How to work with The Parenting Collaborative

You’re not the problem. The missing translation is.

The reason parenting feels this hard isn't because you're not trying hard enough. It's because most advice treats all

kids the same — and yours isn't.

I'm Lauren. I hold a master's degree in child and adolescent development, and I've spent years translating what the research actually says about kids into what works at 7am with your specific child.

Here's how we work together:

  • Support for Schools

    Schools shouldn’t leave families unsupported. I offer workshops, trainings, and parent groups that blend research with real-life tools.

    School Partnerships
    Professional development for educators + parent education nights.

    Custom Workshop
    Tailored sessions on tantrums, sibling conflict, secure attachment, and more.

  • Parenting Groups

    Guided conversations + practical strategies in a supportive circle.

    Excited about the idea of joining a casual virtual parenting group with other parents who get what you're going through? We're putting together some parenting groups for folks with kiddos in similar age ranges and developmental stages. Just fill out this quick questionnaire and we'll add you to the wait list!

Your next step

Parenting doesn’t get easier with hacks. It gets clear with the right map, and someone walking it with you. That’s what I do.

Where do you want to start?

"Ever since my son was born, I’ve known what type of in-depth info I’ve wanted to know about him - the deeper layers that I couldn’t see but knew were being impacted by his environment, our family, his friends, and schooling. But I couldn’t find that information until I went back to school to learn about child development - how children develop across various life stages. Having access to child development information, studies, and theories that shape our current day parenting and schooling practices has been a game changer when it comes to raising my kids. I’m talking about the knowledge and understanding I’ve gained that helps me interact with my kids in a whole new, more empathetic way.

Here’s the deal: if we want to help kids live healthy, happy lives, it all starts with their parents and caregivers. That’s why I’ve zeroed in on giving parents and caregivers access to crucial info about their kids to help them develop the social and personal intellectual skills that can be transformative for both kids and adults involved "
