The Dooley Method, a compassionate approach to navigating clutter and parenting challenges
Feeling weighed down by the clutter in your home, especially since becoming a parent? Do the constant demands of life with kids leave you longing for more peace and connection? You're not alone.
Enter the Dooley Method™ – a heartfelt approach that blends the art of home organizing with the warmth of positive parenting. It's about more than just tidying up; it's about creating a nurturing environment where your family’s needs are met and where connections can thrive.
Instead of resorting to quick fixes or harsh discipline, the Dooley Method invites you to explore the deeper roots of clutter and parenting struggles to break the cycle from yelling, bribing or punishing to get results.
The Dooley Method helps families turn chaos to calm, and conflicts to connection
While numerous resources address home organization or parenting individually, few recognize their interconnectedness or provide techniques to seamlessly integrate them with your family values and goals.
Let me explain:
A child’s cooperation to clean up has everything to do with knowing they are still loved even if they fail.
A child’s willingness to help out is a direct result of feeling that their contribution is important and valued.
A child’s physical and mental development, temperament, personality, birth order, or even how tired or hungry they are in the moment, can impact how they respond to a simple household request.
Furthermore,
A parent who had experienced negative consequences related to doing chores as a child can’t help but be triggered when their children won’t cooperate.
A parent who is overwhelmed by clutter is less capable of staying present and patient with their children, leading to ongoing power struggles.
A parent who feels dysregulated is more likely to resort to punishment when their children’s mess gets out of control.
Through gentle, one-on-one coaching, Ann will walk alongside you, offering support and guidance as you cultivate sustainable systems and habits that foster harmony and joy in your home.
Disclaimer: The Dooley Method™ is not therapy. While coaching can complement therapy or precede it, it is not a substitute. Coaching calls serve as an educational resource for you as a parent, focusing on your parenting role. Ann's work includes teaching you and your children organization skills and developing routines; she does not provide treatment or diagnosis for your child.
