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. Through my evidence-based approach, I help parents replace overwhelm and struggle with the joy that comes from watching their child fully thrive.
As a parent to a gifted child myself, I know firsthand the challenges of raising a child whose potential isn’t always supported by traditional methods. That’s why I created personalised coaching packages to guide parents in fostering autonomy, resilience, and leadership in their children—all while completely transforming the way they approach parenting.
​
My unique application of Aware Parenting has helped many families create lasting emotional balance, develop future-conscious leaders, and experience profound growth at home. Together, we’ll build a solution-oriented household where both children and parents can flourish.

FAQs
How is this program different from other parenting courses?
​
This program is tailored specifically for parents of gifted children. Aware parenting, unlike traditional parenting approaches that rely on punishment, bribes, or rewards, this program fosters autonomy, cooperation and collaboration without coercion. It’s evidence-based but focused on practical, real-world application in your home.
What if I don’t have time to attend all the calls?
All coaching calls are recorded, so you can watch them at a time that suits you. Additionally, the small group format ensures you’ll still receive personalised support even if you can’t make every session.
What kind of results can I expect?
Participants experience a profound transformative shift in how they parent and how their children interact with the world and respond to stress. Many parents report a dramatic reduction in power struggles, improved emotional balance in their children and a stronger, more connected relationship.
Is this program suitable for children of all ages?
Yes, the strategies and principles I teach can be applied to children of all ages. The focus is on understanding your child’s emotional and intellectual needs, regardless of their developmental stage.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
The weekly coaching calls are approximately 90 minutes, and additional time for implementing the strategies at home will depend on your family’s unique needs but are interwoven into the existing routines and rhythms of your family.
What do you mean by gifted?
Giftedness isn’t just about a high IQ although that is what we can reliably test. It also manifests as heightened emotional sensitivity, intense curiosity, and advanced problem-solving skills, extraordinary sensorial ability and pronounced psychomotor development. In this program, we focus on helping your child thrive by nurturing their intellectual and emotional needs, no matter how their giftedness shows up. I am influenced by theories from Dabrowski, Gagne's Differentiated Model of Giftedness and I keep abreast of emergent research in the field.
What is Aware Parenting?
Aware Parenting is based on attachment parenting with the addition of being trauma informed and engaging in specific theraputic play based interventions. This evidence-based approach was developed by Biologist and Developmental Psychologist Aletha Solter. PhD. It focuses on building emotional connection and collaboration between parents and children, without using punishments, threats, or rewards. Aware Parenting helps children develop resilience, autonomy, and emotional intelligence, leading to a more balanced and harmonious family life.
