Private Practice and the Discovery of Imbalanced Family Power (IFP)

In 1994, She took a significant step by establishing her private practice. During this time, she began to observe a pervasive issue in family dynamics – Imbalanced Family Power (IFP). This phenomenon, she noted, could be a root cause of emotional and behavioural disorders in children.

Grosshans recognized the critical need for addressing IFP and developed a groundbreaking five-step strategy called "The Ladder to Effectiveness." This strategy has proven transformative in helping parents regain their rightful leadership roles within their families, ultimately restoring harmony and health to their relationships.
