The Everything Anxiety Course
meet Dr. Siggie
Hi, Iβm Dr. Siggie. Iβm a child development specialist and parenting expert with a deep understanding of childrenβs emotional and behavioral worlds.
For over 35 years, Iβve worked with thousands of families – as a preschool teacher, professor, and child development specialist – helping parents navigate challenges with more clarity, confidence, and connection.
Today, I also support a global community of over 2.3 million parents across social media who turn to me for grounded, practical, and compassionate guidance. As a mother of three grown sons, I understand that parenting isnβt just theory; itβs messy, emotional, exhausting, and deeply meaningful work.
The EBP Method
Over my extensive career, I have seen how the parenting pendulum has swung from overly strict to overly permissive. My method is founded in bringing balance back to parenting.
You hear your child, validate and acknowledge them, connect to them. And still, YOU are the parent. You are in charge as the grounded leader they need, making decisions confidently because you trust yourself and know what to do.
Many parenting tactics focus on changing behaviors alone. This is incomplete. Using my method, you will learn to understand and respond to BOTH your child’s emotions and behaviors, resulting in more cooperation, more connection, less guilt and less stress.
Parenting is never easy. But it CAN feel less overwhelming and more rewarding.
