Screen limits your child actually keeps
Agreements you create together and reevaluate, instead of rules you announce and fight over. Fewer arguments about the phone, more cooperation, and respect that goes both ways.

What you discovered today is just the beginning.
Perhaps there’s a question still sitting in the back of your mind.
“This all sounds wonderful, Elvie. But will it actually work in MY home?”
Maybe:
- Your child used to tell you everything, but now they shut down the moment you try to talk.
- You keep having the same arguments about screens, homework, or attitude.
- You’ve tried the books, the podcasts, being more patient, and setting firmer rules, but nothing seems to stick.
- You lose your patience more often than you’d ever admit to another parent.
- You’re worried that so much distance has already grown between you and your child that it might be too late to change things.
Here’s what I’ve learned from over 20 years of working with children and families: the parents who create the most meaningful changes at home aren’t necessarily the calmest or the ones with the easiest children.
They’re the parents who are willing to look at their own patterns, embrace new perspectives, and practice a different way of connecting, even when it feels unfamiliar.
That same invitation is open to you today.
“You helped me to first look into my own fears and then focus on the evidence-based tools to develop further and keep my connection with my girls. My expectations were met and exceeded.”
Eli M.Here’s what twelve weeks from now could look like
You catch your own reactions before they take over
The sigh, the sharp tone, the sentence you regret. You begin to recognize it coming and know how to pause and choose a different response.
A child who actually wants to talk to you again
Conversations that go beyond “fine.” Your child feels comfortable sharing their world with you, even the difficult stuff, because they trust you’ll listen.
More laughter and family time everyone enjoys
More spontaneous conversations, inside jokes, shared activities, and those little moments when you’re simply enjoying each other’s company instead of arguing about what needs to be done.
Repair instead of silence
You’ll probably still have difficult days. But you’ll know how to reconnect and work through disagreements, teaching your child those same skills along the way.
Feeling like the parent you were meant to be
Calmer, more confident, and able to hold boundaries without losing your warmth. You can guide your child without every disagreement becoming a battle.
A strong connection that lasts long after they grow up
Imagine your child becoming an independent adult who still wants you in their life. Someone who calls to share good news, asks for your advice, and turns to you when life gets difficult, because the trust you’ve built has grown right along with them.
Why so many good parents end up in the same fight
The numbers tell an interesting story:
5 hours, 33 minutes
The average time children ages 8–12 spend on entertainment screen media every day.
38%
of parents with teens say they argue about how much time their child spends on the phone.
62%
of parents say raising children has been harder than they expected.
(Sources: Common Sense Media (2021) and Pew Research Center (2024, 2023). U.S. data.)
Here’s what these numbers tell us: As children grow, staying connected and navigating everyday challenges is becoming harder for many families.
Some parents respond to these challenges by becoming stricter, relying on more rules and consequences.
Others try to be endlessly patient, sometimes struggling to hold the boundaries their children still need.
And even the best parenting advice can be difficult to put into practice when emotions run high.
The missing piece is an approach that considers BOTH of you.
One that combines healthy boundaries with genuine connection, helps you understand each other beyond your roles, and gives you both the skills to communicate and work through challenges together.
That’s exactly what the Family Strengths and Connection Program is designed to help you do.
Introducing the Family Strengths and Connection Program
A live coaching experience with practice sessions designed to help you handle everyday parenting challenges with more confidence while building a stronger, more trusting relationship with your child.
Over 12 weeks, I’ll guide you through strengths-based coaching, practical mental fitness exercises, and activities that help bring more laughter, cooperation, and genuine connection into your everyday family life.
We’ll begin by working on your own reactions and parenting patterns. Then we’ll bring your child into the experience, so you can practice communicating, understanding each other, and working through challenges together.
- Next group starts Thursday, December 3
- 6 parent coaching sessions + 6 guided family sessions
- Limited to 10 families only
“I love your gentle approach towards moving forward to foster a deeper and powerful connection between a mother and daughter. I gained new perspectives on our relationship, and I followed up with your suggestions for fun activities with her.”

Meet Your Coach, Elvie DiBrigit
Parenting Coach | Waldorf Educator | 20+ Years Working With Children and Families | Mother of Three
Hi, I’m Coach Elvie,
I’ve spent more than two decades working with children and parents, bringing together Waldorf education, homeschool coaching, strengths-based approaches, and Positive Intelligence practices.
And as a mother of three, I know firsthand that even with all the parenting knowledge in the world, those everyday challenges can still test your patience!
Through the Strengths & Connection Method I use in my coaching, I’ve had the joy of helping parents understand their own patterns, see their children in a new light, and find different ways to communicate and connect.
Some of the most rewarding moments in my work have been seeing families begin to rebuild the closeness they thought they were losing.
That’s why I created the Family Strengths and Connection Program.
I wanted to bring this work to more families, giving parents the guidance and support to practice these skills in everyday life, while helping their children learn and grow alongside them.
My hope is that more parents and children can build relationships filled with trust, understanding, and genuine connection.
The kind that grows stronger through the years, so that even as children become more independent, they still feel comfortable turning to their parents for love, support, and guidance.
Thank you so much for talking with me last night. You said some really important things that have helped me to think more clearly and I’m so grateful. I’m doing the technique you demonstrated and I feel like I’m reconnecting with myself on a deeper level. Thank you so much for your time and wisdom!
“I am finding the program to be a wonderful opportunity to explore my inner voices and to see what patterns I have developed over the years. This is helping me see how I tend to react to situations that occur and is helping me take a breath and then figure out how I want to respond to the situation. I really like the exercises that help me bring mindfulness to my day and I like that they don’t need to take up a lot of time and I can do them while there’s a lot going on. It’s helping me feel more clear headed and thoughtful. Thanks so much Elvira for offering this to us. I feel like the tools I’m developing will help me in my life moving forward.”
Your twelve weeks journey.
Weeks 1- 6: We begin with you
Before bringing your child into the process, we’ll focus on helping you understand your own reactions, recognize what’s happening in your family, and develop practical skills to handle those difficult moments differently.
Week 1: Understanding what’s really happening at home
We’ll look at the disagreements that keep repeating, uncover your family’s strengths, and identify the automatic thought patterns, called Saboteurs, that may be keeping you stuck.
Week 2: Recognizing your own reactions
Ever wonder why certain things your child says can upset you so quickly? We’ll explore those reactions and practice noticing your child’s strengths instead of focusing only on what needs fixing.
Week 3: Learning to pause before you react
We’ll work on recognizing your strongest Saboteur before it takes over, anticipating difficult moments, and practicing simple mental fitness exercises to help you choose a different response.
Week 4: Finding a calmer way to respond
We’ll explore another of your familiar patterns and practice shifting toward what we call your Sage, the calmer, wiser part of you that can approach challenges with greater understanding and clarity.
Week 5: Putting your new skills into everyday life
How are things going at home? What’s getting easier, and what’s still challenging? We’ll reflect on real parenting situations and practice applying what you’ve learned when things don’t go as planned.
Week 6: Preparing to bring your child into the process
Worried your child won’t want to participate? We’ll work on how to invite them into the family sessions in a way that feels welcoming, rather than like another rule or demand.
Weeks 7-12: Now we practice together as a family
This is where your child begins participating, with activities and conversations designed to help you understand each other better, work through challenges, and enjoy connecting as a family.
Week 7: Your first family connection meeting
We’ll begin with a guided Family Hui, a family gathering where everyone gets a chance to share, listen, and explore what’s important to them. Think more laughter and discovery, less lectures.
Week 8: Learning to solve problems together
Through creative games and activities, you’ll practice approaching familiar family challenges as a team, finding solutions together instead of getting caught in another power struggle.
Week 9: Understanding the feelings behind the behavior
Using family empathy stories, we’ll practice talking about feelings and needs, helping everyone better understand what’s happening beneath the frustration, silence, or disagreement.
Week 10: Recognizing each other’s patterns
Through a playful Saboteur guessing game, family members will learn to recognize those familiar reactions in themselves and each other, with more curiosity and a little humor instead of blame.
Week 11: Learning to ask for what you need
We’ll introduce support pairs and practice expressing needs, listening, and supporting one another, especially during moments when it would usually be easier to argue or shut down.
Week 12: Building connection that lasts
We’ll bring everything together and help your family create a simple weekly practice you can continue at home, so the communication, understanding, and connection you’ve been building can keep growing long after our sessions end.
Plus, All the tools and resources you need to Keep practicing between sessions
Positive Intelligence App and Daily Practices: Approximately 10 minutes a day to build the mental fitness skills that help you recognize and change familiar reactions.

“I knew my daughter was wanting something more from me energetically, but I wasn’t sure what more I could do. We were at a bit of a wall. Through the focus on strengths and connected communication, I was able to give her constructive, focused energy that she could feel was deeper than before. She has responded by being more willing to take initiative in helping, willing to try harder. She even made me dinner the other night when I was feeling low.”
Mariah MannI really appreciated the format of the course and the topics you brought up. For me it’s been really helpful to just set aside some time with this class, to think about our kids and what they are gonna be going through and how we can best support them.
Cathy SuematsuI really appreciate how you’ve structured this course, and I keep thinking how helpful it would have been to have this information a year or two ago, before my children hit the teen years. We’ve been seeing a counselor, and they are also sharing similar information about social and brain development.

I noticed a transformation in myself as well as in my husband, and that has made a big difference in our household!

The changes in our household have brought about a greater sense of peace and that is priceless. I am so grateful to Elvira for bringing this program forward.

A Safe Place to Work on the Messy Parts of Parenting
Perhaps you’re wondering what it will feel like to talk openly about your parenting challenges.
Will everyone else seem to have things figured out?
Will you be judged for losing your patience or making mistakes?
I know how personal those moments can feel.
I want you to feel comfortable bringing all of that into our work together.
You’ll have a supportive space to ask questions, share your experiences, and learn without feeling you have to pretend everything is perfect.
And your child won’t be treated like a problem that needs fixing.
We’ll take time to understand what’s happening on both sides of the relationship and practice new ways to communicate, handle disagreements, and reconnect.
Because you deserve a place where you can be honest about the hard parts of parenting, feel truly supported…
And walk away knowing you have someone beside you as you figure things out.”

- You feel more confident about guiding your child through the years when they’re becoming increasingly independent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child refuses to join the family sessions?
That’s one of the biggest reasons I’ve structured the program this way. The first six weeks focus entirely on you.
We’ll work on your skills, reactions, and parenting approach before inviting your child into the process.
In week six, I’ll help you find the right words and approach to invite your child into the family sessions, making it easier for them to feel comfortable, interested, and willing to join.
How is this different from other parenting courses?
Most parenting courses give you information to learn and apply on your own.
Here, you’ll have live coaching, practical exercises, guidance between sessions, and opportunities to practice as a family.
We’re working on what happens in your actual home, not just what sounds good in a lesson.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Attend your first two coaching sessions and work through the first 2 weeks of the Positive Intelligence App practices.
If you decide the program isn’t the right fit, you can request a full refund by the end of the 14-day guarantee period, provided you’ve met those requirements.
What if I have more than one child?
Of course! This program isn’t just for families with one child. You’ll learn practical ways to connect with each of your children, understand their unique strengths and personalities, and create more cooperation, understanding, and enjoyable moments as a family.
What happens when I book a call?
You’ll choose a convenient time for a free 20-minute conversation.
We’ll talk about what’s happening in your family, what you’d like to change, and whether this program would be a good fit.
If it is, we’ll explain how to enroll using your special masterclass invitation.
What if things aren’t that bad at home?
You don’t need to wait until your relationship becomes difficult.
Some parents want to rebuild connection.
Others want to protect the closeness they already enjoy as their child grows. Both are wonderful reasons to begin.
How much time will I need?
You’ll have one scheduled coaching session per week, along with approximately ten minutes of daily mental fitness practice.
Sessions last for 60 to 75 minutes.
Can I join without my partner?
Absolutely. You can begin this work on your own.
If you’re parenting with a partner, there’s an opportunity for a second parent to participate as well.
Is this therapy?
No. This is a coaching and skills-practice experience designed to support everyday parenting, communication, and family connection.
It doesn’t replace therapeutic care for families who need specialized mental health support.
One Day, Your Child Will Have a Life Beyond Your Home.
They’ll have their own friends, challenges, decisions, and experiences.
And you won’t always know what’s happening in their world.
But imagine knowing that as your child grows, becomes more independent, and discovers their own path...
You’re still someone they love spending time with, sharing their world with, and turning to for advice, laughter, and connection.
This is the relationship I have now with my college freshman, and it’s the kind of relationship I want to help you build.
And it begins with all those little moments happening in your home right now.
Every conversation, disagreement you work through, and moment of laughter you share helps create a foundation of trust and connection that can last for years to come.
There are still so many beautiful memories ahead of you and your child, and I’d love to help you make the most of them.
