Parenting Consultations
— Are you new to parenting? Are you wondering how on earth you will juggle all the demands of this new little being in your life? Are you overwhelmed by often conflicting advice and information you’ve gotten about early parenting? Are you looking to take the guess work out of responding to your little one’s unique personality, calming-alerting systems, sleep-wake systems, signaling and communication patterns, and pace of learning and developing? I provide support and education for effective parenting from birth, individualized to your little one’s unique make-up. See Developmental Play.
—Are you experienced at parenting? Are you looking to tune-up your parenting skills as your child transitions into another phase of development? Are you wondering how to best apply what you’ve read to your child’s unique style of relating, style of learning, sensory preferences, personality, past experiences, motivation, abilities, skills, hopes, fears and dreams? In this age of disconnection, are you wondering how to stay connected with your child while also supporting your child’s ever emerging individuation? Are you wondering how to protect and guide your adolescent in sorting through the many anxiety-provoking influences on her/ his life? I provide shame-free support and education for effective, tailored parenting through adolescence.
