For Parents
Parenting is a journey.... it is hard & tiring, but it is a journey be enjoyed, not filled with overwhelming pressure. You do not have to navigate it alone!
Join me for parent /infant guidance classes, workshops and other events!
Workshops & Classes
Respectful parenting classes
Inspired by Magda Gerber's Educaring® Approach, these classes offer dedicated time discussing respectful parenting practice & opportunity for parents to engage in sensitive observation of their child during play while their children explore the play space freely with other children of a similar developmental stage.
In person classes Parent & child together
Parents & children are invited to join me for class time in an intentionally planned environment that allows for children to safely explore at their own pace while parents quietly observe. This class includes discussion & parent resources to support questions families might have about their child and this particular stage of life. Class time 1 hr
I am no longer running these classes however, when my Foundations course runs we often host single FREE sessions. Message me for details!
PARENT GROUP workshops
I would love to connect with your parent group! Contact me and we can discuss site specific topics and workshops that best fit your group's needs.
zoom chats
An online chat for parents! Joining parents with children of a similar developmental stage, participants have time to share their observations from the week, discuss respectful parenting strategies, and have time for questions ensuring that each member of the parenting community has time for their voice to be heard. Class time is a weekly online session (1 hr each class)
Individual chats can be booked upon interest. Message me for details!
Classes are hosted mainly online to allow participants to join from all over the world! However, if enough interest is generated locally or if you want to host me in your area, please let me know and arrangements can be made!
