About InParentis
We know all parents want what’s best for their children, but at times it can be difficult to decide what “best” is. Our aim is to help you figure out what this means for you. We blend your goals, values, and individual family needs with our expertise. As child-parent experts, we each have a background in development, psychology, family dynamics and parenting — a unique combination. Our lifespan perspective — gained from extensive work with children, adolescents and adults — can help you anticipate the next steps in your family’s development to safeguard against potential difficulties in the future. As psychologists* who are moms, we know first-hand how challenging and humbling parenting can be. Through our workshops, talks and coaching, we hope to make your parenting experience fulfilling, less stressful and more joyful.
We are also dedicated to helping anyone in a parenting role: advising extended family members, teachers and caregivers as well as lecturing and consulting to schools and other organizations.
