The workshop follows your child’s developmental journey, using Erikson’s stages as a guide.

Topics Include:

Attachment and trust in infancy

Autonomy and independence in toddlers

Initiative, confidence, and guilt in early childhood

Competence and self-worth in school-age children

Identity and independence in adolescence

How unfinished experiences from our own childhood can show up in parenting

Practical tools for responding to everyday challenges with developmental insight

Each Session Includes:

Clear, accessible teaching

Guided reflection (private and optional)

Real-life parenting examples

Simple, practical take-home ideas

This is not about doing everything “right.” It’s about learning how development works, and giving yourself more room to respond thoughtfully.

By the end of the workshop, parents often report:

Feeling less reactive and more grounded

A greater understanding of their child’s emotional needs

Increased confidence in setting limits without shame

More compassion for themselves as parents

Language to explain parenting decisions with clarity and calm

If you’re already in therapy, this workshop can complement that work. If you’re not, it can still be deeply meaningful and useful.

This options includes 8 workshop sessions. This is a more in-depth experience that walks through multiple developmental stages  with additional time to explore how these concepts apply to your child and parenting experience. 

We will focus on the developmental stage your child is currently working through, the following developmental stage your child will be entering, and previous developmental stages that have shaped the current and future developmental stages. 

Investment: $1,000 for the 8 session series.

* We have payment plans available, if interested. If so, please contact us for more information.

This option includes 4 workshop sessions. This is a shorter workshop series designed to introduce the core developmental stages and provide practical tools parents can begin applying immediately for their child's current and future developmental stages.  

We will primarily focus on the developmental stage your child is currently working through, in addition to practical and applicable tools and strategies to help your child accomplish his or her developmental goals. 

Investment: $520 for the 4 session series.

* We have payment plans available, if interested. If so, please contact us for more information.

How is this different from parenting books or online advice?

Books and advice often focus on what to do. This workshop helps you understand why behaviors happen, so your responses can be more flexible, confident, and aligned with your child’s developmental needs.

Is this workshop only offered in a group format?

No, this workshop can be with other parents or one-on-one for a more individualized workshop. 

Do I have to share personal details?

No, sharing is always optional. You are welcome to participate by listening, reflecting privately, and applying what you learn at home. There is no pressure to speak or disclose anything personal.

What if I get emotional?

Strong feelings can sometimes arise when parenting topics are discussed—that’s normal. The workshop is designed to be contained, respectful, and supportive, with clear boundaries to keep discussions grounded. You are always free to step back, take a break, or participate quietly.

Is this only for parents who are struggling?

Not at all, this workshop is for parents who are:

• Curious about their child’s development

• Interested in being more intentional and responsive

• Wanting more understanding—not quick fixes

You don’t need to be in crisis or have a specific problem to benefit.

What ages does this workshop cover?

The material spans infancy through adolescence. Each session focuses on specific developmental stages, and you’ll be encouraged to apply the concepts to your child’s current age (or ages, if you have more than one child).

What if I have more than one child at different ages?

That’s very common. You’ll learn a developmental framework that applies across ages, helping you understand each child’s needs while also noticing patterns in your own reactions as a parent.

I’m already in therapy—can I still attend?

Yes, many parents find this workshop complements therapy well. Because it’s educational rather than therapeutic, it often gives helpful language and perspective that supports ongoing personal work.

Will I be told what I’m doing wrong as a parent?

No, the emphasis is on understanding development, normalizing challenges, and expanding your options—not criticizing or “fixing” parents.

What if my parenting style is different from others in the group?

That’s to be expected since there is no “one right way” to parent. The workshop focuses on developmental needs, not rigid rules, and respects differences in family values, culture, and circumstances.

What does a typical session look like?

Sessions usually include:

• Clear, accessible teaching

• Real-life parenting examples

• Guided reflection (often private)

• Practical ideas you can try at home

Sessions last 60–90 minutes and follow a predictable, supportive structure.

Is this workshop confidential?

Yes, participants are asked to respect privacy and confidentiality. That said, because this is an educational group (not therapy), confidentiality is discussed as a shared responsibility, and personal sharing is always voluntary.

What if I realize I need more support?

That’s okay—and common. The workshop includes guidance on when additional support (such as therapy or coaching) might be helpful, and seeking support is framed as a strength, not a failure.
