What If There Was a Way to Make Life Easier for Our Kids?
A note from a mom (and co-CEO of Zengar®)
Let’s be honest. Being a parent today isn’t easy. There’s more pressure, more labels and more comparison than ever before. We all want our kids to grow up confident, kind, and capable, but the path to get there can feel overwhelming.
I’ve been using NeurOptimal® for 22 years. Long before I became a parent I was running Sessions on myself. Through career shifts, personal stress and eventually pregnancy, I leaned on it. And once my son was born, it felt natural to include it in his life too. Not because anything was “wrong”, just because I knew how it helped me feel: clearer, calmer, more flexible. And I wanted that for him.
What I Saw in My Son as the Years Went On
I started running NeurOptimal® Sessions on my son when he was four. Nothing formal, just something we did regularly as part of our routine. Over time, his teachers began to call attention to subtle differences compared to his peers.
They would say things like, "He seems more mature than the other kids," or "He has a quiet confidence about him." Some mentioned how he carried himself differently and how he handled situations with a calmness that stood out, even on the playground.
He wasn’t just doing well in school. He was grounded and self-assured and could bounce back when things didn’t go his way. And honestly, he was a joy to raise. He still is.
Now, at 19, he’s focused, logical, kind, and emotionally steady. He chooses great friends and navigates conflict with maturity. He’s the kind of young adult who makes you pause and think, what if more kids had this kind of foundation?
I’ve Seen This Happen in Other Families Too
As co-CEO of Zengar®, I’ve seen countless families use NeurOptimal® with their children. I’ve also had the privilege of watching many of those children grow up, and seeing the qualities they’ve carried with them into adulthood has been nothing short of inspiring.
Balanced. Resourceful. Resilient. The kind of people who seem to move through life just a little more gracefully than most.
I’m not saying NeurOptimal® is the only reason for that growth, but I can’t ignore the pattern. Kids who grow up with it often carry something extra. There’s an ease in their relationships, a clarity in their thinking, and a calm confidence that helps them thrive.
What If We Could Support Them Before Things Get Hard?
Most people come to NeurOptimal® after something has already become difficult. School stress. Big emotions. Trouble focusing. Outbursts and acting out. And yes, NeurOptimal® can absolutely help in those moments. But what if we started earlier, before there was a problem?
What if we supported our kids before the overwhelm? Before the self-doubt? Before the spark in their eyes started to fade?
That’s where I believe the real magic happens.
What They Can Gain Is What Matters Most
I’m not here to sell you a perfect life or make promises that NeurOptimal® will fix everything. That’s not how it works. It’s not about control, rather, it’s about flexibility. NeurOptimal® gives the brain information it can use to better organize itself. And when the brain is more organized, everything tends to feel just a little easier.
Focus. Sleep. Emotional balance. Friendships. Learning. Self-trust.
Wouldn’t you want that for your child?
It Was Just Something We Did That Happened to Make a Lasting Difference
As both a parent and part of the team behind NeurOptimal®, I’ve lived this story every day for more than 22 years. I’ve watched my son grow up with a sense of self I wish every child could have. I’ve seen how this system supports the entire family. Not by doing the work for us, but by giving our brains the chance to reset and regulate themselves.
So, here’s my question to all parents.
Why wait?
Why not give your child the kind of edge that builds from the inside out?
Start them young. Keep it simple. Let their brain do what it was designed to do.
Then all you have to do is sit back and watch them enjoy the ride.
