Online Parenting Course: No More Power Struggles

Yes, I want this

Modern parenting has left many parents struggling to navigate the ups and downs of development. Terrible twos? Tumultuous threes? F$%#$% Fours? When we view early childhood as a time of negativity and distress fraught with conflict, we invite disconnection with our child and further our own isolation as parents. If you’re looking to shed the traditional models of parenting that perpetuate that disconnection with time outs, punishments, and arbitrary consequences, you’ve come to the right place!

Hi, I’m Dr. Tamara Soles!

I’m a mom of twins- a boy and a girl and I’m a psychologist and parenting coach. I feel very privileged to work with families who have found themselves at a difficult time in their parenting journey. To allow someone into your family and be open and vulnerable takes a lot of courage. I feel honored to hold that vulnerability and to meet families with openness and acceptance as we find a path forward together that brings a new level of harmony and connectedness to the family.

  • “Thank you SO much again.  You were more than of some help, Tamara – you paved the way for my re-empowerment, you validated me, you boosted me and you supported me in reclaiming my precious turf.  These are all important for my soul’s toolkit.  And I thank you.”

  • “My family has worked with Dr. Soles over the past several months and count ourselves as very fortunate that we found her. We do not assign this high rating lightly–Dr. Soles’ professionalism, warmth, and support for our child and for us, as parents, have consistently impressed us. We have worked with other psychologists in the past and Dr. Soles’ ability to blend compassionate respect for her clients with her skilled approach to building childhood emotional health stands out. Each counselling session with her is filled with takeaway skills and lessons and we have no doubt that our child has greatly benefitted from her work with Dr. Soles..”

  • “Tamara is by far the best therapist I’ve had. That’s saying a lot ( I had quite a few). She is caring and kind and funny. I haven’t seen her in a year or so but she still calls my mom to check in. I couldn’t have asked for a better more caring and helpful therapist. After years of seeing her I got my life on track; never thought I could.”

  • I could nearly cry thinking of the progress our family has made since you first came into our lives. Thank you; this peaceful parenting path has been a real blessing for my marriage & my children

📚 I have put together a pdf list of my absolute 📚 I have put together a pdf list of my absolute favourite  books on neurodiversity.  These incredible books feature neurodivergent characters with differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD as well as some non-fiction and POV books from some amazing young authors. 

Whether in my home with my children or at work with my clients, I love using books to connect, to spark curiosity, and to explore new and sometimes difficult topics. 
 
Neurodiversity is a topic about which I feel extremely passionate. A way of understanding brains that values diversity and acknowledges varying strengths and challenges?! Yes please! 

These books are great to foster inclusive discussions with your children and help build understanding and empathy. They highlight the strengths of neurodiversity as well as challenges. They also help neurodivergent children better understand themselves and feel represented in positive ways! 💚🧡💜

I was moved to tears in this interview for Episode I was moved to tears in this interview for Episode 56 of This Hour has 50 Minutes with my guest, Jessica Sinarksi. 

Jessica is a licensed professional counselor of mental health, author, speaker, and instigator of hope. She shares her trauma-informed strategies to teach children about their brain and help them understand and regulate their emotions. 

Whether it is helping them strengthen that "staircase" between their upstairs brain and their downstairs brain or helping them get familiar with their "acting before thinking" and "thinking before acting" teams, Jessica has clear and effective strategies that clinicians and parents can implement easily. 

Find out which one moved me to tears. I will definitely be implementing that one with clients (and will do it myself!)
