Hey Exhausted Momma Friend,

I see you & I get it. You desperately want a loving Christian home, but your kid is just not having it. You don't know if you can face another day of stress, chaos & meltdowns. 

Sound familiar?  You’re exhausted, confused, beat up, and defeated.  You can barely get out of bed because you are living in a warzone.

Living in isolation, shame & humiliation? You stay home because taking your child out in public is a nightmare... the judgmental stares from the nosey onlookers in the store... the unsolicited advice from friends and family... it's too much.

Are you wrestling with the traditional parenting paradigm?  You want to honor God in your parenting, but everything you have believed about being a good Christian mom is failing.

Enough of this already.

What if it didn’t have to be this way?  Imagine breaking free of the life-sucking cycle of chaos.

  • By understanding God's design of the brain and how to equip your child what they need to self-regulate well, you will help your child (and your family) flourish for the longterm.

What Rachel Coley, MS, OTR-L of Can Do Kiddo has to say...

He stopped sleeping & began to scream all the time.

He kicked, bit, hit, scratched, destroyed property… EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

He intentionally ran into the street BECAUSE he saw an oncoming car.  

Nothing I knew to do as a "good Christian momma" worked.  I felt like a failure as a mother.

But, after being completely humbled, broken, and desperate for years, God slowly & radically transformed my life in every way.  

Today, my boy is thriving.  We live in greater freedom now because of all that God has taught me. 

I created Barely Surviving to Outright Thriving for moms and their kids who are struggling like we were.

What Jennifer has to say...

"This course is so life-giving! Thank you so much! I would never be able to make it without you. I just finished the judgment module. I am literally bawling and I cannot stop. She (my 14 yo daughter) talked with me for two hours last night. I got my sweet girl back.

Thank you for talking me off the ledge… We are already seeing fruit as we slowly change how we parent.

Thank you so much for walking with us… I am very thankful for you entering my life at just the right time. The course is fantastic information and it helps so much to know I am not alone."

We tap into one of your most powerful parenting tools… your ability to influence your child for good through relationship.

Honestly, why would you even want to listen to me?

I'm Lindsay Leiviska and I’m the founder of A Heart For All Students.  I'm a parenting and homeschool coach for moms.

Twenty years ago, I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching & have spent more than 20 years working with kids in a variety of capacities.

However, NONE of my qualifications can compare to the last 6 years...

The adoption of my son shattered every belief I had about being a good mom.

It was 4 years of H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks with my boy...

His tantrums, meltdowns, dangerous behaviors & screams occurred every waking moment of our lives.  (Which was ALWAYS because he never slept.)

I could not go anywhere with him for fear of what he would do.  I was... Stressed, stretched, angry, isolated, depressed and hopeless.

What Erica says, 

“This course has been life-changing!  What you’ve taught me about God’s design of the brain has helped me tremendously in understanding where my kids are coming from!  Thank you!  I personally can’t get enough of the ‘focus on relationships’ parts.  I have noticed such a shift in my parenting style lately.  Less on rules and keeping the schedule and more on relationships.  I feel so much freedom to be ok when plans change and things don’t get done my way.  My son is thriving in ways I never would have expected!  Thank you so much!” 

-Erica, Mom of 2, ADHD & Sensory Processing Issues

Fast Forward A Few Years

God has done a work in me & my son.  I know He is working that same thing for you and your family. 

Be encouraged, Friend. 

You are a momma doing the best you can to fight for your child in a broken world.  

God doesn’t expect you to control your child. 

When our kids don’t respond to traditional parenting and discipline strategies, it's time to shift the lens and parent the child we have. 

There is a better, life-giving Gospel-based way to raise our outside-the-box kids.  

That's why I have created Barely Surviving to Outright Thriving... to support you and your dearly loved child of God.
