I believe that all children are born with unique neurobiological and temperamental systems, primed to form strong attachments to their caretakers. —Dr. Jill
A Personalized Approach to Mental Health
Over the past 20 years in private practice, I have developed an integrated, relationship-based approach to working with children, teenagers, and their parents. In my experience, all children are born with unique neurobiological and temperamental systems, which are naturally primed to form strong attachments to their caretakers.
From the moment of birth, each child’s exquisite make-up is already present. For example, some children may be described as “easy” or “typically developing.” However, others might be more intense, sensitive, or reactive. Similarly, just like every child, all parents also have their own unique neurobiological and temperamental systems.
Building Connections with Families and Communities
How do we create the best fit between parent and child? To begin, we start by understanding the current research on child development. This includes learning what to expect of our child at each stage and how to build on their innate strengths. Next, we combine this knowledge with a clear understanding of who we are as unique individuals. By doing so, we can build on our own strengths as parents.
At first, this might seem like a huge undertaking, or even one you believe is too late to try. However, it’s never too late in your parenting journey. Nurture yourself with the information and tools I have carefully curated for you. Your relationship is worth the work!
