Family Services
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to the family services site. You are most likely here because you feel like things are not going as well as you would like with your kids. Know, you are NOT alone and parenting is hard. Let us help.
My name is Kristen Cushman and I have been working with children and families for many years. (You can read my bio on the Meet the Experts page by clicking below). Through teaching, being a mom, a nanny, and a volunteer, I have gained a great deal of knowledge that I feel can benefit others. Sometimes all you need is an outsider looking in.
What is the goal?
My goal is to help you to feel in control and optimistic about the future, and to have fun with your family. If you want to learn more, connect more with your family, and are willing to do a little homework, then Mindful Learners Collaborative is the right place for you to be.
How Can I Help?
Below are just some of the areas that we can work together on....
*behaviors (both old and new)
*parenting conflicts
*stresses of remote/distance learning/ school in general
*confidence and independence in children (or lack thereof)
*schedule overload
*logical consequences
*time management
*change in family dynamics*
How does it work?
First, we would have a conversation about what your concerns or needs are. I would do an intake interview with the adults that are involved. From there we would devise a plan that you would incorporate into your daily lives. There is not a “one size fits all” formula for parenting, therefore, each case is handled differently. If you want to give it a try, feel free to contact Mindful Learners Collaborative to get started. Your initial consultation is free of charge as it is important to make sure we are the right fit together!
