Your Instructor
Hi There! I'm Dr. Becca Ballinger.
I'm a Child Psychologist and Modern Parenting Expert, but at heart, I'm just like you – a parent figuring it all out, one day at a time.
And yep, I’ve navigated the complexities of parenting as a divorced mom too. My own kids? They're out there making their mark as lawyers – one's a prosecutor and the other's in law school. I’m their biggest cheerleader, but let’s be real, their paths are all their own doing. I just gave them the space to follow their dreams.
But here’s the thing – I know parenting isn’t all about those big success stories. It's about the everyday moments, the challenges, and yes, sometimes the court-mandated courses that bring you here. Whether you're here by choice or requirement, I want you to know I get it. Parenting is tough, and we all need a little help sometimes.
In my practice, where I lead a fantastic team of therapists, we dedicate our days to supporting families. And every week, I share a slice of that on my podcast, 'Modern Parenting Solutions'. It's all about being real, raw, and honest – because that's what parenting is.
Raising happy, healthy, motivated, and moral kids? It's not just a dream, it's totally doable. And it doesn't require perfection – just intention and a little guidance. That’s where my online parenting classes come in. They're packed with strategies that are not only backed by science but also tempered with real-life experience. Yes, I've used these very strategies with my own kids, and I've seen them work wonders.
So, if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed or unsure about this whole parenting gig, especially if you're navigating co-parenting or fulfilling court requirements, I'm here to help. My classes are a safe space to learn, grow, and find practical solutions that fit your unique family. I want to empower you with tools that foster a close, positive bond with your child, making your parenting journey a little smoother and a lot more joyful.
Join me, and let’s turn those challenges into stepping stones for a happier, healthier family life. You're not just signing up for a course; you're joining a community of parents who are all in this together. Let's make parenting a journey to cherish, shall we?
