Welcome - I'm Tanya
I’m an educator and writer with a PhD in Education and 33 years of classroom experience. I’m also a mother and grandmother.
Working with children and their parents taught me something that now shapes my parenting work: supporting a child also means supporting the parent. Parents need understanding, clear explanations and practical support as they find their way through everyday challenges.
My own life transitions have also led me to explore how we stay connected to ourselves as our roles, responsibilities and priorities change.
Today, my work follows two paths:
Parenting How-To
Practical guidance for parents of children aged 0–10. I focus on understanding the emotions behind behaviour, keeping boundaries clear and finding responses that support both the child and the parent. My resources include written guides and personalized written support.
Self-Growth
Reflection and practical resources for adults who feel disconnected from themselves, are questioning familiar roles or are looking for a way forward through change.
Both paths bring together research, professional experience and lived experience. I value clear explanations, thoughtful reflection and practical steps you can adapt to your own situation.
Whether you’re trying to understand your child or make sense of changes in your own life, my aim is to help you understand what is happening and find a next step that feels right for you.
