What We Do
A Happier, More Peaceful Family
We help parents to become more knowledgeable, confident, and thoughtful in their approach to raising their children
by providing a variety of resources for connection and education.
The Early Years
The first three to five years are the most important for the developing brain and heart of a tiny human. These years are also the most challenging for parents. It is good to know that there are resources available so that you don't have to raise your child alone. There is so much you can do to support yourself and raise a healthy child whose needs for love, safety and belonging are met. Learning the skills for gentle guidance and positive discipline will give you a sense of competence and more peace of mind.
School Age Children
All children need to know they are loved, that they belong, and that they are valuable and powerful. They need opportunities to learn from both successes and failures, and to discover how much they can do. Some things such as birth order, temperament, gender, or circumstances are not within a parent's control. However, a parent or adult caregiver's responses to a child's behavior have everything to do with how a child sees himself, how much he cooperates, learns, solves problems, and becomes a kind and respectful member of society. Parents' ability to influence is directly proportional to the quality of the relationships they have with each child.
