Welcome to Becoming a 3D Parent

“The answers were not in a book or a workshop. The answer was right there in front of me … I had to get to know [my daughter] on a much deeper level …”
Welcome to the 3D Parent Podcast! This week on the podcast I will be giving you an introduction to my background, my passions and how parenting with dignity, direction and deep connection can change your relationship with not only your child, but with your spouse as well.
Before I became a certified parent coach, I taught in various educational settings for over 10 years and have ALWAYS had a passion for helping children. But when I became a parent, and couldn’t find the answer to help my child, I realized a new passion: teaching parents how to cultivate deep connections and understanding with their children.
Things You Will Learn
[2:09] I share a bit about my story and background, and how I became a parent coach and founded the 3D Parent.
[8:21] Finding parent coaching enabled me to try to become a better parent for my child. But what I realized was instead of trying to mold her into what I thought she should be, I needed to spend more time learning and connecting with her on a deeper level.
[9:59] As my husband and I took this journey, me mostly bringing him along for the ride, we removed all of the techniques we were using that weren’t working. We made it safe for our daughter to experience her emotions and we started to see a shift in her behavior almost immediately.
[11:08] With these skills, I went back to work part time at a local elementary school and developed a social and emotional learning program for the local public school.
[11:44] After the birth of my third and fourth children. I stepped away from the program and waited for my next opportunities to present themselves. I found these opportunities in working at Northwest Family Therapy and doing a short segment regularly on a local news station.
[13:45] The goal of the 3D Parent is to support and empower parents, and help them build strong lasting family relationships.

“And as we stayed present to her and helped her make sense of these feelings and emotions inside her, and stayed present to her, we started seeing radical changes in her behavior, and our relationship grew and deepened.”
