I have heard many times
"A child does not come with instructions"
” If you allow me, I would love to give you some of those instructions at least in regards to expected developmental skills most children can accomplish at a very early stage of their lives”.

“I have questioned my self, wondering how I could manage three children and my profession at the same time while being a single Mom for some years. I realized it was due to my structure and clear expectations with my children. This has been controversial and I have considered other’s opinions making changes needed, however keeping the core of what I do has not changed. I stand firm with the belief that children seek limits and need a place to belong and participate in actively. They are screaming for attention through many inappropriate or different behaviors. Children are communicating a need but they have no clue what it is. I want to be their voice, I am here to give every single adult the tools to stimulate a child in the beginning of their life. I want everyone to have the amazing experience I live everyday watching a child become independent, self regulated and self disciplined without even knowing. I want misdiagnosing children to stop and I want happy children entering schools with teachers reporting that they can do their job again; I want to help us all take the path of having fun before sitting to teach a 2 year old letters and numbers.
Life is taking a fast pace, I am attempting to utilize it and make it more meaningful for children. They are my purpose, all of them, with personalities and differences, with brightness and struggles. I want to be somehow in their lives. I want to see the little ones smile again!
