Caregiver Consultations
As parents, we all desire to develop secure relationships with our children, developing a sturdy foundation for them to explore and grow in the world. Yet sometimes we find ourselves wondering; Am I getting through to my child? Am I being too rigid? Too lenient? Will this challenging behavior ever get better or will I always sound like a broken record?​At Balancing Nurture, we recognize what a true gift and challenge parenting can be. Research shows that "good enough" parenting occurs when parents are attuned to their child's needs 30%; it is the repair after "relationship rupture" that develops secure attachment (Circle of Security®).​At Balancing Nurture, our practitioners know there is no such thing as a "perfect parent". We actively listen to parenting stresses and concerns without judgement working to create a space to allow a parent to feel safe, seen, soothed and secure (Dan Siegel). Balancing Nurture provides parenting consultations to aid parents in reflecting on their own internal experience during challenging parenting moments.
