Join the Upcoming Workshop – Explaining Your Child’s Brain and Diagnosis: Building Understanding and Self-Esteem

Welcome to the blog!

Dive in to find information and resources to help your children with

SEL is vast and complex and it’s my mission to provide practical activities for emotional regulation, social communication, executive functioning, mindfulness, and positive parenting to add into your daily routines, not add ON to your busy life. I am here to make it simple to make it stick!
