Allow me to create space for you to reflect on and process when you find your family in a developmental “valley” or, as an educator, to take your skill set, practice and career to the next level.
During the pandemic, I supported a handful of families through their developmental valleys, and this validated that part of my purpose is to create space for others seeking active listening, partnership, resources, and empowerment.
