2. Deepen your connection with your child through empathy and support.

3. Create family harmony using influence, not control.

Ally Parenting in Action

Listen to excerpts from my presentation at the Mountain View library titled Encouraging Responsibility. It’s key to connect emotionally to children in order to influence them and encourage greater responsibility with an approach such as the After-Then Strategy.

The Emotional Support Process

Mastering the Emotional Support Process will help to create deep connections with your children. When you know how to listen and support in a way that feels real to your children, they will always come to you during difficult times. This allows you to become their anchor in life as you teach them how to be resilient and resourceful adults.

Empathetic Phrases

When children are upset, they will continue expressing their views when you respond with specially formatted empathetic phrases. These are not phrases stating that you understand. The goal of your responses is only for your child to feel safe and accepted so they can release the tensions in their limbic system, which results in thinking clearly and solving problems.

After-Then Strategy

The After-Then, or Work before Play, Strategy is one of the most effective for directing children to start or stop what they are doing. Once you have learned what an empathetic phrase is, you can add this additional step to effectively direct your child to follow a limit or rule up through the teen years.

What People Are Saying About Cynthia...

Cynthia Klein did an amazing job at Baywood Elementary school. She kept the audience engaged and involved. Parents walked out with a handful of tools they can apply in their homes and their lives.

Sonia Paz
Parent Education Coordinator at Baywood Elementary School

Cynthia presented a workshop to parents and community members at our high school on best practices in communicating with teens. The parent feedback that the school received was extremely positive. I highly recommend Cynthia!

Shannon LeCompte, Dean of Students
Mercy High School

Cynthia helped me to see my patterns of communication with my adult daughter. I went from having no clue as to “what went wrong?” to understanding my daughter’s side of our relationship. I’m happy that I found her now, and I think she can really help heal families where the bonds have been strained.

Julia Powers

Your training for parents at the Sunnyvale Library was great! Parents certainly had a lot of takeaways, found the workshop meaningful for their situation and gave the workshop fantastic ratings.

Alicia Sandoval Gilliam, MSW, LCSW
Youth and Family Resources Program Coordinator Sunnyvale Public Library

The communication advice you gave at the WEB, (Women Entrepreneurs of the Bay Area) talk was very helpful and I immediately applied it to my daily interactions with my daughter. The quality of our conversations has improved and she openly shares things with me without being requested to do so. You are changing how people communicate and are making them better listeners.
