The ART of Living Life
​
Parenting has been one of the biggest JOYS of my
life. I have three children and each of one of them
is such a unique and wonderful spirit. Through the
years I've written three books on the subject, held parenting classes and have hosted numerous radio
shows on the subject.

​
LISTENING TO CHILDREN
​
Listening to a child in your life is one of the most
important things
you can do as a caring adult in the life
of a child!
LISTENING, truly listening to a child, send them
a powerful message! A message that says:
​
YOU CARE!
YOU ARE HERE FOR THEM!
THEY MATTER!
THEIR WORDS MATTER!
THEIR FEELINGS MATTER!

SOULFUL PARENTING ​​
​
​
Are you aware that your child/ren choose you
to be their parent? Children choose their parents
from the elevated "place" of the Soul. They know
the lessons they will be learning on their
journey, and they recognize the "Souls"
that can support them in that process.
​
At the same time, there is a vibrational "YES"
on the parents part, recognizing that they
will be learning lessons in that relationship
too.
​
When we look at our life and our family from the view point of the SOUL, we can see it with "New Eyes!
​
​
Instead of seeing a huge "problem", you might
be able to see what lessons your child
is learning from his experience as well
as what lessons you are learning.
​
You may be able to see the gifts
that are being bestowed on all.
​
Each of my three children are amazing
unique individuals, of course. And each
one provided me with different learning
opportunities.
​
With one I learned to be assertive and stand up to
"professionals" and be on an equal basis in
deciding the way forward and learned more about
courage and being true to myself from
the way this child interacted in the world.
​
With another I learned to be more assertive and
at the same time, listen to her wise
wisdom insights, spoken as a child.
​
And with still another, I learned to look at life
with the JOY of a child and important
parenting principles from this child's
wise words.
​
I invite you to step back and see your family
from the SOUL perspective.
​
What is each person here to do in this life?
​
What are you learning from each family
member is this process?
​
What can you bring to each of your children as
a parent?
​
How can you nurture the path of each of
your children and what they are here to
experience and/or bring forth?

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT SHARON
​
​
​
Parenting Class:
Sharon has a wonderful way of mixing her presentation to include discussion, sharing, individual exercises and lecture which keeps the class upbeat, personal, educational and interesting.
As a parent with experience as a parent educator it has been valuable to re-visit known concepts, to learn new perspectives, and to take the time to re-focus on my own parenting.
Sharon's gentle voice and accepting manner keep all the members of the class comfortable sharing personal issues and eager to ask questions.

Sharon Wikoff
is a beautiful kind soul and an effective, nurturing, creatively aware teacher for my daughter Angelina!! I highly recommend her piano teaching and art classes because my daughter has been growing and expanding in her heart, mind and skills from both.
Sharon is patient, kind, loving and creates a very nurturing environment that is palpable whether in person or during online lessons. My daughter looks forward to all her moments with Sharon.
Sharon is a stellar human being and we are happy she's a part of our lives!
