Nurturing Confidence and Connection: My Journey to Transformative Parenting
I come from a charming town nestled in Northern Alberta, Canada, where I was raised by loving yet strict German parents. Reflecting on my upbringing, I treasure the values they instilled in me. Their approach was marked by love, consistency, and the non-negotiable ritual of family time over breakfast and dinner. While these moments were cherished, I also struggled with absorbing my mom's anxiety and my dad's temper, leading to lingering scars and a lifetime of anxiety and insecurities.
As I dove deep into learning about child psychology and family therapy at university, I experienced a profound journey of self-discovery. It was during this time that my eyes were opened to the complexities of child development, attachment, and the impact of authoritarian parenting. This exploration led me to a crucial realization - the essential role of a healthy and secure parent-child relationship is the foundation for a parent's ability to parent their child well and for a child's growth and confidence. I knew I wanted to be a parent, and now as a mom of 3 kids under the age 10 I am committed to doing it differently from what I experienced.
Blessed with the opportunity to work alongside remarkable mentors at the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute, I delved into the depths of attachment and neuropsychology. It was during my time working under their wisdom that I learned a powerful truth - playfulness is key to nurturing genuine connections with our children. When we approach parenting with a playful mindset, we allow ourselves to be present, engaged, and responsive. Whether through physical play or imaginative activities, we can connect with our child's world on their level. Their wisdom reshaped my understanding of child development and family dynamics, laying the foundation for The Parent Connection.
Driven by a deep yearning to demystify the art and science of parenting, I established The Parent Connection to share invaluable insights with every parent. My mission is to equip parents with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster genuine connections with their children and navigate the journey of parenting with confidence and joy. I don't like seeing parents struggle, it breaks my heart every time they come to me confused, stressed, frustrated, and burnt out. This should never happen.
Through my work as a child psychologist and play therapist, I have witnessed families experiencing profound transformations when they prioritize nurturing a strong connection with their children. Their testimonials echo the power of leveraging this key relationship for enriched confidence and harmonious family dynamics.
My personal struggles have inspired a passionate mission - to prevent negative legacies and offer parents the guidance they deserve. Parenting is not about control or conformity to societal norms; it's about nurturing incredible kids and fostering deep satisfaction within families.
