Empowering teachers, caregivers and parents to grow genuinely happy and confident children.
Sometimes growth is small and hardly noticeable, but it is present. I believe it's possible in all beings. Celebrating the growth, no matter how small, is far more beneficial than focusing on the struggles. When this is realized we are not only more patient with those around us, but also with ourselves. If all beings can grow, then we can too.
I always wanted to have four or five children, so although three of my five are of the fur variety, I have indeed been "mom" to five "children".
70 Reasons Why We LOVE You!

My hope for you, as a parent, is that you can make room for these moments each day. They will make such a difference in your child's life far more than you'll ever really know.

Dear Jenny,
You see beyond today for answers.
You hear laughter with your humor.
You see action from your ideas.
You smile for others’ joy.
I have many fabulous memories from my childhood. The family dinner table is definitely a space that many of those great memories started. The feelings of consistency, laughter, joy, grounding and love will last in my mind forever.
Sometimes life beats us up. We experience a trauma or a series of traumas: a divorce, abandonment, neglect, abuse, loss, etc.
Sometimes we simply feel beat up by life and we have nothing really to blame it on. This is me.
Anxiety. It’s real. It’s overwhelming. It can be all consuming. I hate it.
