Shelly Lefkoe is a much sought after parenting expert. Her passion is inspiring and empowering people to be the best possible parents that they can be, so that their children can have joyful, successful lives both as children and adults.

Shelly’s parenting expertise comes from helping thousands of individuals overcome a wide variety of problems as serious as depression to low self-esteem that were rooted in early childhood interactions with parents. Her work as a Lefkoe Method Facilitator has been her laboratory for developing her parenting work.

Shelly discovered that virtually all of the problem behaviors her clients wanted to change were driven by beliefs they had formed, mostly in childhood, through interactions with their parents. Seeing how beliefs formed in childhood create problems in adult life ignited Shelly’s passion to change how people parent. Shelly Lefkoe is also the co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul Guide to Effective Parenting.
