From Reactive
To Responsive
Learn to manage YOURSELF amidst the parenting chaos
Join Dr. Endy on Thursday, September 25th at 8pm Eastern for this free workshop!
For parents of 2-10-year olds who want to drop the overwhelm, guilt, and frustration and start enjoying parenting.
To the Parent who knows Your Child Deserves the BEST Version of You:
There are 3 Essential Keys Every Parents Needs to Know to Best Support their Kids
...and We’re Breaking them Down in this Free Workshop
Parenting can be SO HARD. Especially if you don't know how to handle yourself in the face of your kid’s challenging behavior, right?! And if you’re like most of the parents I work with, you became a parent because you wanted to ENJOY having a family…
...not spend all day managing tantrums and trying to prevent sibling fights!
You no longer want to:
• Feel like you live on the edge of frustration - all the whining and defiance is SOO annoying!
• Snap at your kids over little things like spilled juice or a toy they left out.
• Catch yourself raising your voice more than you’d like… then feeling guilty afterward.
• Repeat that thing your mom or dad always said when you swore you’d never say that to your own kid.
• Dissociate by scrolling on your phone to avoid the kids because you’re exhausted, overstimulated, or just DONE
• Say “just stop crying!” when you know they need comfort, but you don’t have the patience left to give it.
OR
• Collapse into bed thinking, "I was way too harsh today."
Whether you call it “gentle parenting,” see yourself as a “cycle breaker,” or simply want to raise kind, confident kids…
The truth is, in stressful moments we default to how we were raised...and it usually isn’t pretty.
That doesn’t make you a bad parent. It just means parenting differently requires a new skillset.
When your best intentions turn into yelling or losing your cool, it’s not because you’re failing. It’s because no one ever handed you the right tools.
And that’s exactly what you’ll get inside this workshop.
I’m going to teach you ONE simple shift that changes everything...
How to respond instead of react!
Because when you can stay calm and connected - even in the hard moments - you don’t just parent differently…
you become the parent you’ve always wanted to be…and your kid starts to feel calmer and responds differently, too.
FROM THIS:
TO THIS:
Imagine if...
• Your kids actually listened the first time — without constant yelling or repeating yourself
• You had tools to handle meltdowns calmly, with confidence
• Bedtime went smoothly, with more cuddles and connection than power struggles
• You could actually enjoy family time instead of dreading the entire evening routine
• When your child looks you dead in the eye and throws her food on the floor, you could respond lovingly, instead of snapping
• Your child felt safe enough to share their big feelings — and you felt equipped to guide them through it
Imagine Feeling Calm AND Having a Happy Kid...
INTRODUCING…
From Reactive
to Responsive
The simple 3-step process to help you master your OWN behavior in stressful parenting situations
From Reactive to Responsive is your essential first step towards a calmer, more connected family life. This free 90-minute live parenting workshop is designed to help parents learn to manage their own emotional reactions and parenting behavior in response to their child's behavior by providing practical strategies and insights.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
✅ Learn what to do when you get emotionally triggered, so you don’t flip your lid and say something you later regret
✅ Discover the essential skill you need to master to manage your OWN behavior in stressful parenting situations
✅ Explore practical methods that help you pause, reflect, and choose a constructive response to your child's behavior every time!
✅ Understand what it takes to become UNFLAPPABLE
What does it mean to become unflappable?
Imagine a mother bear and her cubs. The cubs wrestle, climb, and nip each other, tumbling over each other, sometimes pushing limits. The mother doesn’t get flustered. She may gently but firmly grab a cub by the scruff of his neck and put him back in his place, but she does not growl. She is strong in her authority while being nurturing and present with her cubs.
She is unflappable.
An unflappable parent keeps their cool, without being emotionally cold.
An unflappable parent understands their child’s behavior in the context of their development, so they don't take their child's behavior personally
An unflappable parent can self-regulate in stressful moments
An unflappable parent puts their child's emotional needs above their own
An unflappable parent can set appropriate boundaries while staying emotionally connected to their child
When you go
From Reactive To Responsive
You become unflappable.
What people are saying about working with
Dr. Katherine Endy, The Family Life Coach
Meg, mom of two kids:
“There are fewer meltdowns, fewer power struggles, and more laughter in our home. He’s gained independence, we have a bigger parenting “toolbox,” and, maybe most importantly, Katherine helped us become a stronger parenting team.”
Isabell, mom of a toddler:
“Before taking Katherine’s workshop, I used to take my son’s tantrums really personally. I felt I was doing something wrong, I wasn’t giving him what he needs, I’m a bad mom. And after the workshop I felt like he’s doing what he’s supposed to do, that he’s expressing his emotions the way he needs to, the only way he knows how, and all I need to do is accept it, not make it about me, and really just be there for him."
In This Workshop You'll Discover...
o The 3 essential keys to being a responsive parent
o The steps you need to take to drop the guilt, frustration, and reactivity
o How to parent from a place of connection, not coercion
"But Katherine, I don’t have time!"
Yes, parenting differently takes time. But parenting takes time - period. You could spend that time locked in a power struggle with your kid or creating connection and emotional safety. The choice is yours.
"I’m afraid it won’t work."
I get it - you’ve tried everything on the internet and nothing seems to work. That’s exactly why I created this workshop - because it’s not about “tips and tricks” or “parenting hacks” you see on Instagram, learning to be responsive involves some inner work to shift how you are BEING when you’re with your child. How do I know this works?
1. I have lived it as a mom of 3 who used to yell and lose her cool on the daily and now, after implementing conscious parenting principles, I never, ever have the impulse to yell at my kids. Ever.
2. I have done the research. My doctoral research explored mindful parenting and emotional regulation, so I have read hundreds of research articles and conducted my own research on this topic.
"My kid is neurodivergent."
In my experience as a mom of two neurodivergent kids (both diagnosed in their teens), I have found that even less reactivity is essential for a calm, emotionally-regulated household. Whether your child is highly sensitive, recently diagnosed with autism, ADHD, or a learning disorder, or you’re wondering but not yet sure what your child’s particular challenge is, cultivating an ability to slow down, make space, and respond to whatever is right in front of you is absolutely key to everyone’s sense of safety and well-being.
What Parents Are Saying About Working With Katherine:
Jesse, dad of a 5-year-old:
"The emotional regulation piece of this really hit home for me with [my son] and really helped me personally as well. Not letting my emotions turn into a feeling that makes me doing something I shouldn't do or react in a certain [negative] way."
Laura, mom of a 4 year-old:
“I didn’t know what to do, other than repeat the things that were done to me, or give in. Katherine’s work has given us other options.” -

Yes! This workshop is for YOU, the parent, and is designed for you to make the changes you need to be responsive instead of reactive to your child’s behaviors, whether your child is neurotypical or neurodivergent. While this workshop does not specifically address neurodivergence, this is an area of parenting I am intimately familiar with.
Yes. Many parents I work with are neurodivergent, most diagnosed later in life or have self-diagnosed.
