#52 What’s Beneath the Behavior? Stress and Brain Development in 5–10 Year Olds
Welcome to the Parenting Well podcast with Parent Engagement Network! I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host and today’s well source is Melissa Holland.
Melissa Holland is a parenting coach, founder of Inner Wisdom Parenting, and a PEN Ambassador at SHMS who is passionate about helping parents raise emotionally healthy, resilient children, starting with themselves.
Melissa works with parents of young children, particularly ages 5–10, helping them better understand what’s really going on beneath behavior and how to respond with clarity, confidence, and connection. Through her coaching and workshops, she supports parents in tuning into both their child’s inner world and their own, so discipline becomes less about control and more about growth, trust, and relationship.
Grounded, compassionate, and deeply practical, Melissa’s work empowers parents to slow down, listen differently, and parent from a place of intention rather than reactivity. Her approach reminds parents that they already have much of what they need. Sometimes they just need support accessing their inner wisdom.
Melissa will be speaking at PEN's Stress & Anxiety Conference on Feb 28, 2026.
