Hello
I offer support with small groups and individual sessions to discuss your parenting concerns.
Got parenting concerns? We all do! No question is too small. I offer advice for newborn babies through to 5 years old .
Becoming a parent is a huge transition in your life and can bring a whole range of emotions from joy to being overwhelmed.
Most parents have challenges when raising their child. I know I did! I can talk to you about the normal, everyday struggles you are having with your newborn baby
Let me help you with understanding your new baby: how to bond with her, interpreting her hunger cues and soothing her as she cries. I can explain wake windows, tummy time, sensory play and all the other baby terms. Caring for your baby, means caring for yourself, which can be hard as you juggle motherhood. We can chat about co regulation- what does that mean? There is a lot going on and a lot to learn.
Read my blogs about breastfeeding and sleeping.
As your baby grows we can discuss communicating with your baby ( they may not be able to talk but they can communicate with you), the importance of routines, sleep, basic feeding and play. What is typical development? Let's discuss gentle parenting with specific strategies for your child.
When children enter the toddler stage, tantrums, anger and behavioral challenges can occur. This is normal! But we often need help with how to handle them.
How can I help? I will listen to your concerns and I can give you different parenting strategies to help with positive parenting. I believe 'behavior is communication', your child is trying to tell you something. You are not doing anything 'wrong' and you child is not being a brat. It sometimes takes a slightly different approach and often it just takes a couple of sessions to see an improvement in your child's behavior.
Tackling the small problems today can prevent bigger problems in the future.
If you feel overwhelmed or you just aren't happy with your child's behavior, contact me for an individual session.
Please reach out to me. I am happy to meet you in person, if local to Madison, Ct. or by Zoom or Facetime.
We can chat briefly to see if you want my service. If so, its $50 per half hour, $95 per hour.
