MY PARENTING PHILOSOPHY

Parenting is hard and everyone with a social media account is now an expert on how YOU should run your home and teach YOUR child. With all the conflicting advice it can feel overwhelming figuring out who to listen to and whom to work with so let me share my philosophy so that you can get a better feel of who I truly am.

My goal is to bring peace to your household, I believe you know your child better than anyone else in the world. My first step is always to listen to my family’s unique situation so that I can advise from a place of understanding and never from a place of judgment. I do not believe in one fits all parenting advice, instead I believe in finding the approach that will fit best given the families beliefs, needs, culture and limitations. I believe when you limit yourself to one “style” of parenting it stifles flexibility and makes it more challenging to maintain healthy practices long term. I believe in respectful parenting, an approach that gives you as the parent what they need while maintaining a loving yet authoritative relationship with your child.

What  Do I Believe? 

That said – there are some absolutes and hard truths you should know before working with me.

1. I have never nor will ever condone physical abuse or discipline of any type . No exception. If you are a parent who currently whoops your child but has a desire to change we may still be a great match! Awareness is always the first step and as previously stated I am not here to judge you.

2. Emotional regulation is the foundation of every tactic I teach. If you are not ready to acknowledge your own feelings we are not the best fit.

3. Information is only powerful when applied. You can consult with me weekly (and many parents do) but if you get off of our zoom meeting and do not even attempt to apply the strategies we discussed you will not see results. I am here with you, I am your biggest cheerleader and I am an expert in my field. That said- I am honest, and have seen my practices work wonders. However if you are not applying what you've learned we may have to just reconvene when you’re ready.
