Hi, I'm Dr. David A Palmer -
Your Nervous System Parenting Coach
For years, I watched parents burn out trying advice that was never designed for their child. I saw the same frustration in their eyes that I once felt myself—when every day felt like a battle.
Then I discovered the truth the parenting books ignore: You can't punish or reward a nervous system issue. You have to heal it.
When I started with that simple truth, the breakthroughs came. My credentials—a Doctorate in Special Education, 30 years as an educational leader, and specialization in neurodivergence and trauma—are the foundation. But my passion is giving you the tools that finally work for YOUR child's unique nervous system.
