ABOUT THE BOOK

A practical, parent-friendly guide for pediatric therapists who want to share the load without losing themselves

Meet Me Halfway is more than a book. It’s a new way of thinking about partnership. This story-rich, practical guide helps you build deeper connections with families, create more sustainable therapy plans, and center progress that fits into real life, not just the therapy room.

They say they understand, but something’s missing. You see the nod, hear the “okay,” but deep down, you know the strategy didn’t land.

The parent wants to help. You want to help. But you’re both standing on opposite sides of a gap, unsure how to move forward without adding more pressure or more confusion.

Meet Me Halfway is about building that bridge, one conversation at a time.

What You’ll Learn

  • The Parent Engagement Shift

    Why telling parents “do the home program” doesn’t work and what to do instead.

  • “Teach Out Loud”

    A powerful mantra that transforms how parents see therapy and how they see YOU.

    How to spot when parents are quietly disengaged and what to say that turns them into partners.

The Ripple Journal Effect

Big shifts don’t happen from reading alone. They happen when you slow down, reflect, and let the learning settle. That’s what The Ripple Journal Effect is for

This guided journal helps you:

  • Process what you’re learning in real time

  • Stay focused and aligned with your goals

  • Track the ripple moments that matter most

  • Build a simple reflection habit that fits real life

Together, the book and journal give you more than insight. They help you put it into action.

Confident Conversations In Pediatric Therapy Scripts

As a pediatric therapist, the hardest part isn’t always the treatment plan, it’s knowing how to connect with parents in ways that inspire trust, consistency, and teamwork. Without parent engagement, progress stalls. With it, children thrive.

These Scripts will help you:

  • Start strong by setting clear expectations with new families

  • How to address barriers like inconsistent attendance, lack of follow-through, or financial stress, without shame or conflict

  • Quick-reference phrasing for common challenges like dismissive parents, late arrivals, or disengagement during sessions

Instead of feeling caught off guard, you’ll walk into every session equipped with words that build trust, reduce resistance, and keep families engaged for the long haul.
