Sri Hatharasinghe-Gerschler, M.A.
Author of Calm, Confident, Connected: Simple Tools to Support Your Child's Emotions, Behavior, and Brain — and the founder of the parenting-education platform built from that framework.
About Sri
Sri Hatharasinghe-Gerschler holds a Master of Arts (M.A.) in child development and education, with specialized training in emotional regulation, neurodivergent learning profiles, and family support strategies. Her work draws on evidence-based frameworks — including the Zones of Regulation, Spoon Theory, and behavioral communication models — translated into language and tools that real parents can use in real moments.
She is the author of Calm, Confident, Connected: Simple Tools to Support Your Child's Emotions, Behavior, and Brain, a book born from years of working with families navigating ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, and high emotional intensity. The book became the foundation for this platform — a way to put the same strategies into daily, interactive tools parents could reach for at any moment.
Sri's approach is built on a simple belief: regulated parents raise regulated kids. When parents understand why a behavior is happening — not just what to do about it — the whole family shifts from surviving to thriving.
Why I Built This
"I built Calm, Confident, Connected because I watched too many parents blame themselves for behaviors they didn't understand. The books gave advice, but nothing gave them a way to practice it in the chaos of a real Tuesday afternoon. I wanted to put the tools — the scripts, the tracking, the visual supports — right in a parent's pocket, so that in the hard moments they never had to figure it out alone. Every family deserves to feel calm, confident, and connected. That's the whole point."
