Accomplishments

.Trained in Love and Logic. A behavior modification philosophy that emphasizes setting firm limits with children while simultaneously showing them love, empathy, and allowing them to learn the naturally consequences of their choices, essentially teaching them to own their problems and find solutions, rather than relying on constant adult intervention. It promotes a balance between providing support and letting children experience the results of their decisions, with the core idea being to treat children with resect and allow them to make mistakes as learning opportunities.


.Trained in the Collaborative & Proactive solutions (CPS) method, developed by doctor Ross Green. CPS is a non punitive evidence based approach to handling children with behavioral challenges. It focuses on understanding and solving the root causes of a child's challenging behavior rather than simply reacting to it with discipline.
