Parents

working with parents is about understanding the emotional world that exists between parent and child.
Here, reflection replaces reaction — and listening becomes a way of connecting, not controlling.
In this space, parents begin to see their children and themselves with new eyes, nurturing growth, patience, and a deeper sense of relationship.
