“Every child deserves a champion — an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best version that they can be.” – Rita Pierson
If you’re here, it’s because the behavioral advice you’re getting from your pediatrician, family members, friends, and internet searches is NOT WORKING. Most of that advice applies to the average child. But what if your child is neurodivergent, has sensory difficulties, or is just extremely strong-willed? Then you are left scrambling to figure things out on your own and that can feel so frustrating and isolating.
I have been there and I’ve (mostly) come out the other side. I am a special education teacher turned Stay At Home Mom. I have three amazing children under 5 years old and I have run the gamut of therapies including Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and ABA Therapy. It has taken me years of trial and error to find out what works and what doesn’t for “tough toddlers” and I will be compiling it together in a handy toolkit that will help you through these difficult years. You got this!
