Atomic Parenting — Disclaimer & Terms

What this newsletter is.

Atomic Parenting provides educational content about pediatric sleep, challenging behavior, and behavioral science applied to parenting. Content is written by Dr. Kevin Luczynski, BCBA-D, and Dr. Derek Reed, BCBA-D, and is grounded in published research and a behavioral conceptualization.

What this newsletter is not.

Nothing published here constitutes individualized professional consultation, behavioral assessment, diagnosis, or treatment. This content is not a substitute for working with a qualified professional who knows your child and your family’s specific circumstances.

No professional relationship.

Reading, subscribing to, or interacting with this newsletter does not establish a professional-client relationship between you and Dr. Luczynski or Dr. Reed. If you are interested in individualized consultation, contact dr.l@atomicparenting.com to discuss services separately.

Scope of practice.

Dr. Luczynski and Dr. Reed are Board Certified Behavior Analysts at the doctoral level (BCBA-D). Their content reflects behavioral science. When topics fall outside the scope of behavior analysis — including but not limited to medical sleep disorders, medication, or nutritional guidance — that content is informational only. These interventions are not behavioral in nature and are not covered by BACB certification. Always consult a physician for medical concerns.

Interactive tools and visualizations.

Some newsletter content links to interactive pages hosted at visual.atomicparenting.com. These tools are educational resources, not clinical instruments. They do not collect personal data and are not intended to replace professional assessment.

Your responsibility.

You are responsible for how you use the information in this newsletter. Every child and family is different. What works in a research study or in one home may not be appropriate for yours. Use your judgment and consult your own professionals.

Liability.

Dr. Luczynski and Dr. Reed are not liable for any outcomes resulting from your use of this content. All information is provided as-is, without warranty.

Affiliate links and recommendations.

If this newsletter ever includes affiliate links, sponsored content, or paid recommendations, they will be clearly disclosed in the post where they appear, in accordance with FTC guidelines.

Book and product references.

References to Sleepy Stars: Bedtime by the Book or other products reflect work the authors are involved in. These are disclosed as their own projects, not independent endorsements.

Crisis resources.

If your child or family is in immediate danger, call 911. For mental health crises, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

This disclaimer may be updated. The current version is always available on this page.
