I am a qualified teacher with an honours degree in Psychology. I taught for 10 years in both Government and private schools in South Africa, and Switzerland. Spending  seven years at The American International School of Johannesburg, during which time I also successfully owned and managed an Education Centre for underprivileged children.

I worked as a Life Line Counsellor, and I have been a Parenting/Educational Consultant for many years, as well as writing parenting and educational articles for magazines and books.    

I am a mom of two gorgeous children. A girl aged 12 and a boy aged 6.  I am absolutely passionate about children, and really understand them. I also understand how difficult it is being a parent.

Since I was a young student  I have been studying child development and behaviour, and I have identified what children need to be happy and successful.

Can I help you?

Yes of course! I can give you practical tips that really work on any parenting or educational aspect. I can also help you create a parenting plan that will really work for you.

Mostly I am here to support and guide you, especially through difficult times like divorce and death. 

I would love to hear from you. Please write to me at my email address claire@inspiredparenting.co.za  and tell me about your parenting experiences, and what you would like to know more about. I will try to answer your questions.

Look out for my talks during the year, and articles I will be posting. 

GOOD LUCK! Parenting can be fun.
