When you stay grounded, everything else has room to change.

Hi, I'm Paul DeRenzo

Founder of Parenting Without Eggshells

This is my Story

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with parents who care deeply about their kids but feel constantly on edge in their own homes. Conversations turn tense fast. Small moments escalate. Everyone ends up exhausted, confused, and disconnected.

What I’ve learned is that most parents are not doing anything wrong. They are responding in real time to stress, emotional intensity, and dynamics no one ever taught them how to navigate.

My background in mental health and coaching showed me something important. Change does not come from more rules, lectures, or trying to stay calm through sheer willpower. It comes from understanding what is happening beneath the behavior and learning how to respond differently in the moment.

Parenting Without Eggshells grew out of this work. It is a practical coaching program designed to help parents de-escalate conflict, stay grounded when emotions run high, and repair relationships without shame or power struggles. The focus is on real skills you can use in real life, especially when things feel hard.

This work is not about fixing your child. It is about giving you the tools, clarity, and confidence to lead with steadiness, even when your teen is not.
