Guidance | Support | Mentoring |Classes

Willow Parenting, created by Parenting Consultant Sophie Robertson, is designed to provide practical guidance, support, mentoring and classes for parents of infants through teenagers. With individual parenting classes or on-going mentoring, I help parents with both the common, every day challenges of parenting as well as specific challenges your family may be experiencing including supporting children with exceptional needs, teen issues, school placement, managing difficult behavior, and more. Appointments are available by phone, video conference or in-person. My goal is to find solutions that are practical and sustainable for each family situation.

MY APPROACH

  • LISTEN

    I listen to the parenting challenge(s) you are having with your child and ask questions that help us get to the crux of the problem. What you tell me will reveal your values, priorities and style of parenting.

  • EDUCATE

    Knowing what is an appropriate expectation of your child is essential for effective parenting. As we work together, I will help you understand how your child is developing - cognitively, emotionally and physically - so that you can adjust your expectations and avoid unnecessary frustration and friction.

  • SOLVE

    There is no one answer to being a responsive and effective parent. I will offer options and possible solutions to try with your child. It may be an easy tweak to your parenting approach or it may be more complex with multiple strategies tried over time.
