Hi there—I’m Rose!
I started Bud and Blossom Kids to make parenting less stressful, isolating, and anxiety-inducing. I don’t think anyone should try to go it alone in parenting. I’m on a mission to make high-quality parenting guidance accessible, approachable, and dare I say, enjoyable! I love what I do because I get to walk alongside families every step of the way and make really special, lasting relationships.

My Approach
A key part of my philosophy is Positive Discipline, a research-backed and Montessori accredited approach to parenting that focuses on mutual respect, encouragement, and long-term behavioral change. Instead of relying on rewards, punishments, or control, I teach parents to address the reasons behind their children’s actions, fostering empathy, cooperation, and self-regulation.
I help parents raise children who feel capable and connected, to feel that they count, and have courage to face the challenges that life presents.
If you’d like to explore this approach further, check out my blog post on Positive Discipline where I dive deeper into how this method can benefit your family.
