The Parenting Expertise We’ve Been Waiting For

Houston Moms is proud to partner with Dr. Kimberly Harrison to bring our audience some extra support in their parenting journey.

We all know parenting is hard. These kids didn’t come with a manual though sometimes I wish they did! I know I’m not alone in saying it often feels like I don’t know what I’m doing. Discipline, handling rules around electronics, schedules, and friends- it can all be completely overwhelming. Do you ever wish you could have an expert guide you in those difficult seasons? A little professional support would be nice! Even better if it was someone with training in child development and family dynamics! Dr. Kimberly Harrison is a clinical psychologist, writer and speaker and she loves helping families and parents grow. Based on her years of expertise, she has put together some of her best strategies into a parenting workshop that is both affordable and easily accessible online!

About Dr. Harrison

Dr. Harrison has a diverse background which includes working in the business world and in women’s and children’s ministry. She returned to school as an adult to earn two Master’s degrees in psychology and ultimately a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. She passionately believes in the importance and resilience of families and loves helping strong families become stronger, uncovering root issues that cause difficulty both at home and at school.

Through her work and personal experiences, Dr. Harrison has developed proven strategies to help her clients look for and trust their own inner wisdom. She has an amazing ability to teach, challenge and inspire others. Over the years, she’s worked with some great families and wonderful parents who find themselves frustrated, worried, or just plain confused about what to do.

You may wonder why this series is called “Conative Parenting.” According to Dr. Harrison, the word “conative” refers to the third force of the psyche – the part that helps us change and grow. It seems like most of the time, we prefer to focus on the other two parts of the psyche: cognitive and emotional. And, of course, those aspects can’t be ignored. But having the ability to grow and change over time is an incredibly important skill, especially when it comes to parenting.

Bethany Dufilho
Bethany, the daughter of an army chaplain and a special education teacher, grew up moving every 2-3 years. She considers herself an introvert who had to learn how to make friends quickly! She met her Houstonian husband, Paul, in college and they married in 2004. They first settled just north of Houston, where she earned her master's degree at Sam Houston State in School Psychology. After working in public education for a couple of years, she decided to stay home full time with their children, Charlie {2008}, Norah {2010}, and Will {2013}. The family moved to Katy in 2012, where they’ve been ever since. She loves decorating and even had her own small business for a while. She also loves to read, binge-watch old TV shows, talk politics and enneagram, and will not turn down a cup of strong coffee or a good conversation with a friend.
