Stepping Into 2021
Last year taught us a lot, redefined play, and helped us grow in so many ways. I am bringing the best of my learning, play, and growth into the new year to help you and your child connect, communicate, and learn with confidence in 2021 and beyond!
Learn: I learned so much through certification programs in Positive Discipline, DIR Floortime, and the Hanen Centre® SPARK Communication™ and 4Is to Socialize approaches! New services and supports for you are coming soon!
Play: I played with children around the world, because play is a universal language. Little ones and I used position words to build towers, mixed and matched body parts and senses to create silly potato heads, matched colors and created patterns with Candy Land, and transformed Zingo into a sharing social skills game with siblings. Elementary children and I created a math language (A was 1, B was 2, etc.), wrote poetry, applied parts of speech with mad libs, and practiced spelling words through silly Zoom chats.
Grow: The world changed, and I changed with it. My confidence, curiosity, and creativity grew. My mindset shifted from scarcity and uncertainty to abundance and hope. Self-compassion and greater activism became daily parts of my life. I invested in relationships, and the support of old friends, new friends, and mentors helped me grow beyond my imagination.
