Parenting Support & Education in Newmarket
What exactly is parenting support & education?
As much as we wish they did, kids aren’t born with instruction manuals. Trying to figure out the nuances of parenting in this digital age can feel very overwhelming. We were never meant to parent in isolation, hence the need for a village! (And now, parenting consultants!)
To assist you in navigating these phases, it’s crucial to grasp social and emotional development, along with age-appropriate expectations. This knowledge empowers you to parent with self-assurance and closeness.
Each stage of a child’s growth comes with its own new and different challenges. Part of supporting you with figuring out how to navigate those stages is helping you understand social emotional development and age-appropriate expectations so you can parent successfully and with confidence.
Whether you’re lying awake at night wondering how you could have handled a situation differently, thinking about how you can raise a successful human, or are just grappling with the daily trials of parenthood, a seasoned parenting educator is there to support you in supporting your little one.
Tara’s extensive background, which includes over two decades of experience working with children and families, allows her a unique perspective on supporting parents, which validates your needs and concerns, while also building important life skills for your children.
