Can you remember that moment when you first realized that you were about to become a parent? It is undeniable that, to some degree or another, we all experienced and played with the fantasy of who we would be as parents and caregivers. Those fantasies also included some hopes and dreams about who this child would be. But how do you make room for the real baby or child, particularly if reality clashes with fantasy?

As a good-enough parent, we know that perfection isn't only unattainable, it's actually detrimental to the parent-child relationship. Not only should we not expect perfection from our child, we shouldn't expect it from ourselves. The act of repairing, of coming back to the table with love, curiosity and humility is what teaches our children that relationships are strong enough to weather any storm.

It's important to remember that mistakes are not failures. Instead, they're a natural part of the learning process. Facing challenges in a calm way, instead of avoiding them, can foster creativity, flexible thinking, executive functioning skills, and ultimately, help our children be more resilient.

Sitting with children when they're crying or in pain is not an easy thing to do. Our job as good-enough parents isn't to take away the feelings; it's to help our children feel like the emotional train they're on won't be a runaway train, and that they don't need to take that ride alone. Here's how to listen like a rabbit.

Join us October 2023 for the introductory session of the Circle of Security Parenting group!

At times, all caregivers feel lost about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

Does your child seems to have more tantrums and more fears than other young children their age? Or the teacher has shared that your preschooler or kindergartener seems to be struggling and not making friends? Maybe your child has gone through something scary, and now you can't leave the room without them clinging to you. Perhaps you have welcomed a baby to the family, and bonding has been challenging. Or the relationship between you and your child is not what you had imagined it would be, and you seem to always end up in a power struggle. Or you'd like to work on the relationship with your autistic child.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 16 years, specializing in infant, early childhood and parent mental health. I can help you address the issues of early childhood (feeding, sleeping, tantrums, bonding difficulties, power struggles, socializing, concentration) so you and your child can have the relationship you want.

Being a young child isn't always easy. Neither is being their parent. Many people feel they're failing at parenting, but the answer isn't to try to be a carbon copy of the perfect parent described in the parenting books. You can be an authentic, responsive version of you as a parent to your particular child. This is where I can help.
