PARENTING AT ALL STAGES OF LIFE CAN BRING UP OUR MOST VULNERABLE SELVES, CAUSE US TO LASH OUT, TURN INWARD, OR MEET A SIDE OF US THAT IS SCARY. YOU MIGHT STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ANGER, OR PERFECTIONISM THAT IS ONLY MADE WORSE BY THE CHALLENGES OF BEING A PARENT. OR, YOUR MARRIAGE AND FRIENDSHIPS MAY SUFFER DUE TO THE DEMANDS OF YOUR JOB, BEING A PARENT. PERHAPS YOU DON’T WANT TO REPEAT THE MISTAKES YOUR PARENTS MADE, OR FIND YOURSELF IN VERY DARK PLACES WHEN IT COMES TO RELATING TO YOUR CHILD.

CONSULTATION SERVICES:
EDUCATION AND SUPPORT FOR EMBRACING YOUR GIFTED, TWICE EXCEPTIONAL, NEURODIVERGENT OR SENSITIVE CHILD
Maybe you’re a veteran parent who is used to IEP goals, speech therapy, OT, and fighting for your child’s social and emotional needs in the school, and who knows exactly what diagnosis fits your child. Maybe you’re somewhere in between and no label seems to fit, but you struggle to understand your child’s exceptional needs. I use the DIR model, current research in interpersonal neurobiology, and child development to guide parents in connecting more deeply with the needs underneath the behavior of gifted, quirky, and neurodiverse children.
