Claire's Learning Studio
Parenting your high-energy kid doesn’t have to feel this hard.
I help parents of intense, high-energy kids build independence - without power struggles, guilt, or burning themselves out.
Child-led learning, real tools, nervous-system support, and permission to parent a little weird.
Hi, I’m Claire — educator, microschool founder, and mom helping parents raise capable kids without burnout.
If you're here, you're probably parenting a kid who...
• Needs constant attention
• Struggles with independent play
• Has big emotions or intense reactions
• Falls apart when routines change
• Is strong-willed, sensitive, or high-energy
• Leaves you feeling exhausted by the end of the day
You are not alone.
And you are not doing anything wrong.
Some kids simply need a different approach.
Here's what most parenting advice misses:
Kids aren’t difficult because of bad behavior.
They struggle when their skills, sensory needs, and nervous system are overwhelmed.
When we understand what’s underneath behavior, everything changes.
More cooperation.
Fewer battles.
More connection.
More confidence — for both of you.
At Claire's Learning Studio, I believe:
- Behavior is communication
- Kids do well when they can
- Independence is built — not demanded
- Connection reduces conflict
- Parents deserve support - not more pressure
This isn’t perfection parenting.
This is sustainable parenting.

Hi, I’m Claire.
I’ve spent over a decade working with children as an educator and founded a progressive microschool centered on autonomy, emotional development, and child-led learning.
I specialize in supporting families with intense, sensitive, and high-energy kids — the ones traditional parenting advice often doesn’t quite fit.
I’ve also been featured in the Chicago Tribune and on WGN Radio for my work supporting families and alternative education.
Most importantly — I’m a parent too.
