Parenting Preschoolers Consult

Are you having difficulty getting your adorable child to listen to you? Are you having daily battles that you feel you are consistently losing? We can help you in all of the following areas, and probably some we haven't thought of too!

Mealtime Battles
Potty Training
Pacifier Use
Prolonged Bedtimes and Frequent Wake Ups
Temper Tantrums
Power Struggles
Discipline/Disrespect
Arriving on Time/Leaving Without a Meltdown

The goal is to help you understand the child development behind the bad behavior. This will enable you to change your approach with your child to achieve the behavior you want and assist your child in managing and understanding his/her emotions. All consults are with Kathy Moren, a Registered Nurse and mother of 4 boys with over 30 years experience helping parents navigate the parent-child relationship. The initial coaching session will be one hour and take place in our East Greenwich office, or via Zoom/Doxy or the phone. Families will receive a written summary of the plan. Regularly scheduled weekly appointments over the next 4 weeks will address any concerns and help us to adjust what is being done based on how your child is responding. This assistance is available for children over 27 months. Kathy will be available to the parents as inevitable issues arise until your child starts kindergarten.

Customer Comments and Testimonials

“Kathy at Healthy Babies had already been a pillar for us in helping with lactation and sleep training of our newborn. It was comforting to turn to her again to navigate new challenges with our now toddler, and once again Kathy saved the day. She is a master of help for advice on parenting preschoolers through challenging phases with ease, kindness, and love. We had read and listened to so many parenting books, trying hard to take notes and follow the right tactics to being the best parents that we can be. In many ways they helped a lot. But nothing compared to the one on one conversations with Kathy to help myself and my husband navigate the challenges we faced. On our calls we discussed the hurdles coming our way (potty training, switching from a bed to a crib, ditching the pacifier, temper tantrums, discipline, mealtime, sleep regression, etc), and let her outline a plan for us to follow that worked with our feelings and lives, to address each topic one at a time. I cannot emphasize enough not only the relief that comes from knowing we have a successful roadmap (based in empathy) to get through these times, but also the enormous weight that is lifted from having to decide between two parents who’s idea of how to do this is right. It just takes that conversation right off the table, and that is truly a blessing. Kathy’s advice is rooted in a lifetime of professional and personal experience, guided by empathy and a deep connection to children and their parents and most of all her advice WORKS!!! Thank you for all that you do, we love you Kathy!”
