GUIDING AS THEY GROW

"Ellen has opened my mind to new ways of thinking about child development, and family structure."
Jane, Westport, CT

 

"Ellen has a great way of assessing information gained and communicating her thoughts and key ideas in a clear and intelligent manner. That quality balanced with her warmth and genuine interest in families, makes her an asset to anyone seeking her guidance."


Nina Dickerman, Adjunct Professor of Child and Family Studies, Wheelock College, Boston, MA

 

"Ellen's class gave me the courage to try something new with my family dynamics." Ellen W., Easton, CT

 

"Ellen's three sons are a few years older than my two boys and have always been great role models. From the time they taught my oldest son to ride a two-wheel bicycle eleven years ago, they set great life examples, going to good colleges, giving back to their communities and enjoying life. Ellen's sons have grown into wonderful young adults and they could not have gotten there without Ellen's love and guidance. I often look to Ellen for parenting advise as I raise my sons. And that's the TRUTH!"

Tricia, Ellen's younger sister

 

"I did not realize how much temperament has to do with conflict resolution."
Lisa, Fairfield, CT

"I always take home something new from each class with Ellen! Sometimes even a new recipe."
Betsy, mother of three


"In fun loving ways Ellen guides parents to become the parent they always wanted to be."

D.B., Fairfield, CT



" My twins are only seven, please promise me you will be a part of our life until they go to college!"

Mother of seven year old twin boys, Westport, CT
