Parenting Resources

You don’t need a bag of parenting “tricks”—but having the right tools can make a world of difference. That starts with understanding your own parenting style, learning how your child’s brain processes emotion, and exploring the science of secure attachment. (Spoiler: it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present.) I’ll be sharing some of my favorite resources here, including a powerful video from Dr. Daniel Siegel that breaks down what’s really going on in your child’s brain when big feelings take over. Because when you understand the why behind the behavior, everything starts to shift.

Feel free to explore the resources below. These tools and insights come from respected experts in the field and from the training I received through the Jai Institute for Parenting. Each one is grounded in connection-based parenting, attachment science, and the latest research on child development and emotional regulation. I’ve gathered them here not to overwhelm you, but to support you in your own time, at your own pace.
