Why join The Resonant Parenting Project?

So often, the message in my inbox goes something like this:

“I’m a parent and I don’t know how best to support my child with their anxiety (or anger or big emotions) . I’m feeling overwhelmed and not sure if I'm doing the right thing. Can you help?”

I’m Dr Genevieve, and I’ve created the Resonant Parenting Project to support parents to connect with their sensitive, strong-willed kids, themselves and find inspiration in a supportive community of others on the same journey.

My work in conscious parenting and sensitive kids is also inspired by the research of Dr Elaine Aron, who brought the term Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and Highly Sensitive Child (HSC) into widespread use. I completed Dr Aron’s online training to become an “HSP-knowledgeable” therapist in 2019, and many parents I work with find me via her website.

What Is “Resonant” Parenting?

Our children are like tuning forks — they pick up on our every emotion, gesture and glance. By learning simple practices for paying more attention to what’s going inside of us, and attuning more deeply with our child, we can establish “resonance” — a dynamic sense of connection that helps previously insurmountable parenting challenges start to disappear.

Resonant Parenting brings together the two great passions that have guided my life — my love of the harmonies I experience while playing the piano and singing; and the joy I find in supporting people to regain the self-awareness, confidence and clarity we all innately possess, but can lose touch with as we suffer life’s setbacks.

You certainly don’t need to be musical to practice Resonant Parenting. You just need to be willing to tune in more deeply to yourself, and your child.

Based on all I’ve learned about attachment, attunement and co-regulation through years of study, and working with families, the practices I share will allow you to turn:

• Overwhelm into confidence

• Self-doubt into empowerment

• Feeling frazzled and drained into joy, ease and flow

Every Tuesday morning, I will be sending a brief edition of the The Resonant Parenting Project with practical tools, tips and research-backed guidance on themes such as:

• Finding resonance with our kids

• Co-regulating our nervous systems

• Meltdowns and intense emotional reactions

• Not listening

• Power struggles (morning, bedtime)

• Technology and screens (how to manage video gaming, smartphones, Youtube, social media)

• Navigating the school system

• Supporting your child with anger, anxiety, friendship difficulties, bullying, self-esteem, sibling tensions

• Life adjustments, transitions, grief and loss

• Having our own buttons pushed

• Managing our own stress levels and overwhelm

• Co-parenting with a narcissistic ex

• Parenting as a team

• Using parenting as a mirror to our own unhealed wounds, to help us transform

I will write in bite-sized chunks since I appreciate how busy parents are.

I’ll also be sending a monthly video check-in, and details of my online courses, starting with From Overwhelm to Calm: Tools to Help Your Sensitive, Strong-Willed Child Regulate Their Nervous System. (To be notified when the course opens for applicants, please sign up here).

What Parents Are Saying About My Work

I thought I’d share a few comments from clients to give a flavour of my work.

Here is what a mum and a dad I work with wrote:

“Our family dynamic is so much more positive. We feel more equipped to handle the ups and downs and are better at keeping our buckets topped up.”

“Our work has made me see my own emotional needs are a priority. I can now give myself the acknowledgment that I need. I have much more confidence in what I’m doing as a parent.”

A mum told me:

“My child is able to see her strengths. She is more relaxed, confident, fun, happy and chatty. She has self-respect and can stand up for herself. She is able to recover from life’s challenges more quickly. The key has been to deeply understand my child and know what she needs from me.”

Another mum said:

“We are appreciating each other and our connection is so much closer. The ripple effect hasn’t just been within my family but I have been able to educate the educators.

“I feel like working with you has been like swimming in the sea and then hitting a patch that’s lit and warmed by the sunlight. You know you can carry on through the cold because you’re heading for another pool of light. I want to let you know how grateful I am that I’ve been able to work with you.

“I have benefited enormously from working with you. I am profoundly grateful for the support you have given me to achieve much better balance and awareness. It’s having real impacts on my mood, health and my relationships.

”You have played a huge part with your knowledge, wisdom and guidance. I owe so much to you and hope you know how much you have impacted our lives.”I’ll also be sending a monthly video check-in for the Resonant Parenting Project and opening discussion threads.
