As parents, you are in the middle of development. Your child is growing up and you have to follow and offer appropriate support. In order to let your child become a stable and safe young adult.

As parents, you’re also developing your own skills and strengths to cope with the needs of your children. Sometimes parenting is not that easy, you expected something different from yourself as a parent, from your partner or from your child. There are difficulties in communication and sometimes even conflicts. Or there are individual difficulties within yourself or your child.

Sometimes the development of a child is delayed or is with more challenges. You as parents have to adapt and search for the best approach to help your child grow up as independent as possible. For all questions about parenting, you can come to me.

I can help you develop your parenting skills to meet your child’s needs. So, your child can develop too, in his own way and at his own pace. I help you see what your child needs in the specific phases of his/her life are and how you as a parent can support your child during this phase.
