ready to reflect on your own actions and behaviors as a parent and how they shape dynamics
    • You're not open to different parenting approaches research tells us work better to discipline and raise emotionally healthy kids
    • You believe your child is the only one that needs to change.

    What makes what I teach in this course so different and effective ?


    There are plenty of others giving parenting advice online, and many of them are great! However, almost none of them have clinical expertise or lived experience with the strong willed child temperament, and the complex needs and approaches that work with these awesome kids.


    So much of the advice you'll find elsewhere fit's into the bucket of 'one-size-fits-all conventional parenting mumbo jumbo'. These kids need different parenting approaches. Period.


    My framework is the only one of it's kind because it was born of my solid knowledge foundation as a children's mental health professional.
