Are you frustrated in your current relationship? Do you and your partner seem to have the same arguments over and over again? Has your partner told you things are not going well?
Pay attention! Don't dismiss their complaints! Kathleen can help you minimize the negativity and find solutions.
My passion is helping people have GREAT relationships - parent/child relationships, extended family relationships, and especially great intimate relationships. My focus is on helping people connect with the people who matter most to them, and to learn how to connect in the ways that matter most.
Gifted kids have special needs. Here are some of the things that Talented and Gifted children have told us they need help with. They need to:
“...get my teachers to listen to me about being bored.”
“...not get so stressed out about every thing.”
“...find out how to get out of doing busy-work.”
“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”
“...know how to get along better with kids who aren’t T & G.”
“...quit acting dumb to get other kids to like me.”
“...not feel embarrassed when kids say, ‘What’s Target Class?’”
“...know how to get along like a regular person.”
“...know what to say when I make a mistake.”
Parenting is much harder than what the cute Instagram posts show. You love your kids, but communicating with them has become so difficult and you find that patterns that used to work well aren't effective anymore. Schedules, school, responsibilities, and judgment from others can be so overwhelming. I'm thankful you're seeking help. You don't have to figure all of it out by yourself. Let's work together to find solutions and create new patterns that help your children feel loved and more responsible.
They didn't come with instruction manuals, so let's work together to explore and implement different ways of parenting in order to prepare them for a life a success - and hopefully reduce the stress until they get there.
Parenting can be soooo challenging, especially in this day and age as couples are often both working full-time while trying to raise socially conscious, kind, children in a thriving environment. Also, throw in the step-parenting element very common nowadays and it's gets even more challenging. I am a parent of two now almost grown children and also a stepmom to two grown children, so I understand from a personal level the intricacies of blended families after divorce or the death of a spouse.
I'm dedicated to guiding parents in nurturing happy, healthy, and resilient children, offering practical insights and strategies to navigate challenges, build confidence, strengthen family bonds, and create a nurturing environment.
