Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator With 12+ Years in School Counseling & Education

My passion for sparking empathy began as a professional school counselor. Here, I learned firsthand the importance of building trusting connections while children are young.
I draw from my training & experience as a certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, former Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports coach, and fellow parent…who’s no stranger to feeling tired and frustrated some days!

Join your fellow parents who have become masters of meltdowns! Such a Little While’s best-selling Tantrum Response Plan will equip you with an effective, easy-to-follow 4-step framework for responding to challenging behavior.
Tana provides a unique perspective on parenting that I have found to be truly effective. She helps me see situations from my toddler's perspective so I can understand the 'why' behind their behavior... From potty training to getting my kids dressed to dinnertime, I have been able to overcome or avoid many meltdowns/ tantrums/ battles by implementing the advice and techniques from Such a Little While.
Julia, Mom of 3
As a mother of two very independent and strong-willed children, I started my quest for becoming a conscious parent just over a year ago. I came across Such A Little While at the beginning of my journey and felt that Tana was describing exactly what I was trying to accomplish with my children but was struggling to find the validation. Learning more about gentle parenting and understanding the psychology behind toddler behaviour has really helped me to manage my expectations and the daily outbursts with my toddler. I highly recommend utilizing the resources on this site to any new parent.
