So many parents I talk with feel desperate. They love their child and want to help, but what they're doing doesn't seem to be working.
Supporting Parents in Supporting their Children
I draw from my many years experience as an elementary school counsellor, my training in family systems and a strong background in child development, grounded in Dr Gordon Neufeld’s theory of attachment. My own journey as a parent has been my most profound teacher!
My focus in helping parents is two fold; to develop the kind of relationship with their child that will allow children to mature fully – emotionally, socially and intellectually and to protect their children from influences that are too much to handle. These are different for each child and family. Parents and I work together to develop a clear map as to where we are going, and I help empower parents to develop their own specific tools and strategies to nurture their families. |
“She’s too scared to
go to school.” * "He doesn't listen to me." * “The only thing she cares about is what her friends say.” * “Whenever I talk to him, he gets angry or shuts down.” |
 ...to grow sweet fruit, nourish the roots.
