What to Do Instead: Guiding Kids and Teens with Empathy and Trust
As parents, we want to help our kids get along with each other, respect and set healthy boundaries, and develop self-discipline. We know that the old ways of harsh discipline and unrealistic expectations don’t work. So what do we do instead?
Join me for this live online workshop (part of the Attached at the Heart Parenting Program from Nurturings/API) and learn positive, effective ways to guide your children.
Next session: Thursday, January 9th, 12-2pm PST

From Only to Older: Helping Your First Child Adjust to Being a Sibling
Going from being the only child to being an older sibling is tough on every first child, but there are things parents can do to help the love of their life feel secure through this transition.

Nurture: Giving Young Children the Loving Care They Need
Why are our babies so dependent? And what do they need from us to grow into adults with healthy independence? Some think that pushing them to become independent as early as possible is the best course, but science says different. Children are dependent for a reason. It’s our job to meet those dependency needs, so they can grow out of them.
Join me for this 90 minute online workshop (part of the Attached at the Heart Parenting Program from Nurturings/API) and learn how you can give your infants and young children the kind of care they need to feel safe and loved, so they can grow and thrive.

We don’t need more obedient adults. We don’t need another generation of people who were taught to color inside the lines and think inside the box.
So why is so much of the child rearing and discipline advice being given to parents (often uninvited) still geared to teach children to be compliant and obedient? Much of that advice comes from a place of mistrust in the inherent goodness of humanity, and flat-out fear. And it serves to preserve the power dynamics that are serving our species and our planet so poorly. Let’s teach our kids to think for themselves, question authority, and imagine a way to live in the world that is not only more sustainable, but also more equitable, just and peaceful. I know that sometimes we just want our kids to do what we say, because we are overwhelmed, but if we change the way we look at them and learn some new skills, we can raise the kind of rebels who will change the world – and – who we will enjoy living with!
Join me for this 90 minute online workshop and learn strategies for raising healthy, resilient humans with the authenticity, agency, compassion and courage that the future stewards of our planet need to have.
