Hello, my friend!
I’m Ramona. I help parents do less and be more with their children.
My hope is to create a space where you will feel safe, seen, loved, and perfectly normal.
Parenting is supposed to be messy. And it’s supposed to be hard. It’s a time to evolve and change is never easy or pretty.
You may feel like your challenges are unique, but I can assure you there are millions of parents experiencing the same struggles as you. Right now. You are not alone!
It’s okay to feel the way you are feeling and there are things you can do to improve your parenting and deepen your connection with your child. The time is always right to become a more joyful, confident, and fulfilled parent.
I am a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator and a member of the Positive Discipline Association. I also trained with Dr. Laura Markham of Aha! Parenting to become a Peaceful Parenting Coach. I am a teacher, and most importantly, a mother of two amazing kids.
My goal is to support you on the path to finding a positive balance in your parenting, in which threats, punishments, shame, and guilt are replaced by connection, respect, and competence. I can help you better understand your child’s behavior and your own reactions, so you can bring your whole being into the most important relationship in your life.
Self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-care are at the heart of an authentic life and relationship with ourselves, our children, and the world.
We can do this together!
I envision a future where all children are free to blossom into their true selves, authentic relationships are ubiquitous, and compassion defines all humankind.
— Ramona Asztalos, Encouraging Discipline
So, if you want to learn the non-punitive, connection-based discipline tools that can transform your relationship with your kids, or just to feel like you are not the only one, then head over to the blog to read the articles on Parenting Mindset and Parenting Tools. For a more personal touch, you can read my Parenting Introspections, a collection of stories and reflections on my own parenting.
If you’ve been trying to parent peacefully but stopped getting traction and you’d like to feel more supported in your parenting, then Parent Coaching may be an option for you.

BACK TO PRESENCE
In my newsletter, I share vulnerable stories from my own parenting. The intention is to recognize our common experiences, normalize what parenting feels like, nourish our need for connection, and remind ourselves to come back to presence. From this state, we can love ourselves and our kids fully and unconditionally.
