| One Step Ahead Parenting was created for two main reasons. First and foremost it was created in response to parents who did not experience the full benefits of being WELL parented, who are working now to reach beyond their experiences to become successful and effective parents themselves. We are also here to help parents who are suffering from the frustrations of so many demands that they are struggling to keep their heads above water.
Secondly, this site is here to facilitate and develop a community for people to talk and exchange support about issues they are facing and to share their successes. We will continue to bring in guest authors and give you the opportunity to hear from children and teens, so you can learn about their perspective and learn from their wisdom. After all it is the children |
The goal of One Step Ahead Parenting is to give you a template and the tools to create successful solutions no matter how old or young your children are. With this system you will overcome the fears, past history and obstacles that keep you from taking your great intentions and becoming the effective parent you want to be.
If only I knew what to say or do
This site will continue to grow in response to what is on your mind. Here you will learn the basic structure of how to approach situations. Over time we will provide innovative training through webinars, short videos of the system in operation, and strive to utilize new technology, such as blog radio, as it becomes available . If you have struggled with parenting your children, sometimes feeling like pulling your hair out or like nothing you do works then this is the site for you. We are passionate about helping you to face and effectively cope with any parenting situation.
A little about how I came to this work
Understanding people has always been a passion of mine. I particularly like neuropsychology as it helps us understand child development and the influence of the magnificent brain. During my career I have worked in hospitals, emergency rooms, community centers and private practice. I have consistently found that there is a real need for a “roadmap” for parenting.
Think about how once we learn to drive, we are able to transfer those skills to driving any car. We know the steps, observe the size and weight of the car, look over the instrument panel and adjust the mirrors and seat, put on the seatbelt, put your foot on the break, put the key into the ignition and turn the engine on, put the car into gear and slowly proceed as you familiarize yourself with the handling of the car.
So it is with the One Step Ahead Parenting System, learn it once and use it for life. Practiced regularly, this system will take you from where you currently are as a parent to your desired destination, close and connected, able to have powerfully positive and sustainable influence with your children.
