Parent the Child You Have
Many parents start visualizing who their child will be and what their future will look like well before the baby enters the family. They know to expect plenty of surprises and challenges, but it’s so exciting to imagine all the possibilities coming along with the arrival of the baby. Eventually those visions become reality, and it’s not always as we expected.
Can You Be a Perfect Parent?
I used to think I could be a perfect parent. Obviously that was before I actually had any kids. I was admittedly idealistic, and I truly believed that if I could read the right books, follow the right experts, and hone my instincts then I could be the perfect parent I envisioned.
Hi there! I’m Allyn
I'm a Master Certified Parent Coach and the founder of Child Connection.
After a stint in corporate accounting and a decade in early childhood classrooms with my master’s in early childhood ed, I found my true calling: helping parents achieve lasting success in their parenting goals.
I’ve completed my certification at the Jai Institute for Parenting;
I’ve completed coursework in interpersonal neurobiology with Dan Siegel;
and I’m a graduate of SmartBody SmartMind with Irene Lyon.
I see parenting as one big, ever-changing experiment. By embracing this mindset, I've learned to lighten up on myself and show my children that mistakes are just stepping stones to growth.
I try to embody my three core values – Acceptance, Curiosity, and Joy – in every aspect of my work.
With that, plus a healthy dose of humor, and a knack for breaking down complex concepts, I help parents navigate their unique journeys.
