Meet Veenu Keller
Many of my families never had peace in their homes, even back to their own childhood. They look at shows like The Nanny and Bringing Up Bates and think, “we’re doomed”. I’m here to tell you that you’re not. In fact, reading this tells me you’re closer than you may think to your version of a “happily ever after.”
I’m Veenu Keller, parent coach, child behavioral specialist, in-home interventionist, best-selling author, Certified Master Life Coach, and founder of The In Home Family TurnAround Program. I help families recover and grow closer together. Often this happens after a time of intense stress, where the kids and their parents have lost their sense of “peace”. The joy has gone out of parenting and the “when will this be over” has set in.

Mom, wife, parenting coach, and kid whisper
I’ve been called the “kid whisper” for most of my professional career. I walk into people’s homes and it’s like I’ve always been there. And that’s not because I match with your furniture, but because I understand where you are. I know what it’s like to feel like your house is one melt-down away from falling apart. What it feels like to wish for bedtime at 3 in the afternoon and what it’s like to feel the shame of wondering if you should have ever explored this “being a parent” thing at all.
I get it, parenting is not for the weak at heart.
The most interesting thing I’ve discovered is that kids and parents are not really all that different. We all want freedom and by that I mean the ability to be yourself without the constraints of rules or boundaries.
No one wants to be told what to do all the time without having some kind of break, and that includes Mom and Dad. Yet families cannot survive without rules of engagement. Bedtime. Homework. Chores. These are all a part of being in a family. How these daily experiences are managed often sheds light on why families are in such turmoil.
I’m often brought into a family's home when it’s discovered that instead of Mom and Dad running the show, there’s a very loud or very wounded person in charge. And truth be told, when your house is managed by the “loudest” person in the room, you definitely have a challenge. Just remember that the loud person can be an out of control kid, a belligerent teenage, or a screaming parent.

Veenu gets families...
Parenting in 2021 is hard. We have all just been through a year where we feel like we were stretched beyond our capacity. Kids are tired. Parents are tired. So many of the families I work with are aware at a visceral level as to how deeply they love each other, perhaps because we’re aware of how fleeting life can be. And yet, constant stress tears even happy families apart.
I know what it’s like to look at your kid and think, “I love you, but I sure don’t like you right now.” That’s real parenting. And, I know what it’s like to think, “My Mom and Dad are great but I wish they would LEAVE. ME. ALONE.” The experience of loving people who also make you want to tear your hair out is what it’s like to live in many modern families.

Credentials & Street Credentials
I come from the school of thought that the best teachers don’t learn everything they need in a classroom. You have to get in the trenches otherwise all of the “book smarts” fall flat when you try to “apply” it to real life. And let’s face it, nothing is more real than kids.
I bring both academic and personal experience to my coaching.

As a parenting coach, I truly get kids. The way they communicate, the way they share their raw humor, joy and pain. Kids speak to me and I want to hear what they have to say. Perhaps that’s why it all works so well. I really enjoy being with families. The challenges people face are not issues to meet with shame or judgment, it’s just where people are. And, if these families had better ways to cope with their struggles they would.
When people face their truth… that no matter how hard they try to fix, medicate, manipulate, bribe, or pray their challenges away, that the issues are still present, it’s time for me to step in. That’s the moment when I’m called.
Because as the “kid whisper” I get what it’s like for the loudest, little person in the room. I get what it’s like to feel helpless and hopeless to change an “immovable” person. How pointless the tears, screaming, and prayers are when you're on your knees begging for a solution.
And perhaps most of all, I know the value of listening to those voices so the pain can be healed.
Parents are often simply too close to their kids to see a way out. For me, that’s the magic of an outside intervention. I can appreciate your situation, find easy, workable solutions, and coach you on how to get your life back on track quickly.
If you’re ready to talk, I would welcome the conversation.
