from the Author

After years of owning early childhood schools and working with hundreds of families, I saw a growing need — not just for better education, but for stronger, more supported parents. Parenting in Turbulent Times is a culmination of what I’ve learned from educators, families, and children. My hope is that it becomes a supportive guide for you, just as these lessons have supported me and countless others.

Thank you for joining me on this mission to raise a generation of emotionally strong, compassionate, and confident children.
