Parents never stop being parents. We provide support to parents and caregivers no matter what age their children are. As a parent of 8 children ranging between the ages of 19-38 and versed in developmental psychology and brain development, Sophie is very equipped and competent in providing coaching and consulting support to anyone caring for children.
Conscious parenting with deep awareness that most behaviour is an attempt to communicate is a philosophy we greatly respect. No behaviour requires “harsh corporal style punishment”, but rather understanding and positive discipline. Demands and Commands in a drill sergeant style create resistance in most people. There is a simple language we promote to use with others, no matter what their age, to gain cooperation and respect. You need not be “The Bad Guy” getting children to do what they must with this language that we teach. You can parent without threats, anger and punishment. Children disrespect parents who rant, rave and throw out empty threats. This is not permissive parenting; it is a self-controlled, mature adult-style communication, not an out-of-control adult tantrum style.
We carefully consider the neurobiology of behaviour and psycho socio emotional needs of individuals.
