“There is no such thing as a perfect parent so just be a real one”
-Sue Atkins
Every day you struggle with your child. There are anger, meltdowns, absolute refusals to eat or sleep, the school has you on speed dial and every time you ask something of your child they kick, scream and cry. You carry fear in your heart that you just aren’t reaching your child in a way that is helping them, no matter the love you have for them. It consumes you and that makes all of your other relationships at home, work and with friends completely strained.
No one can really understand what it’s like to have a child that struggles beyond the normal stuff of being a kid. You don’t dare talk about it because you fear being judged. What would it be like if you had someone who has been there and helped many other parents, like you, navigate the challenges of parenting while still trying to find some peace and happiness for yourself?
As a Mom of over 20 years and a Counsellor who works with families, I know what it’s like to parent unique kiddos. While it’s hard, it can be the most rewarding thing you’ve done. I help overwhelmed, at the end of their rope parents build a strong healthy family, get creative in their parenting approach, and feel more comfortable in their skills. I help parents find enjoyment in their day to day. Want to find your parenting super power? Contact me to book a free 15 minute phone consultation and let the adventures begin!
