The Role Model Parenting model allows mums and dads to enjoy parenting together - or apart. Being a great mum or dad doesn’t mean you should lose yourself but it allows you to become more of yourself.
If you feel that your relationship has deteriorated since having children and you’re finding parenting all-consuming then you may need to know that you’re not alone. Not everyone tells you but many parents are feeling the same way.
After 40 years of helping families and children, I have seen many couples lose their formerly loving relationship after kids. We all need to feel loved, so often this love is now reserved only for the children.
Our children become all we live and work for and we are driven to give them the best life possible. When it comes to our kids we plan everything, we read everything, we monitor everything, and we might also find that we over-excuse over-protect, and under-expect.
It seemed to work for us for a while, that adoring face, that angelic smile but soon, when we couldn’t cave in and had to say “no” we realized that the tantrums weren’t stopping and the back chat was getting worse with age not better.
If this is sounding familiar, like I said, you are not alone.
You may have noticed crazy out-of-control children belonging to those other families you know, it’s not your kids… but is it?
Its ok, we can help. We have helped hundreds of families just like yours, learn to parent together with a structure that makes sense, is simple, logical and beneficial for children and parents alike.
With a few effective changes in the way you speak to your children, your partner and other family members who help you raise your children, you too will be delighted to have the results that other families we’ve had the pleasure of working with have found.;

Testimonials
“Sharon helped us realise the importance of fostering our daughters’ confidence and individual strengths. She helped us to realise that we should be encouraging them to think and act in a positive and thoughtful way.
Not only have my husband and I learned a great deal from Sharon, our girls also benefited from her insight and experience. She has brought so much joy to our family while we learn how to guide our little ones.”
“With these gentle but consistent boundaries, my children flourished.”
“We had the pleasure of working with Sharon for 3 weeks, during her intensive parenting workshop. Her methods transformed our household from a stressful environment to a harmonious one. We have two little boys who can be quite a challenge at time, but the suggestions and information Sharon gave us worked really well and made a lot of sense to us and really helped to improve their behaviour.
Sharon is a really delightfully engaging person who is very easy to connect with and has a sense of fun. We felt comfortable and relaxed straight away talking with her. She went above and beyond with us to make sure we felt supported and on one occasion even offered to come over and mind our boys so we could go to dinner and have some couple time.”
“Sharon’s own children are great examples of how her parenting skills raise really happy and respectful young adults. They also seem to really adore her and we believe that’s what every parent wants.”
