Raising PDAers with Less Fear, More Connection, and a Calm(er) Nervous System
PDA Parent Guided Course & Coaching Series
A coached, PDA-informed experience using
Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors: A Parent Course
by Robyn Gobbel
This is not a self-paced course you complete on your own.
This is a supported parent education experience, where learning and coaching happen together.
Parenting a child with intense emotional needs, demand avoidance, or nervous-system overwhelm can feel isolating and exhausting. Traditional strategies don’t work, and constant crisis mode can leave you feeling stuck, unheard, and drained.
What This Series Will Help You Do
This isn’t about behavior charts or quick fixes.
This is about getting real, doable, reliable support that helps you:
feel safer in your nervous system,
understand what’s underneath the behavior,
respond with confidence even in hard moments,
and build a calmer, more connected home.
How The Course + Coaching Work Together
The educational material from
Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors: A Parent Course
is the foundation of this experience.
The coaching sessions are not separate from the course - they are where the course comes to life.
You will engage with the course material between coaching sessions, at a pace that fits your family’s capacity.
The learning is intentionally spaced so that concepts can be processed, practiced, and then discussed during coaching.
Unlike ongoing 1:1 coaching, this series provides a guided pathway through a structured parent course, with coaching sessions specifically designed to help you understand and apply the material in the context of your unique family.
Each coaching session is designed to:
• reflect on the course material you are engaging with
• apply it to your child’s nervous system and behavior patterns
• adapt strategies specifically for PDA profiles
• support you in real-time decision making within your family
Individual Coaching Sessions
Your individual coaching sessions are a space to:
• ask questions about the course content
• explore how the concepts show up in your household
• problem-solve current challenges using a PDA-informed lens
• adjust expectations and strategies based on your child’s stress and capacity
Group Learning & Support Calls
Group sessions are used to:
• deepen understanding of the course themes
• hear how other parents are applying the material
• normalize common struggles
• build connection - without pressure to share more than you want
This Program Is For You If Your Child…
Is PDA / demand-avoidant
Is neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, gifted, sensory differences)
Comes from trauma, stress, adoption, or foster care
Struggles with big emotions or shutdowns
Has a vulnerable or easily overwhelmed nervous system
And for parents who feel:
“Behavior charts don’t work.”
“I want to see who my child really is underneath their fear.”
“I’m willing to do my own regulation work.”
This Program Might Not Be a Fit If You’re…
Looking for consequence-based parenting
Wanting quick fixes
Not open to nervous-system explanations for behavior
Parenting a child with ongoing dangerous behaviors needing a higher level of care
What You’ll Learn
Section 1: Become the Expert
You’ll learn the neuroscience of behavior and why your child does what they do - even when it doesn’t make sense. This reframing becomes your most powerful parenting tool!
Section 2: Brain, Body & Sensory Tools
Section 3: Why Knowing Isn’t Enough
Your toolbox grows with strategies that strengthen your child’s nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and support resilience - plus how to choose the right tool for the moment.
Skills matter only if you can access them in hard moments. This section grows your capacity to stay grounded and regulated while supporting your child.
Course Structure & What to Expect
The PDA Parent Support Package is a flexible, personalized support plan designed especially for parents of PDA autistic and neurodivergent children - built around your real life and your unique family needs.
Instead of a rigid weekly schedule, we center choice, safety, and autonomy in how you engage. This means you don’t have to show up at the same time every week just to keep up - you access support in ways that actually work for your nervous system.
Here’s what you get:
1) Full Access to On-Demand Education
• A library of video lessons and tools that explain why behavior happens and what genuinely supports nervous system regulation.
• Watch at your pace - in the moments that work for you.
2) Six Individual Coaching Sessions (45 min each)
• Real support in the moments that matter for your family.
• Schedule these 1:1 sessions on your timeline - between February 1st and May 31st, 2026
We focus on your child, your family, and your priorities - within your schedule.
3) Two Optional Live, Small Group Support Calls
• Small, supportive group calls to share, learn, and ask questions.
• Dates/times chosen after enrollment based on what works for everyone - not imposed on you.
