Heather Can Help You If...

You struggle with any of the following daily issues or larger questions:

  • I don’t want to overschedule or push my child, but I worry that they will fall behind all the other kids.

  • Childhood seems different now than when I was young - these kids have so many more activities and so much more pressure. Life is just busier now for families than it used to be.

  • I didn’t expect homework to be such a fight but it feels like a daily battle.

  • Transitions are a major struggle for my child.

  • I would like to take a step back and think about the adult I want my child to become.

  • I don't want my child to fail or to feel bad about themself but I want them to be resilient. How much should I protect her from frustration and disappointment?

  • Mornings are chaos in our house - everyone is tired, stressed and rushing. How can we get our days off to a better start?

  • I used to be so close to my child, but now that they're a teenager, I feel like I barely know them and we argue all the time.

  • My child seems to whine or pitch a fit whenever they don’t get their way.

  • My child struggles with anxiety, ADHD, or other issues. How can I best help them?

  • My child seems to need reminders or help with everything, from getting dressed to cleaning up to doing homework. Why aren’t they more responsible?

  • My kids fight all the time. How can I make our house more peaceful?

  • I don’t want my child to be spoiled, but sometimes it’s just easier to give in than to say no.

  • I want my child to get into a good college, so I feel like I have to start thinking about it now to make sure they have enough accomplishments to stand out.

  • My kids don't seem to listen to me at all, and I hate having to repeat myself. How can I stop the nagging?

  • My partner and I struggle to agree on how to parent consistently.

  • I wonder what school will be the right fit for my child and when the best time is to make a change.

  • My child struggles to fall asleep without me or often comes looking for me after I put them to bed.

  • I want to make sure my child is always challenged enough and reaching their full potential.
