Are you trying to be the best parent you can be- but feel like sometimes you could use some help?
Transformative Parenting offers support services for parents that help them to do their job with greater confidence and ease. Whether it is through personalized parent consulting, workshops or courses, we strive to help you create strong family relationships and raise children that thrive.
We feel that changes in our culture have made it more difficult than ever to do our job as parents. Our mission is to help restore parental intuition and support and we do that through a number of different services:
- Personalized Parent Consulting- in person or on the telephone, to help you make sense of behavior issues you are seeing in your household and come up with solutions that are not only effective, but that feel better than the popular parenting tricks and techniques.
- Parenting Courses- in person or on the internet. We offer courses such as: Making Sense of Preschoolers (6 weeks), the all-ages Power to Parent series (8 weeks), and Making Sense of Adolescence (8 weeks) that will help you better understand your child and how to handle some of the most common child development and behavior issues.
- Classes and Workshops- also in person or on the internet. These are shorter offerings that focus on more specific issues. Classes are usually 2 hours and address one particular topic. Workshops are often 1 or 2 days long and cover broader topics like natural discipline practices.
"Todd has been very efficient in our use of time, but also has gotten to the core of what he wanted to share with us in a very powerful and respectful way. His compassionate, astute and intuitive nature has zeroed in on problems we have had that we weren’t aware of and has given us a new scope for regenerating our relationships with each other, our children and so, our entire family.
Transformative Parenting for us has been about transforming our reactions so that we are still the parents to our children, but that we do it in ways that are truly compassionate and proactive.
As I looked back from this summer to last I realized that something was really different in my relationships with my children. I no longer felt lost – or that I was losing them. Something had changed in a huge way. The major key in that change was our work with Todd and Transformative Parenting. I know that my husband and I still have important changes to make in our lives with our children, and much still to contemplate and change, but I must say that I am eternally grateful that I picked up the phone that day and called Todd. Our lives, and our children’s lives, would not be the same today."

Many of the programs we offer at Transformative Parenting are based on the work of our friend and mentor, Dr. Gordon Neufeld.
