You love your child deeply. Parenting them doesn't always feel that way.

That gap between the parent you want to be and the one who shows up when things get hard — that's exactly what we work on here. Together.

Parenting is harder than you thought it would be.

You might be here because…

You love your child deeply. But some days, you hear yourself saying things you swore you never would. You feel more reactive than you want to be. And the strategies you've tried haven't quite stuck.
That's not a character flaw. It's a gap in understanding — and it's completely close-able.
  • You want to stop yelling, but don't know what to do instead
  • Your child's big emotions feel overwhelming to you both
  • You feel disconnected and want to get back to each other
  • You're reading all the books but can't make it work in real life
  • You find yourself losing the joy in parenting

What becomes possible…

Yelling & repeating yourself → Calm, clear responses

Power struggles → Genuine cooperation

Walking on eggshells → Confidence & ease

Feeling disconnected → A relationship that feels good

MY APPROACH

Practical tools. Real understanding. Lasting change.

My work is rooted in what science tells us about children — and about us.
Because understanding why we react the way we do is often the first step to changing it.

Brain Science

Understand how your child's developing
brain shapes their behavior,
so you stop taking it personally.

Nervous System Awareness

Learning to recognize your
own triggers, so you can respond
instead of react.

Emotional Intelligence

Building the skills to
hold space for big emotions
— yours and your child's.

Positive Parenting

Moving away from punishment
toward connection-based tools that actually work long term.

Meet the Founder

Hi! I am Lina Lie, the human behind Raising Thriving Families.

I help parents move from punishment and yelling toward connection and cooperation.

My programs are family-centric. What this means is that we don't just talk about your child. We look at you too. Your patterns, your nervous system, your history. Because sustainable change starts with the parents leading the home.
I believe children thrive when parents feel supported. So that's exactly what I focus on: helping you build a stronger family from the inside out.
My work integrates attachment science, nervous system awareness, and practical parenting tools. Over the years I've supported hundreds of families around the world — through coaching, parenting groups, and community spaces where parents feel genuinely seen.
I'm a contributing author to The Peaceful Parenting (R)evolution: Changing the World by Changing How We Parent and have been featured in Austin Voyage and other publications and podcasts.
