What works
Behavior is communication. Let's learn what it's saying.

You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support.

For anyone who loves
a child and wants to understand them

Grounded Kids Co. starts with parents — and extends to every adult in a child's life.

🌸

Parents & Caregivers

You know your child better than anyone. Our tools help you understand what's driving behavior and respond in ways that actually work — without guilt, without guesswork.

🌿

Teachers & School Staff

Classroom behavior can derail the whole room. We offer practical strategies rooted in applied behavior analysis that are realistic for real classrooms.

☀️

Support Professionals

Therapists, paraprofessionals, childcare providers — you need tools that work across settings, for all kids, not just those with formal diagnoses.

Every child deserves to feel
like they belong

Too many families are told to wait — wait for a diagnosis, wait for services, wait for help. We believe behavioral support should be accessible long before that. Every child showing hard behavior is a child communicating a need.

"Behavior is not the problem. It is the solution the child has found. Our job is to help them find a better one."

Founder, Grounded Kids Co.

BCBA · Board Certified Doctoral Candidate, School Psychology Mom of Three

Made by a BCBA
who is also a mom

I'm Nicole — a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, doctoral candidate in school psychology, and mom of three real, wonderful, challenging kids. I built Grounded Kids Co. because I kept seeing the same thing: families who needed behavioral support couldn't access it, and the resources that existed felt clinical and cold.

I believe behavior science should feel warm, relational, and belonging-focused. Every strategy I share is something I would — and do — use with my own children. Real strategies, for real families, built on real evidence.
