Lauren Bondy, MSW, Certified LifeLine Practitioner, Parent Educator and Coach is passionate about helping parents create the joyful lives they dream of for themselves and their children.   As co-founder of Parenting Perspectives, Lauren has worked extensively with parents to help them enhance their parenting tools and develop strategies to promote healthy development and nurture the unique potential of their children.  Through The LifeLine Technique™ she guides parents to discover and release the subconscious barriers that inhibit parents from staying connected to their deep, loving connection with their children even when parenting challenges arise.  With barriers removed and new tools and strategies in place, Lauren helps families thrive.  She has presented workshops and courses to thousands of parents and teachers in the Chicago metropolitan area on a wide variety of issues including: power struggles, self-esteem, sibling rivalry, temperament, discipline, friendship and school issues.  She has been a keynote speaker on the topic “Raising Respectful, Responsible and Resilient Children in a Privileged World.”  She co-developed and teaches a highly acclaimed interactive, multi-week course for parents.  Her work has been called “eye opening, incredibly positive and non-judgmental.”  She has appeared on ABC-7’s “Connect With Kids”, serves on the Advisory Board for the National Effective Parenting Initiative and is a Certified Parenting Instructor through the International Network for Children & Families.  Lauren is the mother of three children.
