About the Founder

Mary Ann Ramiterre is the founder of Responsive Parenting Made Simple.


A former Grade 1 teacher and mother of two boys (ages 6 and 10), she thought she understood child behavior—until daily tantrums hit at home.

She noticed a powerful pattern: most meltdowns weren’t “bad behavior,” but emotional overload during transitions—ending play, getting ready, switching activities.

That insight led her to create the Micro-Transitions Method—a gentle, practical system that prepares children emotionally before transitions happen. After using it at home, tantrums eased, mornings became calmer, and connection replaced power struggles.

The eBook From Chaos to Calm is her way of helping working moms of kids ages 3–6 move from daily meltdowns to smoother, more joyful days—one small transition at a time. 💛
