Senait Litchmore "Emotional Regulation in Parenting and Life"

Senait Litchmore is not only a registered psychotherapist and coach, but also a devoted mother and wife who has spent over a decade empowering women and breaking toxic cycles through her therapeutic support for families. Her perspective on parenting evolution is heavily influenced by her background and personal experiences both as a parent and from her childhood. Initially, she approached parenting focused on behavior, but soon recognized the significance of fostering a strong relationship with her children over merely administering rewards and punishments. As she navigated through different phases of parenting, she shifted her priorities to teaching independence and fostering meaningful connections with her children. Drawing from her experience as the oldest of six children, and her natural inclination for leadership and advocacy, Senait has learned to value presence, nurture relationships, and advocate for fairness and equality, thus shaping her unique approach to parenting.
