You love your child, but does parenting them feel impossible? 

Is your child:

Disrespectful & defiant?

Lying & manipulative?

Physically aggressive to people or animals?

Suicidal or self-harming?

Truant or failing classes?

Bullying or being bullied?

Unable to make friends?

Unwilling to help around the house?

Apathetic, not caring about anything?

Do these thoughts feel familiar?

“I’ve tried everything, and I don’t know what else to do.”

“I’m starting to hate my child.”

“I’m going f$#%ing crazy.”

“I’m exhausted and feel like a failure.”

“I love my kid, but I feel hopeless.”

“Nobody understands and I feel so alone.”

You’re not crazy. Neither is your kid.

Welcome
to Dandelion™

We see you. We're unafraid and we're ready to meet you and your child where you are. 

Why nothing has worked

When your child is stressed, overwhelmed or scared, they can’t process information or learn well. They either want to shut down, run away or fight. Programs that attempt to fix these behaviors without first growing their capacity to manage their emotions and their bodies through safe relationships will fail every time.

What doesn’t work?
01

Services that only focus on the child—without caregiver involvement.

02

Behavior charts, punishments, and rewards—that don’t address the real issue.

03

Programs that focus on compliance, not connection.

Why Dandelion works when nothing else has:

Real change happens when families heal together. That’s why we created The Hub—a comprehensive, science-backed coaching program that helps whole families move from chaos to connection.

What actually works?
01

Understanding what’s happening beneath the behavior.

02

Helping caregivers become the foundation of their child’s healing.

03

Building emotional safety, not forcing control.

At Dandelion, you'll learn how to:

Have healthy influence with your child instead of feeling powerless.

Foster emotional safety so your child can thrive.

Parent effectively —without guilt, frustration, or burnout.

Hi, we’re Dandelion.

We know how isolating this feels. You’ve tried everything—nothing sticks.


We’ve spent years working with kids who seem hopeless and families who are caught in cycles of incredible stress and disconnection. Through it all, we saw one truth:
 

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationships.


For years, we’ve helped hundreds of families like yours move from chaos to connection using Neurorelational coaching, our science-backed, relationship-first approach.

Neurorelational Coaching helps families understand how our brains, experiences and relationships shape behavior—creating real change through connection.

I want to help my child but...

We know you have doubts.
Here’s why Dandelion is different.

 

1. “I just need my child to change—I don’t have time for another program.”

If quick fixes worked, you wouldn’t be here. Real change happens when families heal together. Dandelion gives you real-time tools so change starts at home—every day. With flexible coaching on the farm, in your home, or virtually, support fits into your busy life.

2. “We’ve already tried therapy, and nothing worked.”

Services that focus only on the child don't work. Real change happens when caregivers are involved. Our neuroscience-based approach helps you decode behavior and build real connection so your child can thrive.

3. “I’m tired of being blamed for my child’s behavior - are you going to do that?”

No shame. No judgment. Everyone is welcome. Behavior is communication, not bad parenting. We’re here to help you understand what’s really going on, to support you and give you the tools to support your child—without guilt.

4. “What if this doesn’t work?”

Caregivers who commit to this process see real change. It’s going to take time. Real change always does. Even if your child has been in therapy for years, our whole-family coaching approach makes the difference. You won’t be left guessing what to do in scary moments—we’ll walk with you through them.

5. “We can’t afford this.”

We understand—cost is a real concern. Minnesota’s Waiver Program can help partially or fully cover this service for eligible families, making support possible. We’ll guide you through the process so finances don’t stand in the way of the change your family needs.

The Behavior Decoder: What Your Child’s Outbursts Are Really Telling You (And How to Respond)

When people’s lives are improved, they have great things to say.

This is where I feel valued as a parent where I don’t in other places…My whole life has changed. And [she] has changed for the better being out here. If I can learn a new way of parenting at 76, which is not easy, anyone can learn this for the betterment of your child and yourself.

Client Review

Previous to coming to discovery horse, my daughter and I had been through many therapy programs, an in-patient program that she was in for a year, and nothing seemed to work because everything was so dictated on what their schedule was versus what she actually needed. Her progress has been tremendous…she is able to communicate with other people, she is able to leave the house and do shopping with me, travel and do things in the community. Previous to being out here, she would never, ever go with anybody.

Review Review

Discovery Horse is about creating a safe space and creating a relationship whether it is with animals, through animals, with people… If something comes up and you need three hours to get it done, they will take that three hours and put everything else on hold to make sure that is taken care of. That is what happened to me and that is what saved my child from foster care.
