Enlightened Parenting - Ellen Gottlieb

Published author and founder of Enlightened Parenting, Ellen Gottlieb will work with elementary parents on conscious parenting. Enlightened Parenting is a coaching practice intended to teach parents and caregivers how to raise their children more effectively. She teaches specific, counter-intuitive strategies about how to interact with children in each moment in order to foster deeper connections and help them to realize their authentic potential. She advocates walking the parent/child path in a true partnership, rather than a hierarchy. It is both a simple and complex practice. Unlike other approaches, this approach teaches parents how to raise their children more mindfully. The potential benefits can be measured as parents witness the growth of self-confident children who steer themselves toward wiser and safer choices, and who remain true to themselves as they navigate their developmental stages.
