This session, on MINDFUL PARENTING, is led by RACHEL WIGGLESWORTH, local parenting educator and founder of Growing Great Families.
RACHEL has a master’s degree (M.Ed.) in Family Education with a Teaching Certificate in Parent Education from the University of Minnesota. She has partnered with hundreds of parents and families as an educator and parent coach, and is the founder of Growing Great Families. Rachel worked as a doula for over 10 years supporting women and families through childbirth and labor, and during the prenatal and postpartum period. She lives in Jackson, WY with her husband and two teenage children.
Rachel teaches parenting classes and works with families individually. Working with Rachel can help you understand the world from your children’s perspective so that you better understand your children’s behaviors, and feel empowered to respond in a way that supports your children’s development. Rachel emphasizes the importance of a strong parent-child relationship, and the importance of relating to a child with sensitivity and empathy while at the same time establishing boundaries and limits that teach the child or teen kind and respectful behavior. There is no one right way to parent. With this in mind, together with Rachel you will share ideas, discuss concepts about parenting and child development, and explore strategies that feel good for your individual family's personalities, values, goals, and needs.
