Hi.

I'm Barb.

The human behind Behaving Mindfully.

I'm a behavior analyst, parent coach, yoga teacher, and parent.

So yes, I know a lot about behavior.

And yes, I've also found myself repeating the same direction five times while wondering why nobody is listening.

Funny how that works.

I've spent years helping families figure out why things that seem like they should be simple—getting dressed, leaving the house, turning off a screen—can turn into a whole production.

And here's the thing.

Knowing a lot about behavior doesn't mean parenting is magically easy. It means I have some tools for figuring out what to do when it's not.

That's what I want to share with you.

Not a perfect parenting system. Not 37 things to remember before breakfast.

Just practical ways to understand what's happening, make a few changes, and hopefully get everyone out the door with their shoes on.

Most days, that's a pretty good win.
