Why a strong morning routine is important for learning

Kelly Meier

Hi, I’m Kelly, I am a mom, Certified Parent Effectiveness Training Instructor and Parent Coach in San Diego, CA. I help parents find the balance in parenting.

I began my career as a corporate event planner, Sales Trainer and Director of Franchise Development. Becoming a mother inspired me to slow down my busy life and stay home with my children. It was around the time my second child was born that I realized my oldest needed help adapting to this change in his life. I sought out help and found it from Lisa Sunbury Gerber, Regarding Baby and Janet Lansbury, Elevating Child Care, who eventually became my friends and mentors and inspired me to explore my gift of relating to children.

These women who are teachers of the RIE philosophy of respectful parenting founded by Magda Gerber, guided me to see my children in a new way and I became fascinated with watching them grow. It was on this path that I eventually found Parent Effectiveness Training and continued to learn how to raise children who not only trust me but whom I also trust.

Children come in all varieties of temperaments and my knack for relating to even the strongest of wills allows me to see all children, as a capable, whole people and in turn helps me guide their parents to begin to see them in a less challenging way. I have found my passion and my purpose in teaching others how to raise thoughtful, self-aware, and independent people. I hope you will come and learn with me and take some of the “hard” out of parenting. You can find more at RespectfulParent.com.
