Discover the Guiding Mindset: Cultivate Joyful, Individualized Parenting to Unlock Every Child's True Potential
The Guiding Mindset is centered on nurturing a joyful parenting approach that embraces challenges by recognizing and honoring children as unique individuals. It aims to help them reach their fullest potential by respecting their inner "essence". Going beyond traditional parenting, it acknowledges each child's uniqueness and uses evidence-based strategies and developmental insights to craft personalized nurturing approaches.
This foundation empowers parents with the mindset and tools to support each child effectively, regardless of their individual characteristics or developmental stage. Whether you're at the beginning of your parenting journey or managing a vibrant household, the Guiding Mindset offers innovative ideas and insights tailored to fit your child's and family's unique dynamics, preparing children to thrive as thoughtful and proactive members of an ever-changing world.
I'm Tammy, and I help parents unlock the joy of parenting to overcome challenges and foster every child’s unique potential.
I believe parenting is a joy! It can also be hard! I understand the many challenges we face as parents. I’ve been there! I understand the needs and behaviors of children. I’ve been there too. I believe the difference we make for children today truly does create a better tomorrow. I believe every child is an unique and perfect individual with unlimited potential and possibility. I am dedicated to empowering parents with the principles and tools to most successfully guide their children in the unfolding of that potential and possibility. Using these principles to positively resolve the challenges and difficult behaviors we face in our daily so-important role of supporting and nurturing children.
I have worked with children and families for over 40 years now. I’ve worn a variety of ‘hats’ over the years: preschool teacher, school administrator, Montessori educator, college instructor, teacher trainer, consultant, parenting educator, and parenting coach. The best hat of all, however, has been as Mom and Gammy. I’ve also been a single mom and I’m a stepmom. Parenting has truly brought my greatest joys — as well as some of my greatest challenges. Together my husband and I have four truly awesome kids, in a blended family. They’re all adults now, and I couldn’t be prouder! In fact, I’m proud to be partnering with my son, his wife, and my daughter in bringing The Guiding Mindset to you.
Making a difference for children and families is my passion! I look forward to supporting YOU in fully experiencing the joy of parenting.
