SIGN UP for free Dad's Raising Neurodivergent Kids Discussion Group

Tuesday, January 28th 6PM PST | FREE via Zoom

Hello

You're here, let's talk

Hey, I'm Mike, a parent coach for dads raising neurodivergent kids. I'm right there with you.

Daily Mutinies

Parenting hasn’t turned out the way you envisioned. Your home isn’t the peaceful haven you’d hoped for. When your kids don’t listen, you fall back on what you know—raising your voice. And when that doesn’t work, the cycle of frustration and guilt begins again.

I know this because I’ve lived it. I’m a starter parent, too. This is my first go at it—and it’s hard. There’s no handbook, and I’ve learned the hard way that what got us here won’t get us there. I’ve faced challenges like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing issues, dyslexia, and even childhood cancer. Parenting a neurodivergent, sensory-processing child through two years of chemo wasn’t in the playbook. Yet, we survived, and through those struggles, I found a way forward. I want to share that with other dads.

Not alone

Other dads like you

You’re here because you care deeply about being the best father you can be. You’ve been trying everything—reading books, listening to advice, applying techniques—but nothing seems to work. Your parenting toolkit feels empty, and the harder you try, the more frustrated and isolated you feel.

Parenting a neurodiverse child is a journey unlike any other. It’s filled with love but also with challenges that can leave you feeling defeated. The chaos at home, shrinking social circle, and the fear for your child’s future—it’s overwhelming. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this alone.

The techniques you were raised with, and even the ones you’ve tried to learn, aren’t cutting it.

Dads need a different set of tools and a community to help them.

How a parent coach can help

I offer more than advice—I provide a partnership. Together, we’ll:

  • Replace Overwhelm with Clarity: Understand your child’s behavior and your own reactions.

  • Build Confidence: Develop parenting strategies that work for your unique family.

  • Foster Connection: Create stronger bonds with your child and restore harmony in your home.

  • Shift Your Mindset: Move from frustration to growth and empowerment.

  • Navigate Life’s Challenges: From school IEP meetings to social interactions, gain tools for every step of the journey.

I won’t offer quick fixes because there aren’t any. What I provide is a framework for continuous learning and connection. A roadmap to help you lead your family with calm, confidence, and care.

The Parent-Dad-Coach Journey

A simple framework to help dads on the frontlines of parenting

I started this journey because I didn’t see support for dads like me.

We’re often expected to have all the answers, but parenting a neurodiverse child isn’t something you can wing. It’s humbling, challenging, and deeply rewarding when you have the right tools and a community of support.

This isn’t just about parenting—it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. The Parent-Dad-Coach Journey is your path to transforming frustration into connection, confusion into clarity, and fear into empowerment.

  • Help your kids thrive and create a great life
  • Find patience as a parent you didn't know you had
  • Build resilience to get through challenging times
  • Shift your thinking and improve your outlook

 

Find the right support

You’ve already started this journey by exploring what else might be out there to help you be a great dad.

That’s a huge first step, and it’s one you should be proud of. But you don’t have to walk this path alone.

Here are a few ways to stay connected:

  • Schedule a free 30-minute call to explore your goals and see how I can support you. Together, we can build the tools you need to create a more peaceful, connected, and fulfilling family life.
  • Join Our Facebook Group–"I was a much better parent before I had kids". It's open to all parents. If Facebook isn't your thing, we have a newsletter.
  • Sign up for my actionable, no-BS parenting newsletter. Delivered fresh to your inbox, it’s packed with insights, tips, and encouragement to help you navigate the challenges of raising a neurodiverse child.
