Bonnie Harris

Bonnie’s first child was easy breezy. Her second? Volumes more demanding and resistant.

Suddenly, with her children as her teachers, everything Bonnie thought she knew about being a good parent was upended, and the only way through was inward.

It was in this life-changing discovery that Connective Parenting was born.

For over three decades, Bonnie has worked with parents across cultures, backgrounds, and family structures as a parenting and child behavior specialist, educator, counselor, and coach.

In 1990, she founded a family resource center dedicated to parent education, support, and community connection that continues to thrive today.

Bonnie holds a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and is the author of two books, When Your Kids Push Your Buttons and Confident Parents, Remarkable Kids: 8 Principles for Raising Kids You’ll Love to Live With.

Her work has appeared on The Today Show, ABC Australia, and radio and podcast platforms across the United States and internationally. Her podcast, Tell Me About Your Kids, brings real parent coaching sessions to anyone who listens in.

Bonnie lives in New Hampshire with her husband. She’s the mother of two successful adult children, raised with the very approach she now shares with families around the world.
