A Guide to Helping Parents Transform Feelings of Overwhelm, Guilt and Isolation to Feel More Grounded and Accepting of Themselves and Their Child
We get it — your time is limited, and your days are full. That’s why this training is built to fit around your real life, not add to your stress.
12 Hours of On-Demand Video Lessons
Watch when it works for you — during nap time, after bedtime, or in between the chaos. The videos are short, engaging, and easy to follow, so you can make progress even if you only have 20 minutes at a time.
No pressure, no deadlines — just support at your pace.
6 Hours of Live Sessions (Broken into Small Blocks)
Join a small group of fellow parents for live Zoom sessions where we connect, talk through real situations, and apply what you’ve learned. These sessions are interactive, supportive, and designed to work with your schedule.
You’ll show up to the live sessions already grounded in the key ideas — so we can focus on real conversations, not passive learning.

Parenting is not all it’s cracked up to be.
It's one of the hardest—and most important—jobs you’ll ever do. You read articles and try different techniques, attempting, striving to be that perfect parent. And when you come up short, you feel like a failure.
You may feel like you’ve lost control of your child, of yourself, and spend most of your time feeling lost, burdened, confused, and conflicted. You want to be a patient, compassionate, and attuned caregiver, but are struggling to get there.
You are not alone.
Over three live, interactive sessions, you’ll join other parents in a supportive virtual space where we’ll tackle the struggles that so often leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and then lead to feelings of shame and guilt.
Together, we’ll explore:
Helping Kids Face Worries with Resilience – Learn how to respond to fears in ways that actually calm anxiety and strengthen confidence.
Navigating Sibling Rivalry – Understand what’s really driving the conflict and how to create more peace, connection, and belonging at home.
Breaking the Guilt & Resentment Cycle – Let go of the pressure to be “perfect” and find a healthier balance that works for both you and your child.
Healing Parent Guilt Around Attachment – Stop carrying the weight of the past and discover how to show up for your child with compassion today.
Through live teaching, practical strategies, guided reflection, and Q&A with Dafna, you’ll walk away with tools you can use right away—and the reassurance that you are enough.
This isn’t about being a perfect parent. It’s about being a present one.
I’m Dafna Lender, and I’m a family therapy expert and attachment specialist as well as an international trainer and supervisor for practitioners who work with children and families.
I specialize in treating children and their parents, including those with ADHD, anxiety, learning disabilities, behavior outbursts, as well as those exposed to chronic mental illness, attachment wounds, and other forms of trauma.
From all this experience, I know how difficult it is to parent in these modern times, especially when your child(ren) has needs and challenges outside of your knowledge and experience.
12 hours of powerful, concrete guidance and advice about transforming your parenting journey and relationship with your child, and 6 hours of dynamic conversation, examples, and Q&A about important topics.
