Wondering if this is really for you

and if it’ll actually make a difference?

LET ME GUESS, YOU’VE TRIED…

setting up rigid routines, chore charts, behavior trackers…
reading parenting books late nights hoping something finally clicks…
watching endless Instagram reels on “gentle parenting” while silently screaming inside…
even bribing, begging, yelling, or walking out of the room just to survive a meltdown.

AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE…

you feel like your child only listens when you lose your cool.
your child's mood sets the tone of the day
you’ve googled “Am I a bad parent?” more times than you’d admit.
you just don't know how to replace screens

BUT HERE’S WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU:

Parenting isn’t about fixing your child.
It’s about learning the skills no one ever taught us…
To stay calm when they can’t.
To respond instead of react.
To guide instead of control.

And THAT’S exactly what the Pier Parent Bootcamp is built for.

8 Weeks. One Challenge. Big Shift.

Parenting isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about building strong foundations that support lasting emotional and behavioral growth.

In this bootcamp, you’ll be equipped with the tools, mindset,
and step-by-step guidance you need to create real change at home.

We start in the first week of June.

Here’s what you can expect when you join:

We Start Where Behavior Truly Begins: Biology and Connection

In this bootcamp, you’ll learn to understand and improve your child’s behavior by first meeting their essential biological and social needs. Together, we’ll build a foundation of healthy routines, focusing on nutrition, hydration, exercise, outdoor time, screen habits, and meaningful parent-
child connection because lasting emotional and behavioral regulation starts here, not with consequences or quick fixes.

We Stop Blaming and Start Building

Inside this bootcamp, you’ll learn to see challenging behavior for what it really is: a signal that your child is missing a skill, not trying to be bad. When you shift from punishing to teaching, everything changes — power struggles fade, connection grows, and you become the steady guide your child truly needs.

We Measure What Matters and Celebrate Progress You Can See

In this bootcamp, you won’t be left guessing if things are working. You’ll learn how to define a clear goal, track behavior the right way (by measuring intensity, frequency, and duration), and actually see the small wins adding up. With the right tools, you’ll feel confident, motivated, and proud of every step forward — because change isn’t just a feeling; it’s measurable.

What Actually Changes?

The Promises I Make to Every Parent Who Joins

It’s not just learning. It’s science + strategy + support, practiced in real-time with your child — and personalized for your family.

By the end of 8 weeks, you won’t just know better — you’ll do better. You’ll have the confidence and calm of a parent who’s no longer guessing, second-guessing, or stuck.

Less yelling. More cooperation.
Fewer “why won’t they listen?” moments. More “I finally understand what they need.”
A child who feels safe to open up — not explode.
A home where nervous systems (including yours) can breathe.
Clarity in the chaos — no more tiptoeing around meltdowns.
A Parent who knows how to say 'yes' without pleasing and 'no' without guilt.

Hi, I’m Dr. Marcy Atkins.

Child psychologist. Coach. Mom.
And founder of Pier Parent Coaching.

For years, I sat with families who felt stuck — not because they weren’t trying, but because traditional parenting advice wasn’t working.

“Time-outs.”

“Ignore the behavior.”

“Reward the good, punish the bad.”

It all sounded right on paper — but in real homes with real emotions? It didn’t hold.

So I started doing things differently.

I pulled from what I know as a psychologist — emotional regulation, attachment theory, brain development — and combined it with what I live as a parent.

What came out of it was something powerful: a parenting approach that’s sturdy, heart-centered, and actually works in the moment.

That’s what led me to create the Pier Parent Bootcamp — an 8-week journey for parents who are tired of meltdowns, power struggles, and second-guessing themselves.

It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about becoming a confident Parent —one who knows how to stay calm, connected, and sturdy even when things get messy.

If you’re here, I already know one thing: You care deeply.

And I’d be honored to guide you through the transformation you’ve been hoping for.
