Let My Palmer Thriving Resilience Treehouse Program Bring Emotional Regulation and Resilience to Your
Family and Classroom

Here's the truth: Traditional timeout corners and behavior charts aren't cutting it anymore. Our kids are facing a world that's more overwhelming than ever. And they CANNOT navigate it without us!
That's why I created the Palmer Thriving Resilience Treehouse Program.
This isn't just another parenting course or classroom management system. WHY?
It honors the truth that these kids' behaviors aren't "bad behavior" but stress responses from overwhelmed nervous systems. Instead of promising quick fixes or behavior modification, I teach parents and teachers how to:
-
Decode stress responses rather than punish them
-
Create safety instead of demanding compliance
-
Build connection instead of enforcing control
-
Support regulation instead of requiring "better" behavior
-
Understand the child's experience instead of just managing symptom
It's YOUR BLUEPRINT to begin transforming emotional chaos into calm confidence – at home AND in school.
🌟 IMAGINE:
• Mornings without meltdowns and resistance
• Homework and class time without power struggles and tantrums
• Home and classroom transitions that actually flow smoothly
• A child who can say "I'm overwhelmed" instead of throwing things or shutting down
• Simple tools that work at home AND at school!

You'll go from:
"I've tried everything" →
"I finally have a plan that works"
"Nothing helps" →
"I know exactly what to do"
"Why won't they listen?" →
"We understand each other"
The secret? My unique Thriving Resilience Treehouse Blueprint:
Build the foundation. Master the tools. Transform the relationship.
Let Me Introduce Myself!
I'm Dr. D.A. (David) Palmer, Certified Parenting & Educational Coach, Consultant, & Speaker
As a parent, an educator, and a certified coach/consultant/speaker, I understand the joys and complexities of raising and teaching exceptionally wired (neurodivergent) children. I'm here to guide, empower, and support you every step of the way.
My journey into parent and educator coaching began when I realized traditional advice wasn't working for my family or my students. Raising five amazing teens and working as a K-12 teacher and principal, I discovered the power of strengths-based coaching and developed my Thriving Resilience Treehouse Model. Now, I am passing my experience and expertise (as a Doctor of Education in Special Education) to countless families and educators like you who are hungry for non-nonsense, practical, and researched-backed guidance and solutions.
So...when can we get started?

TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Palmer has been a blessing to our family. He has gone the extra mile to support our child and our whole family. He has provided very informative assessments, and his coaching has been instrumental in meetings at school. He has been and continues to be a lighthouse in navigating new waters.
Tony and Jessica G., Parents
It has been a privilege to work with Dr.Palmer! His insights and guidance were a tremendous help in navigating all things neurodivergence and parenting in general. The reassurance and validation he gave us in knowing what we were dealing with on a daily basis was not only typical but expected,
really helped us feel so much more at ease!
James and Melissa H., Parent
While I've collaborated with many special education professionals over my teaching career, Dr. Palmer's approach transformed my entire classroom practice. Unlike typical quick consultations, he helped me see my students' needs through an entirely new lens, providing insights that changed how I support all learners, not just those with special needs. During our several months of collaboration, he didn't just offer suggestions – he helped me truly understand the 'why' behind student behaviors and provided concrete strategies I could implement immediately. His methods challenged me to think differently about classroom management in ways that my teacher preparation and previous professional development never had, while keeping solutions practical and achievable. The impact has been profound – I've seen remarkable improvements in both student engagement and classroom dynamics.”
