Become the Confident Parent your kids Crave You to Be + Learn Parenting Strategies for Epic Transformation in your toddler, child or teens behavior + Parenting Resources from infants to teens + Resources for YOU the parent to become the confident leader you are meant to be + Turn behavior problems into No-Problem + Strengthen your relationship with your kids + Improve the Trust and Respect between Parent and Child! Hey Parents! I’m Jaci Finneman, Parent Strategist and Coach. And, after 30 years and over 40,000 hours of experience working with children and families; ranging from the severe behaviors that required out-of-home placement to the ”she just doesn’t listen to me” behaviors - there IS a solution. Join me on this journey of behavioral strategies so that you can feel empowered as a parent again and reclaim your family’s peace! I will help YOU respond to your kid’s misbehavior without yelling at your kids and without feeling like you have to give in to their demands to keep the peace. I’ll teach you how to discover the root cause of your child’s behavior so that you understand why your kiddo is behaving the way they are and why you are responding to them the way you are (with anger or worry or guilt), then, I’ll teach you how to prepare for ”the worst”. It is true that we can’t possibly be prepared for every behavior challenge that comes our way BUT there are plenty of behaviors our kids display every day that we can prepare for and then respond to them instead of reacting. And finally, I teach you how to change the conversation with your kids so that your kids trust you, they learn they truly can come to you for encouragement, advice, direction or support as they grow up. Your kids will learn that you won’t rescue them from their problems, instead, they know and believe that you will guide them in dealing with and overcoming their challenges, whether the challenge is a mental health diagnosis, learning disability, health issue, or a common developmental stage your kiddo is going through. No-Problem Parenting teaches and supports you in Becoming the Confident Leader your kids crave you to be! Hugs and High Fives Parents! You Got This! No-Problem!

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!
GiGi is a smart, witty, fun, beautiful and independent 11 1/2 year old girl who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in Nov 2022. This came as a big surprise as there is no histroy of Type 1 Diabetes in her family.
GiGi's mom Jessica wrote;
On Nov 7, 2022 our lives changed forever.
At a normal well-child check, a few days after our daughter had the flu, I told our pediatrician that I wanted my daughter to have her blood tested due to the fact that she was always thirsty, never full and losing weight.
Little did I know that request would save her life. A few hours later, I received a late evening call from our pediatrician stating that our daughter had Type 1 diabetes. I told her she needed to run the tests again and that it had to be wrong because no one on either side of the family had Type 1 diabetes.
After explaining that her A1C level was >15 (the chart doesn't go any higher), her glucose level was 535 and a plethora of other scary results, we rushed our daughter to Children’s hospital. Scared. Uncertain. And full of questions.The next few days were a whirlwind.
We were surrounded by the most amazing care team we could ask for at Children’s, but our heads were spinning with information overload.
All my brain processed was high levels will kill her, low levels will kill her. Control is a science and an art.......with no guarantees.
Like many, I had no idea what the difference was between Type 1 diabetes and Type 2. Type 2 can often be controlled with diet and lifestyle. But when you have T1 diabetes (T1D), your body stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy.
Managing the disease is a constant struggle that involves continuously monitoring your blood-sugar level via finger pricks and/or CGM devices, administering insulin before eating any meal, snack, treat, carefully balancing doses with eating and activity and for us it also involves a different insulin type to be administered before bedtime.
Even with a strict regimen, people with T1D may still experience dangerously high or low blood-glucose levels that can, in extreme cases, be life threatening.
With T1D there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope. We know God won’t put more on us (and our daughter) than we/she can handle. As challenging as this disease is, we try to focus on the positive and try to figure out a way to make light in the battle.
We believe everything happens for a reason and I’m quite certain our daughter is going to make a positive impact in a big way toward raising awareness and finding a cure in her lifetime.
That’s why we started GiGi’s Team and why we are participating in the 2023 JRDF One Walk Twin Cities event this year.
We want to raise awareness, raise support and raise funds to find a cure.We hope you will join our team or donate to our fundraising goal! Your support is greatly appreciated!
Type 1 Diabetes Signs to watch for: Hungry all the time including shortly after eating a full meal, thirsty/drinking lots of water, craving sugar, fatigue, going to the bathroom a lot, wetting the bed with no previous history of bed wetting problems, losing weight for no apparent reason, blurry vision.
