Karen Bierdeman, M.Ed, has worked with families and children for over 16 years. Her expertise in Childhood Behavior Disorders, makes her an effective advocate for children whose behavior is "more"--more intense, more persistent, more energetic and overall more challenging. She also knows first-hand how difficult it can be to be the parent of a strong-willed child!

As a parenting coach, Karen specializes in working with moms whose children are strong-willed and "spirited." She is in high demand as a speaker, and she delights in giving talks on how to help strong-willed children thrive in a world that doesn't know what to do with them.
