Most parenting strategies assume kids are motivated by authority and consequences. But PDAers operate differently. Learn exactly why conventional approaches increase stress and resistance—and what's really going on beneath the surface.
Reframe Your Beliefs About Behavior & Respect
What if 'respect' didn't mean obedience? What if 'discipline' meant connection instead of punishment? Explore a completely new framework for understanding motivation, compliance, and what collaboration really looks like with your PDAer.

Meet Keri Schouten
Keri Schouten isn't just a parenting coach, she's lived the PDA experience herself. As an AuDHD-PDAer with 25 years of passion for respectful, collaborative, and playful approaches to working with children, Keri brings both personal insight and professional expertise to every conversation. She's worked as an EEC certified lead teacher in therapeutic school settings, supporting many young PDAers through their most challenging moments. Now, working in the Metrowest Boston area, she specializes in PDA-specific parent coaching and respite care for families with children ages 3-9. But what really sets Keri apart? She gets it. She understands PDA from the inside out—the nervous system dysregulation, the need for autonomy, the way traditional approaches can feel suffocating. That's why her coaching is different. She doesn't just teach strategies; she teaches you how to truly see and support your PDAer in a way that honors who they are. When you work with Keri, you're getting guidance from someone who has walked the same path and come out the other side with compassion, clarity, and practical solutions.
