Parenting is one of those things that nobody really "gets" until they're going through it. That old saying comes to mind; "It takes a village..." and I get it! Unfortunately, we generally don't have a village to help, even though it would be nice to have a cook, a laundry person, a bus driver, etc.... I am a parent to older kids, younger kids, half-siblings, and step-children (not to mention, I came from a blended family myself!). I can offer help as a result of my own parenting experiences, as well as based on training, statistics, and "best practices." I understand that every parenting style is different and do my best to respect your choices as a parent, as well as to provide a variety of parenting skills to meet you where you're at in your parenting journey.
But I also understand that it's not just about parenting kids, it is about you: the parent, the person, the one who has to shoulder their own needs, desires, and burdens (as well as spouses and/or their kids!). I would be honored to support you in the midst of it all.
