Talks & Workshops
I collaborate with schools, businesses, and organizations to create personalized, interactive talks and workshops that support caregivers and educators in supporting children through connection. Drawing on over 20 years of experience and a background in Infant Mental Health, Childhood Attachment, and Equity, I work closely with each community to design presentations that meet their unique needs and goals. Past topics have included Positive Discipline, Helping Parents Get on the Same Page, and Equity in Early Childhood. Offerings can range from short talks to full-day workshops or multi-week parenting courses.
Positive Discipline Trainings
My Positive Discipline workshops are collaborative, practical, and rooted in connection. I partner with schools, parent groups, and organizations to create interactive learning experiences that help adults build respectful, effective relationships with children. Drawing on over 20 years of experience, these workshops offer real-life tools for navigating behavior challenges, strengthening communication, and creating calmer, more connected homes and classrooms. Topics can include setting respectful limits, reducing power struggles, emotional regulation, family collaboration, and helping parents get on the same page. Workshops can be tailored as short presentations, full-day trainings, or multi-session series.
