I have 40 years of experience working with children and their families: 19 years of public school special education teaching grades pre-K through middle school; 20 years of developing parent participation nursery schools. I hold a doctorate in education (see curriculum vitae). I can help with relationship-based communication and behavior support, and tutoring. I have many family and professional references attesting to the power of a relationship-based, loving approach to helping children develop self-worth/esteem, humanity-esteem, and inner discipline (self-worth esteem + humanity-esteem = the true motivator for developing inner discipline). My mantra in all of my interactions with children and their families is: Every person born has the same job: we take good care of ourselves, we good care of each other, and we help each other make the world a good and beautiful place for all. Note: My teaching credentials are active while I spend this year caring for my infant grandchild.
