Some things help. Some are a total disaster. Something that worked yesterday weirdly leads to a meltdown today.
Maybe you understand PDA better than you used to, but still find yourself wondering:
What do I actually say? Where do I start when it feels like everything needs changing? What about my other kids' needs? And what do I do when everyone is overwhelmed - including me?
You deserve support in figuring it out.
The PDA Parenting Lab helps you connect what you understand about your child with what you can do in everyday life.
Together, we’ll dive into how stress, autonomy, relationships, environments, and available capacity can shape what happens (and how that understanding guides your next small step)
You’ll find concrete examples, possible language, and small experiments to try. You’ll also have room to adapt them to your child, your voice, and your family’s circumstances.
The goal is to move toward:
“I understand my child well enough to make thoughtful decisions about what to try.”
Payment plans available!
I first taught the PDA Parenting Lab in 2024. Since then, I’ve continued learning through my work with families and my own experience parenting PDA kids.
This updated version includes six modules, more everyday examples, and more space for collaboration, repair, and navigating support beyond home.
Each module includes a small “Gentle Lab Work” invitation to help you put the ideas into practice.
READY FOR THE DETAILS?
Explore PDA, equalizing, threat responses, and capacity so you can get more curious about what might be happening underneath your kid's behavior.
Examine your own inherited expectations, rethink boundaries and rules, and make decisions that consider your actual kid and family.
Explore changes to relationships, communication, demands, and environments - with everyday examples involving food, sleep, medication, and screens.
Learn to notice early signs of escalation, adjust your response, prioritize safety, and support recovery (including when you’re struggling too.)
Help your kid understand themselves, participate in solving problems, and take part in repair with support. Practice making room for everyone’s needs.
Get clearer about what to share, which supports to request, and how to assess the fit of school, family interactions, and professional services.
When your kids have different needs, protecting everyone’s space, safety, and connection can take considerable support.

I'm a therapist of over 10 years, a late-diagnosed AuDHD mom and wife, and a lover of coffee and good books.
When I gave birth to my first kid in 2014, I was quickly baffled. Who let me parent this kid? Why did all of the things the parenting books suggested seem to make his behavior worse? I was definitely messing this all up...
It wasn't until our son received an autism diagnosis at age 7 and we stumbled across PDA that everything clicked into place. We were going about this all wrong. Rather than having behavior issues to be solved through rewards and consequences, he needed nervous system support and co-regulation.
I've been where you are! I saved myself... and you can, too.
Lindsay listened to our story and was able to empathize right away with what we’ve been through in trying to support our high-needs kids. Her compassion and solidarity have been a balm in a hard season. With Lindsay’s support, reframes, and practical ideas, my confidence in where we are as a family has changed, and to move forward, I really needed that.

When does the course begin?
All six modules become available October 19. Enrollment is open October 12–18.
Do I have to finish in six weeks?
Six weeks is the suggested pace. You can move more slowly or revisit material as you work through it. The guided coaching calls take place on the five dates listed above.
Do both options include the same teaching?
Yes. Both include the complete PPL 2.0 course and sibling course. The guided access option also includes five live group coaching calls.
Will you tell me exactly what to say and do?
You’ll get examples, language ideas, strategies, and practical starting points. We’ll also explore how to adapt them, because no script or accommodation works for every kid or every situation.
Is this therapy?
No. PPL is parent education, and the guided option includes group coaching. Obligatory: "I'm a therapist but not YOUR therapist!" ❤️
Can I use parent education funding?
If your family has access to parent education funding through a Medicaid waiver, check with your case manager about eligibility and approval requirements before purchasing. Don't hesitate to reach out to lindsay@hiveparents.com if you need additional course information or an invoice!
You don't have to have this all figured out, and you don't have to figure it out alone.
Let's work together to help you understand a little more, try something new, and notice what helps.
Enrollment closes October 18. The course opens October 19.
