What
Gen 1 Parenting
is all about

melanie zwyghuizen gen1parenting.com

At Gen1 Parenting, we understand that parenting is tough, and we believe that every parent deserves the right support to help their family not just get by, but truly thrive. Many parents feel like they’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. The truth is, without a deeper understanding of how kids think, feel, and behave, the tips and tricks just don’t stick. That's why we equip you with both the foundational understanding and practical tools, so you can make lasting changes that actually work—and feel confident while enjoying the journey with your kids.

There's No One Way to Do Parenting Right

But there are some things that will make it easier & more joyful once you know them!
