Grounded Parenting

Be The Parent

Your Child Needs

No parent starts off

knowing how they will parent.

Without Conscious Effort, Our Parenting Methods, Rooted in the Ways We Were Parented, Create Conflict Instead of Connection.

The authoritarian way of ‘do as I say’ parenting most of us have been taught creates chaos and frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us with feelings of shame, failure, and broken distant relationships with our children.

When we parent our children consciously through connection we can break the cycle of painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children.

It’s Never Too Late to
Become the parent your Child Needs

No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, you get to decide what it's going to look like tomorrow because the only thing you have the power to control in your child’s life is your disposition, your mood, your energy and the way you feel when you’re with them.

Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is.

None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be and watch as our idealistic imaginings get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.

Hi! I’m Shira Silverstein

I became a parenting coach when my 3rd child - my free spirited, superhuman son with the strength of a bull - forced me to reevaluate the way I had been parenting before he came along. I realized I had been parenting unconsciously, often irritated, annoyed and angry, and although my then 5 and 2 year old were still happy, well-adjusted, smart and incredible kids, my youngest woke me up from a fog.

I then became committed to having a different kind of relationship with my children than my parents had with me, and everything changed. I stopped reacting the only way I had known, and instead focused on building a conscious, intentional connection with my kids. I can proudly say I'm becoming a more grounded parent.

Through my personal parenting journey I’ve become deeply passionate about supporting other parents in this life-changing work. I know it's possible to create a relationship with children based on mutual trust, understanding, and care. I believe all children deserve to be guided and loved by the best version each of us has to offer them, as parents.

The traditional

‘power-over’ parenting model isn’t working.

It’s exhausting and makes you feel like you’re not doing a good job.

But that’s not the truth. I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be, so we end up slipping into the patterns of yelling or impatience that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.

Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness where I will hold space for us to create a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.

How It Works:

When you book a call with me, we meet however is best for you, on zoom, on a walking call, or in person at the park, and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.

I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.

If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
