Here are some of the top reasons why a new family reaches out to me:
The increase in work load and the decrease in sleep can make everyone grumpy. Dads may withdraw, and moms may find themselves critical of their partner. We need skills to keep our friendship strong and resume physical intimacy.
Before children, the person who cares the most about a disagreement often wins. After children, both parents care intensely. We need better skills for managing conflict than were necessary before children arrived.
An individual baby may be fussier than we expected, and it's impacting the family. We want to know "Why is my baby crying?"
New parents whose parents divorced want extra support for their relationship so that they don't pass on a legacy of divorce to their kids.
New parents want tools to build a supportive relationship with their kids and with each other, finding their own unique balance of kindness and firmness, so that their child grows up to be kind and confident.
Can you relate? Do you know someone else who can relate? I am here to help! I help couples with young children reduce the long term effects of stress on their relationship and their children. I help fussy babies; critical, overwhelmed moms; and withdrawn dads to find joy and connection together, so that they experience more joy, better sex, an intimate partnership, and supportive relationships with their kids.
