I'm a Certified Parenting Coach and Educator, an expat, Third Culture Kid, and a mother to 2 amazing & 'highly sensitive' kids.
I spent the last 14 years researching and learning from top parenting experts, like Dr. Dan Siegel & Dr Gordon Neufeld, but my greatest learning came from my own parenting mistakes.
Soon after I became a mother I started reading and enrolling in online classes. Slowly my whole perception of parenting started to shift. **I was shocked by the huge gap between all the research and science in child development, and the most commonly used parenting practices.**
The more I read the more I became passionate about parenting.** I realized that children are not clay to be molded, but they are plants to be nurtured. And each one of them is their own plant with different needs and potentials.**
**I shifted my perception from trying to control my kids, to simply being in charge of their development. Helping them make sense of their feelings, discover the world around them, and learn new ways of expressing their emotions while also providing them with a safe space to grow.**
And now as they're getting older I'm enjoying watching them make sense of the world. Our strong relationship and connection makes it easy for us to resolve problems without power struggles! And as a parent, I no longer worry about being judged by others. Instead, I feel a deep sense of confidence and joy!
