Solutions for Everyday Life with Children


Do you sometimes worry about your child? Do you have a great kid who can be a challenge? Do you feel like you need a fresh approach? Being a parent is easier when you have good information and supportive advice. You'll find both in the questions and answers on this site about bringing up kids.

If you'd like solutions designed just for you,  I can help. I meet with families in the Bay Area (and by Skype or telephone all over the world). Most parents discover that a short term consultation leads to long term results. You can choose a single visit, a short term package plan, or a flexible hourly rate.
