Dyan Roosma, M.Ed. is a parent educator, speaker, and creator of Growing Togetherâ„¢, relationship-centered parenting resources that help families build strong connections through everyday moments.

Parenting was never meant to be done alone.

Whether you're expecting your first baby, navigating toddlerhood, or simply trying to understand your child a little better, small moments of connection can make a big difference.

My goal is to help parents build strong relationships with their children through practical strategies, meaningful interactions, and everyday moments that matter.

Growing Together

A young woman with long curly hair sits under a tree in a garden, gently holding her pregnant belly. Inside her belly, a glowing baby is cradled. The scene includes animals like a rabbit, a fawn, a butterfly, and a bird, surrounded by purple and white flowers and greenery, with a closed book on the ground nearby.

A woman and a baby sitting outdoors among greenery, sharing a joyful moment. The woman has curly hair in a bun and holds a small object, while the baby looks up happily. Nearby are a basket with a plush bunny, a baby blanket, a stack of books with bunny illustrations, and baby toys surrounded by purple flowers and butterflies.

A relationship-based parenting series that helps caregivers learn to see, understand, and respond to their children as they grow.

From pregnancy through early childhood, Growing Together focuses on the relationships that help children feel safe, connected, understood, and confident.

A child in pajamas labeled 'Monster Patrol' is standing in a bedroom, shining a flashlight out the window at colorful friendly monster characters walking across the night sky. The room has stuffed animals, a bookshelf, and a poster that says 'Brave Kind Capable.' There is a sign on the wall saying, 'We don't fight monsters. We help them find a better place to be.'

Playing Away

The child is crying and clenching their fists, while the woman leans in to comfort them with a caring expression. Purple smoke or mist swirls above the child's head.
A young boy and woman, possibly a teacher or parent, at school entrance, displaying purple heart stickers on fists. The scene shows warm, welcoming light, a purple door with a 'You've Got This!' sign, and signs that say 'You Are Loved' and 'Welcome Little Learners!'. The boy has a purple backpack, and the woman kneels at his level with a caring expression. There is a framed quote on the floor reading 'Goodbyes Are Hard. Love Stays.', a basket with a teddy bear, and purple flowers outside.

Play-based activities that support learning, development, communication, and connection.

Designed for real families who want simple ways to engage, connect, and grow together through play.
