Parent guidance and early childhood support
Support for the early years of family life—grounded, reflective, and practical.
I offer relationship-based, developmentally informed support for parents and caregivers in the early years of raising children. My work is focused on helping you feel more steady, connected, and confident in everyday family life.
How I support families
Parent Guidance
One-on-one support for navigating daily parenting challenges, connection, and emotional regulation.
Early Childhood Support
Developmentally informed guidance for understanding behavior and rhythms.
Reflective Circles
Small group spaces for reflection and shared experience.
A note on this work
✿ Parenting in the early years is shaped in everyday moments—how we respond, repair, and stay connected through change.
✿ Support works best when it is steady, reflective, and grounded in relationship rather than urgency or perfection.
✿ My approach is centered on helping families feel more resourced in the rhythms of daily life.
A bit about me
I’m Leith Speer Barton, a second-year MSS student currently training toward clinical licensure as an LCSW. I bring over eight years of experience facilitating parent–caregiver and early childhood classes, with a focus on relational, developmentally informed support for family life.
My work is informed by RIE-informed practice, along with training in parent coaching, relationship coaching, and Fair Play facilitation.
Alongside my professional training, my experience as a mother informs my understanding of the complexity and everyday rhythms of family life.
