As a mother…
I know how challenging raising children can be. We question if they are developing in line with their peers. What can we be doing as parents to nurture their growth while allowing their development to unfold at its own pace? Children are learning how to manage their emotions, cooperate with peers, move to the rhythm of their home and classroom, and to follow directions. As an educator, I have seen far too many children given unnecessary disability labels, struggle in their community preschool and parents unsure of where to turn for behavioral support. I have counseled and coached hundreds of parents and look forward to partnering with others through a variety of personal services to fit your family’s needs.
Services
Virtual Consulting
Virtual consulting is a convenient method of working with families that allows conversations to occur at a time that fits a busy schedule. During a consultation, parents are invited to share their concerns, ask questions and together we can problem solve behaviors, share strategies, discuss educational/preschool “good fits” and support developmental and behavioral growth. A free initial consultation is available to all new clients.
In-Home Consulting
In-Home consulting allows for a personal, intimate conversation to occur without leaving the comfort of your home. It can include observations, coaching and modeling of strategies and techniques. This is an opportunity for parents to observe and learn strategies they can implement themselves. While I believe each child’s development is intrinsic and personal, there are ways in which we can nurture them with activities and strategies to support growth.
Informal Developmental Assessments
Development of young children is a predictable, yet varying continuum, in which each child has their own path. Determining your child’s specific areas of need is crucial in creating an environment that encourages positive development. Informal assessments can include interview, observation and direct interaction with your child. implementing a variety of methods to determine where your child’s strengths and weaknesses are across all domains of development.
