Articles, podcasts, books, and tools to encourage you as you build stronger relationships with your children.

For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of working with children, parents, and educators.

I hope these resources encourage and equip you on your parenting journey.

How to Encourage Critical Thinking for Little Ones
Guest on "Connected Families"
"Do you ever feel like you have to tell your young child over and over again to do something? Parents often feel the need to tell, yet telling can lead to defensiveness and power struggles. Asking questions, on the other hand, engages your child’s whole brain and can lead to more positive interactions. You can encourage critical thinking, grow responsibility and emotional awareness, as well as build wisdom in your child when you ask instead of tell."
