Welcome to the Transformative Parenting blog. My name is Todd Sarner and I will be your host. I am a Parent Counselor & Educator who lives in Marin County, California. I am also "Gaga" (daddy) to 3.5 year old Benjamin.
My background is that I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and I have been working for several years with children, teens, and adults. I have also been working for a couple years with leading developmental psychologist and author Dr. Gordon Neufeld ("Hold On to Your Kids"). Dr. Neufeld has become a friend and mentor, and he asked me to be part of a small group of 10 professionals in North America (2 in the US) who he is personally training to bring his developmental/attachment paradigm to a wider audience.
One of Dr. Neufeld's greatest contributions is showing parents and professionals alike that attachment is not just for babies. It is not just about nursing, wearing our babies, or cosleeping. These things are important, but attachment is a critical psychological and emotional force that helps us do our job as parents throughout our children's lives.
This blog is dedicated to helping mom's and dad's be the parents they want to be and who their children need them to be. We will feature:
- Daily posts on parent-related subjects
- Guest bloggers
- Parenting video clips and audios
- Links to excellent resources for parents
- and more...
Thank you for visiting and for joining me on this adventure!
