I help parents find more calm and peace at home in this modern, demanding and hectic world.
I help parents cultivate self regulation by showing them how to move away from yelling and threats and into more connection.

I've been parenting this way for 15 years, but things didn’t start out so 'connected'. I used threats and bribes and I yelled (a lot). But when things seemed out of control with my daughters, I decided that a change needed to happen. Luckily, I found Connected Parenting, and since then, I haven't used a threat or bribe since... well, almost haven’t!
Since then, I've dedicated my life’s work to helping others find new ways to “be” parents, new ways to respond to hard moments, and to promote connection and let go of control-based parenting.
I've been working with children and families who are going through the same for almost three decades (and been a mom myself for 20 years). I've helped hundreds of parents transform the ways in which they view parenting and children, and taught them how to make actual sustainable changes at home.

Listen to other parents find guidance, compassion, and practical tools to build deeper connections with their kids.
Hosted by me, Michelle Kenney, we explore the challenges and joys of parenting through the lens of connection over control—helping you navigate tantrums, power struggles, and big emotions with empathy and confidence.
Each episode offers heartfelt conversations, expert insights, and real-life stories to support you in creating a more peaceful, cooperative home.
