It Starts With You

In It Starts With You, marriage and family therapist and parent coach Nicole Schwarz offers a nonjudgmental, shame-free guide to parenting children with a calm confidence. Working from a place of grace and compassion, she encourages us to explore how our history, thoughts, and assumptions impact our parenting decisions. Moving away from traditional discipline strategies, Schwarz focuses on the importance of having a calm brain, connected relationships, respectful conversations, and a coaching mindset with our kids.

It Starts with You: How Imperfect Parents Can Find Calm and Connection with Their Kids is available now.

A Letter From Nicole

In a world swirling with parenting advice, strategies, and promises, my goal for this book is to give you permission to be an imperfect parent to your imperfect child. "It Starts With You" acts as a guide, not a rule book, helping you look at your own story, tuning into your unique child, and finding a positive, respectful rhythm to your relationship.

I believe there is more to parenting than consequences, time outs and spankings. This book focuses on laying a strong foundation through meaningful connections, understanding brain development, embracing big feelings, and working through conflict together.

There is no judgment here. You do not have to have it all figured out, and you do not have to do anything perfectly to be a great parent. Learning and growing is a process, one with highs and lows, but always filled with compassion and grace, for yourself and for your kids.
