Aware Parenting is an approach to parenting developed by Aletha Solter, a Swiss-American developmental psychologist and author.
Aletha Solter's approach emphasizes the importance of being present and aware of children's emotions, acknowledging and validating their feelings, and offering empathetic responses. It encourages parents to prioritize emotional release, allowing children to express and process their emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Solter believes that allowing children to express their feelings freely helps prevent emotional repression, aggression, and behavioral issues.

What people are saying
We had an online 1:1 consultation with Maru and she immediately made us feel at ease, seen and understood. We left the session feeling empowered, with new tools in our toolkit and most importantly we felt like we didn't have to beat ourselves up and that we are doing the best we can. That was very reassuring and calming. Thanks Maru!
— Theresa
Working with Maru has led me to finally believe in myself as a mother. Previously I was constantly sad, and riddled with anxiety thinking that the challenges I faced with my son's behaviour were because I wasn't good enough as a parent. I now feel a sense of freedom in realising that I don't have to fix everything. I am kinder to myself and have more compassion for him. Unlocking this has helped our whole family in ways I never expected. We are so much happier now than before I looked to Maru for support.
— Adrienne
We first went to Maru for support with poo withholding and general toileting issues for our four year-old. From the initial discovery call onwards she was wonderfully warm and helpful and made us feel at ease, and she had a lot of creative suggestions that have been instrumental in lifting some of the shame and stuck feelings around this issue for our daughter and starting to finally move us forward. When we returned to talk to her about EC for our baby, we found her just as knowledgable and supportive - I’d been curious for a long time but never thought I’d be able to get EC off the ground. Maru's inventive and creative approach has given us tools to use well beyond the toddler and toileting years. Thank you!
— Kirsten
We were very impressed with Maru’s approach. She is gentle and respectful to the child, warm, and professional. She was very involved, responded quickly and comprehensively to emails, came well prepared to our online consultation sessions and went far beyond what we expected in providing us with advice. Throughout the process, we felt in very safe and knowledgeable hands with her - and she has been an incredible support in helping our son transition to the toilet.
— Tinka
