Helping Parents Raise Good Humans in the Digital Age
Connected parenting in a digital world—supporting families and shaping the future
Ever feel like we’re trying to raise kids in a world that’s changing faster than we can catch our breath?
Sure, raising kids has always been hard…
…but now it feels like the goal posts haven’t so much been moved as removed entirely.
And yet, at the same time…
…there’s pressure to get everything right, all the time.
Parents: You’re trying to be thoughtful, intentional, present… and still get through the day without losing your mind as you struggle with:
Screen battles and constant pushback—plus the guilt when you give in and the blowups when you don’t.
Ongoing worry about how tech and a changing world are shaping your kid’s brain, behavior, relationships, and prospects for the future.
A flood of advice, opinions, and warnings—but none of it seems to fit your kid or your life.
I can help
With a PhD in developmental psychology, over 20 years of experience supporting families, and a deep understanding of what kids actually need to grow up well in today’s world, I offer research-informed strategies—minus the judgment.
I bring together evidence, empathy, and real-world perspective to help you move from survival mode to something calmer, more connected, and more aligned with your goals as a parent. No rigid rules. No one-size-fits-all fixes. Just thoughtful support that works in real life.
When it comes to digital life, I help you make sense of what’s really going on with your kid, what pulls them to screens, and what tech means to them. We’ll figure out what’s normal, what matters, and how to respond in ways that actually help.
And for organizations?
I bring developmental insight, clear communication, and collaboration that bridges research, family realities, and digital design. Together, we can shape a healthier future for kids.
Hi, I’m Mieke
I help thoughtful, caring parents who want to raise kind, capable kids in a world where screens are everywhere—and it’s not always clear what’s healthy, helpful, or harmful. Together, we:
sort through the overwhelm,
reduce the daily battles,
and find calm, realistic ways to parent with intention.
Because parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about raising good humans.
I also collaborate with organizations—advocacy groups, nonprofits, and tech companies—who are working to support families and build systems that truly serve kids’ well-being in the digital age.
I’m a developmental psychologist, parent educator, and fellow parent navigating the chaos of modern family life.
