Discover how to help your kids finish their homework…without ever raising your voice
School challenges are common for complex kids -- and can be excruciatingly stressful for the whole family. Stop the drama today with an online parenting program designed to help you manage all kinds of school-related headaches for kids who struggle with school!
Does this sound familiar?
It’s that time of the day again. A familiar sense of dread is starting to rise.
There's homework to be done.
The kids are home from school and you’ve finished your work for the day. In an ideal world, you could have a quiet moment to yourself, or spend some quality time with your kids.
But you've long since given up on the fantasy of enjoyable evenings or weekends.
The pressure of homework gets you down. Big time.
Even though you’ve had a long day, your “night-shift” work is just about to begin.
The assignments are different every night, the routine is much the same.
She doesn’t do the work, you yell, coax and even bribe. Nothing works. Tears are shed.
Or perhaps he tells you there is no homework today, or that he did it already. You breathe a sigh of relief ...only to find another ‘0’ grade the following week.
Sound familiar?
Fortunately, we have solutions that really help. And we’ve been guiding parents to overcome these problems for close to a decade.
But before we tell you about them, let us ask you something.
Are you sick of...
- Emailing teachers late at night when the work's not done?
- Bringing forgotten items to school?
- Dreading the chaos that comes home at 3pm?
- Watching a simple 10 minute assignment become 2 hours of suffering?
- Spending hours hovering, checking, handholding?
- Wondering why your smart kid can’t seem to do something basic?
- Helping with homework instead of making dinner?
- Craving sleep - for everyone?!
- Dreading the next "home project" assignment?
If you answer YES to any of these -- it's time to end the hours of stress, and the isolation that comes with it. Too many parents of complex kids are going through this battle alone, with no help.
But YOU don't have to!
Help is always available if you need it. You just have to be willing to ask for it -- and accept it (the hard part for many of us!)
Even though you may be suffering silently on a daily basis, you may feel like you are all alone in this, and that your problems are unique.
They’re not!
To make matters worse, you may get so frustrated that you find it hard to face the problem head on, or you don’t really know what to do.
You end up plodding miserably forward, hoping that things will get better. Maybe if you just wait long enough it will go away, right?
Nope!
Ignoring a problem can be tempting, but when kids’ challenges with school are avoided, they tend to get worse. The consequences can be debilitating for everyone.
Honestly — we have helped thousands of parents get the guidance they need to turn things around – to turn the daily turmoil of school struggles into smoother sailing — with the right information, support, and a few well-placed strategies (who doesn’t love strategies?!)
In fact, parent training is recommended treatment. Research has proven that it is ideal to help kids with complex issues learn to manage their challenges.
Before we move forward, let us introduce ourselves.
Who are we, and how can we help you?
We are Diane and Elaine, certified parent coaches and the co-founders of ImpactParents. We are also parents of a combined 6 children between our two families -- kids with ADD/ADHD, anxiety and a number of related challenges. We’ve been through years of school struggles with our own kids (and with hundreds of clients, too) -- and are still smiling (most of the time)!
Over the past decade we have become a leading “voice for parents” in the world of parenting complex kids, and are regularly sought out by national resources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, Attention and ADDitude magazines, and other national press.
In our VERY first year, we were awarded ‘Innovative Program’ status by CHADD, and since then we have enjoyed a number of recognition's including top ADHD blog of the year award multiple years running by Healthline!
We can't even begin to count how many times homework turned into a source of chaos and frustration for our kids over the years. But as we learned to support our kids with the skills we use as coaches, it made school life much easier for them to manage, and home life a lot less stressful for us!
Despite the challenges of having kids with Anxiety, or Dyslexia, or ADHD, or so many other challenges that make school difficult, we have a wealth of experience to assure you that school challenges, in particular, can be made SO much easier with a bit of select know-how.
We're excited to share those tricks with you.

BONUS MODULE -- Executive Function Basics! Listen to a one-hour expert tele-class on Executive Function* and ADHD. This tele-class gives you a foundational knowledge of Executive Function -- whether your child has ADHD or not -- that will support you in getting even more out of the Homework Headaches course.
*Executive function. You may have heard this term bandied around, but what does it actually mean? In very basic terms it refers to the set of brain-based functions that determine how we act. If people have trouble with executive function, this means they will struggle to manage behaviors like focus, time awareness, remembering details and curbing inappropriate actions. Sound familiar? Understanding executive function is key to helping your kids overcome their challenges.
Remember one thing...
We truly believe that this course can change your life. No question. In fact, it is literally impossible for you to complete the program and not have gotten any benefit. Impossible.
We also want to be clear that this is not a "fix your kid" course. We’re not the answer if you simply want to banish your child's complex issues forevermore. It doesn't work that way. The challenges your kids are facing are very real, and you can help them learn to get a handle on managing them -- when you start by understanding them.
We know that however hard you may find things, there are ways to manage every tricky situation to make it easier, better, and eventually even great. It may be hard to see now, but your child is special and unique -- her brain works slightly differently, and she needs a little help to locate her inner genius.
So, we can’t change your kids. But we CAN show you how to work with them to make their problems seem easier and more manageable for a long and fruitful life ahead.
“ImpactParents’ Homework Headaches program is brilliant. The content is strong and just what parents need to know. There’s a lot of great information, and it’s broken down into small enough chunks that it’s easy to use. The format that the material is delivered is also excellent, especially compared to other programs I’ve tried. From an online user experience, it’s straight-forward, very well done and easy to do in short segments and come back to it later. I don’t think you could make it any more simple. Overall, the program is just brilliant and has been absolutely life-changing for both my family and myself. ImpactParents makes all the difference!"
---Cynthia C. (London, England)
“My whole family thanks you… my daughter gets to focus on being a kid again. She gets to find joy in her accomplishments and areas of expertise. She recognizes that she would rather not deal with ADHD stuff, but that life is better when she deals with her challenges. When the fireworks ignite, she knows that her Mom and Dad are there for her.
ImpactParents' Homework Headaches has worked for us. I started out wanting to "fix my kid," I ended up rediscovering the joy of being my daughter's mom. Life's not perfect; we're still learning, adjusting, and living our relationships. But our family is empowered... not only with skills, compassion, and a resource, but also with hope. Bravo, guys; ImpactParents nailed it with this one... Long live the Homework Headaches, from one of your biggest fans. ”
--Michelle S, NB
Designed for maximum results & efficient use of your time.
We know you’re busy and that your life can feel chaotic. We get it. That’s why we have created structure to fit into the busiest of busy lives -- and designed it to work for all kinds of parents (those with complex issues like your kids, and those who don't)!
This program includes 12 distinct modules (plus a bonus module). The beauty of the course is that each module is only about 15 - 20 minutes long so every uber-busy parent (as we know you are!) can squeeze this in, podcast style! Please don’t take the brevity for a lack of substance - it’s veerrrry content rich.
In fact, it’s a perfect example of what we teach you to do for your kids. It’s hours of training, broken down into manageable chunks so as not to be overwhelming!
When possible, we do recommend that you follow a structure (i.e. one module a day, or two a week etc.) to keep things on track, but really - whatever works for you is just fine.
The home study course is also super simple to use and wonderfully interactive, to help you get the most from it. If you're a visual learner you can watch the video - kind of like a Powerpoint presentation. If you're an auditory learner, you can just listen - like a podcast.
Either way, we encourage you to answer some questions or complete short exercises at the end of each module that will help you incorporate what we cover in the module, focus in on how it relates to your child, and decide appropriate action to tackle your challenges -- one at a time.
Sounds great, but how much is it going to cost me?
What would pain free evenings be worth?
Are you willing to pay $1 every day for peaceful evenings in about two months? That's the cost of Homework Headaches - transformational change in a matter of weeks! Think about it -- the cost of your daily java seems pretty expensive compared to $1 for two months to change your life -- and your child’s future!
We want our training to be accessible to everyone, anywhere, any budget. That’s why we made Homework Headaches an online course: meaning a lower cost for you. Besides, as a busy parent, you can access it wherever you are in the world, at any time of day (or night!).
The price of Homework Headaches is not $397 or $247. Right now, it is available to you for just...
$147 $97
The cost for 12 sessions with a professional in person would likely be at least $1,000. But not this! This training is yours forever, and you'll have membership in the Lifeline Facebook group -- to connect with other parents -- for 3 months. All for less than a hundred dollars.
With Homework Headaches there is no running around, making appointments or sitting in traffic. And you’ll learn skills that will last a lifetime — your child’s lifetime!
It is quite simply the lowest you’ll ever pay for such in-depth information of this quality.
This is our goal, and our mission. And we hope you’ll join us.

Our Parent-to-Parent Promise
People with complex issues tend to be wonderfully creative and innovative. They learn to be resourceful in the process of overcoming their challenges. In fact, according to Psychology Today, people with ADHD are 300% more likely to start their own business. And the success rate of kids with remediated Dyslexia is quite stunning!
Let's be honest. Very few kids actually want to do homework. It’s boring and most would rather be running around outside, playing video games or hanging out with their friends. So, if you flip the homework situation over, the ones who do it with no arguments are the ones who are merely obedient and good at following instructions. Great in an academic environment -- but not so interesting in life.
Your kids complex issues, on the other hand, help them learn to overcome challenges in life, which can prepare them for extraordinary futures.
By learning how to "do school" -- with your help, now -- your kids will learn to tackle life's challenges.
As for you? You’ll be happy and free knowing that you raised your kids to be the best they can be.
With a bit of training - your struggles can be transformed to the foundation of an incredible life. What are you waiting for?!
From parent to parent with love,
Elaine & Diane

Here are some common questions you might have:
Q. What exactly do I get when I join the program?
A: As a Homework Headaches parent, you will:
- Have access to the 12 module program - plus bonus. These modules are designed to fit into the busiest lives, so don’t worry - each video is only 15-20 minutes long, and jam packed full of incredible takeaways that you will use for years to come.
- Get access to us as your coaches. Got a problem or question? Tag us in the Lifeline group and let us know!
- Learn valuable tools and techniques for tackling homework with confidence. These tools are also super relevant and useful in other areas of life with a complex kid.
- Have access to ImpactParents' private online members community, which is the ideal place to meet fellow parents and discuss your experiences — confidentially.
- Learn in the comfort of your own home, and re-listen to the sessions as often as you wish!
Q. How much does it cost?
A: The cost of taking the Homework Headaches course is $147 $97. The online nature of the course means we have been able to make this extremely affordable, with the hope that we can reach as many families as possible.
Homework Headaches is a modest investment for the same quality training you’d receive at a conference or in a therapist’s office. Given that you can learn from home, you don’t have to worry about childcare costs (or the stress of leaving your complex child at home!), travel costs or traffic woes, this is a much more efficient and effective investment of your time and money!
Q. How long is each module?
A: The videos/audios in each module are roughly 15 - 20 minutes each. Each module has additional reading, exercises and coaching questions. The modules take an average 30-60 minutes to complete, depending on your level of thoroughness.
Q. What do I need to prepare beforehand?
A: We suggest that you have a pen and paper beside you while you listen to the modules, should you want to take notes. Designating a “coaching journal” for use in the training is ideal.
Q. Anything else?
A: There will be questions and exercises at the end of each module. We encourage you to plan additional time to process the learning from each module, review the supplemental materials, and integrate the learning.
Q. Who are Elaine and Diane?
A: Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster are certified professional coaches and the co-founders of ImpactParents.com. They are also mothers who have 6 kids between their two families with ADHD and a number of other related issues including Anxiety, Depression, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and other learning disabilities.
Unfortunately, when their kids were younger, the kind of support that would have helped them was not available. That inspired them to establish ImpactParents, as they recognized a huge need for support for parents that makes a real difference for kids. They hope that no parent ever has to go through this alone – not when they know they can do something to help!
For full bio’s for each please visit:
Q. My child does not have ADHD. Will Homework Headaches still help?
A: Sure! We welcome parents of what we like to call “complex” kids – children with ADHD, LD and related challenges. There are even some additional exercises for kids who specifically struggle with LD. Since 70% of kids with ADHD have a number of different co-existing issues, these strategies are relevant for all of them. So whether ADHD is suspected, diagnosed, or not even likely, if you have a “complex” kid, you probably know what we mean – and this is definitely for you.
Q. If I don’t find this useful, is there a guarantee?
A: Yes, we offer a no risk guarantee. If, after the program, you don’t feel like you have gotten value from it, let us know within 30 days at TheTeam@ImpactParents.com and your money will be cheerfully refunded. Every penny.
Designed for busy parents.
This course is split into bite-sized chunks to let you do little bit at a time, even in your PJs if you want. You have unlimited access 24 hours a day – 7 days a week. If you have 30 minutes a week for 3 months, we can help you change your family dynamic for a lifetime!
Costs less than a daily coffee over a few weeks!
Let’s deal with the Elephant in the room. We’ve gone to great lengths to design a program that actually WORKS in the REAL world, and we’ve kept it at a price that is less than a hundred dollars. It’s meant to be so affordable that you can’t say no to getting the help you need. It’s just $1 a day for about two months!
Complete peace of mind
You know what you’ve got to lose if you’re not successful. That’s what keeps you up at night, and spawns panic attacks every time you prepare for the 3pm homework struggle. But do you know what you have to gain? We are so confident that the Homework Headaches Program will help you make educating your child more productive and calm – quickly – that we offer a complete money back guarantee.
