FAMILY MENTORING
Hi! I'm Ash, Paths & Pages Founder, Director & Family Mentor
I help parents build deeper trust & more meaningful connections with their children...
I specialize in kids who don't fit nicely or neatly into society.
Change is possible.
Let’s be real: If you knew how to change your family dynamic, you would do it!
Even if you read all the parenting books, follow all the instagram therapists & try all the suggestions… sometimes it takes a personal connection to help you identify triggers, work through options, develop an effective plan & make noticeable changes.
So if you’re ready to do the work, want to build strong relationships with your kids & change the vibes in your home, I’m ready to show you how.
Get support from someone who’s been there.
I manage up to 12 kids at once, alone in the wilderness, so I know chaos intimately.
I deeply understand the frustration, confusion & despair that is caregiving.
I also know what works (& what doesn’t) when it comes to helping kids manage big feelings, aggression, anxiety, sibling rivalry & meltdowns.
Since 2018, I’ve helped hundreds of children, teens & parents manage stress, improve connection & communication and find positive, respectful solutions to challenges at home.
Your child is not the problem.
“Bad behavior” most commonly reflects the disconnect between a child’s actual skills & the expectations/demands we put on them.
Challenging kids will always look “bad” if they’re pushed past their capacity to respond.
This is especially common in neurodivergent children: born with brains that think, learn & process information differently than others. Like me! :)
We should be celebrating these kids for who they are… not setting unrealistic expectations or devising ways to change them.
It’s all about curiosity & understanding.
Sometimes, challenging behavior is the result of a child who isn’t getting their needs met.
In fact, most relationship challenges in our lives stem from not feeling completely seen, heard or validated.
I specialize in seeing life through your child’s eyes, getting curious about their experience & showing you how to “speak kid” again.
This deep connection & understanding allows me to put your child's behavior in context, identify what’s really going on underneath the surface & devise ways for you to more effectively communicate.
Let the ultimate transformation begin:
-
Straightforward, realistic & easy-to-implement strategies for your family’s social, emotional & spiritual growth
