Hi, I'm Devon Harris
​
I’m on a mission to elevate the lives of gifted children and their families by disrupting conventional parenting wisdom.
​
As both a professional coach and the parent of a gifted child, I know firsthand how isolating it can feel when traditional approaches don’t meet your child’s needs.
That’s why I created this ongoing conversation — to help parents foster autonomy, resilience, and leadership in their children while transforming the way they approach parenting.
​
My unique application of the Aware Parenting approach has helped families across the world create emotional balance, raise future-conscious leaders, and rediscover joy and connection at home.
​
Together, we’ll build a solution-oriented household where both children and parents can flourish.
If you’ve wished for a space where you can speak openly about the realities of raising a gifted child — without judgment, sugar-coating, or outdated advice — this is it.​​
Together, we’ll explore the questions that help you parent with clarity, connection, and confidence. Over the coming weeks you’ll learn how to:
-
Replace power struggles with cooperation and calm.​
​
-
Understand your child’s emotions and intensities.
​​
-
Foster autonomy and resilience without threats or rewards.
​
-
Advocate confidently for your child’s educational needs.
​
-
Build a home culture of trust, laughter, and emotional safety.

Developed by developmental psychologist Dr Aletha Solter, Aware Parenting is an attachment-based, trauma-informed approach that uses connection and therapeutic play — not coercion — to build emotional intelligence, resilience, and cooperation at home.
