Hello!

My name is Dr. Naaila Hudani. I am an applied developmental scientist, with a passion for helping people - young and old - thrive. I received my Ph.D. in Child Study and Human Development from Tufts University, specializing in the important role that adults play in positive youth development. I have utilized my skills, experience, and passion over the years to help mentor and coach adults who support children and adolescents, as well as participated in research on ways that adults can help youth achieve their fullest potential. 

Along my journey, I was fortunate enough to meet my soul mate and become a bonus mom. However, attempts to co-parent with the child's biological mother have brought to light the challenges that people face when they are attempting to nurture a child with a person who has no interest in co-parenting. The dynamic can quickly turn toxic for both the adults and the children involved. 

Although co-parenting with the biological mother has proved to be a challenge, my partner and I have found a way to thrive despite the negativity. And, we have found ways to support the child from the manipulation and control in their other home. And now, I'd like to help you in Awakening from Toxic Co-Parenting!
