Home Consultation
Make your home your co-parent with Enriching Childhoods’ signature service.
Environmental solutions, tailored to your family’s needs, with implementation and ongoing support.
The first step: contact me! Share a bit about your family, where your day seems to lag or struggle, and where you feel there is room for improvement. We’ll have a 30-minute phone call or Zoom meeting to delve deeper into your family’s day.
in-home Observation.
To create effective solutions for your family, it’s important to see your family in the space! This virtual process maintains the natural flow of your home environment - I’ll just be a fly on the wall! Via photographs, videos, and Zoom or FaceTime calls, I’ll observe and note which environmental changes can best support your family and your child’s development.
Discussion
Let’s chat! In a Zoom meeting or phone call, I’ll discuss my observations and initial thoughts on environmental modifications, and incorporate your feedback and preferences into my final recommendations.
Implementation.
Receive a post-consultation document including suggested room plans that utilize current furniture, suggested DIY’s, and/or new furniture and accessory items. Each adaptation is accompanied by an Environmental Guide: a resource that supports the child’s use of your space and gives suggestions for effective, research-supported techniques and language to implement new routines and limits. These guides are tailored to your home, family, and communication style - no two look the same!
Ongoing Support.
Weekly or monthly check-ins, depending on your preferences, to discuss and workshop your home environment.
Phone Consultation
