Hart to Heart

Family Support  

  • Have you tried gentle parenting but feel like you're failing?

  • Did you enter parenting with confidence to manage basic challenges but are now seeing that confidence dwindle based off your child's extreme behaviors?

  • Does "traditional" parenting advice feel tone deaf to your own parenting experience?

If you answered yes..

You are in the right place.

I am here to tell you that you matter too. Parenting is not easy and social media has made access to parenting support everywhere. Most support lately focuses on gentle and positive parenting that provides tid-bits of information, hyper-focused on emotions. Often leaving parents wondering, “what do I do next? I validated my child’s emotions and I told them it was okay and they are still angry? Now what do I do?”

I am here to help you anticipate and manage the upset that inevitably follows a necessary and respectful limit.

As a parent, witnessing your child's extreme emotions can be deeply overwhelming and disheartening. You might find yourself doubting your ability to provide the necessary support, as every outburst chips away at your confidence. Nights are sleepless, filled with worry about your child's well-being and your own capacity to manage the situation. The constant emotional rollercoaster leaves you feeling isolated and unsure, second-guessing your decisions and yearning for a sense of stability.

One-on-one long-term coaching offers a transformative solution to this struggle. With personalized guidance, you can develop effective strategies tailored to your child's unique needs. Over time, you gain a deeper understanding of their emotional triggers and learn how to respond calmly and constructively. Regular coaching sessions provide a supportive space to discuss challenges and celebrate progress, gradually rebuilding your confidence. This sustained support not only helps in managing your child's emotions but also empowers you to foster a harmonious and resilient family dynamic.
