If you’ve ever googled “am I messing up my kid?” you’re in the right place.
MEET YOUR PARENTING STRATEGIST
Parenting is hard. You don’t need to overhaul everything. You just need support that feels like you.
I’m Lizzie Assa. Parenting coach. Educator. Writer. Mom of three big kids who once were little and made me question everything I thought I knew.
I help other parents do it differently. Not perfectly. With more clarity. More connection. Less second-guessing.
I’m not here to tell you how to raise your kids. I’m here to help you feel better while you do it. The internet is loud. Parenting advice is all over the place. Your nervous system is already fried before the coffee kicks in. Let’s change that.

You’ve got kids under 12. Maybe two. Maybe three.
And you’re doing a lot.
You’re trying to raise capable kids. Trying to stay calm while someone’s yelling for a snack and stepping on your last nerve.
You care deeply. You want to do right by your kids. You read the parenting posts. You try to stay regulated. But you still lose it sometimes. You still feel unsure. You still wonder if this is just how it is—draining, noisy, and weirdly lonely even when someone is hanging on your leg. You need something steadier. Someone to help you quiet the outside noise and hear your own instincts again.
Here’s How I Can Help:

From play plans to quiet time routines, each guide is built to support real life with real kids.
