Opvoeden met Leen

Opvoeden met Leen is a parenting advice and family coaching service led by Leen Knapen, an experienced parenting specialist, certified child sleep coach and psychological consultant. Drawing on her background in youth care and family guidance, Leen supports parents with practical, tailored advice in a warm, non-judgmental manner. Her aim is to help families find greater calm, confidence and balance in everyday life.

Services cover child sleep, challenging behaviour, emotional regulation, setting boundaries and toilet training. Sleep coaching helps families work toward routines that suit a child’s needs, while parenting and emotion coaching offer tools for handling tantrums, listening difficulties and other daily challenges. Toilet-training support is designed to help children approach the process with greater ease. Guidance is available online or at home, and parents can begin with a personal intake conversation.

The website also features blogs, a free parenting-style quiz, downloadable guides, e-books and practical tools, including a feelings thermometer and development cards. These resources offer parents additional ideas and support for understanding and responding to their children.
