The Parenting Resources Newsletter

One of my biggest frustrations with social media is that meaningful parenting conversations disappear almost as quickly as they're posted.

A helpful video might reach thousands of families one week, only to be buried beneath hundreds of newer posts the next.

I wanted to create something different. Evergreen.

The Parenting Resources Newsletter is where I can dive deeper into child development topics, share practical tools, highlight trusted community resources, and build an educational library that families can return to throughout their parenting journey.

Whether you're expecting your first baby, raising a toddler, navigating sibling dynamics, or working with young children professionally, my hope is that each newsletter helps you better understand children—and yourself.

Parenting is one of life’s most rewarding, yet challenging experiences. You might find yourself doing the opposite of what your parents did—or unknowingly following in their footsteps. It’s hard to know what’s “right,” especially with so many different voices telling you what to do. Parenting books, the internet, friends, family—all well-meaning, but sometimes the advice can be overwhelming, contradictory, or leave you second-guessing yourself. And when your toddler has a meltdown in the store, it can feel like the world is watching.

That’s where I come in.

My goal is to equip you with a “parenting toolkit,” filled with insights grounded in child development research and practical, skill-building advice. With over 16 years of professional experience in Early Childhood Education, I’ve trained and supervised hundreds of teachers and caregivers while working directly with thousands of children and families. Through this work, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the unfolding processes that shape your child’s early years. I’ll share with you the valuable lessons I’ve learned from both my hands-on experience and scientifically-backed research.

For example, try this simple yet powerful technique: even with a newborn, tell your baby what you're about to do before you do it—“I’m going to pick you up,” “I’m going to feed you,” “I’m going to put you down,” and so on. It’s a small shift that can help you become the mindful, present parent you aim to be.

Together, we’ll tackle the everyday challenges of parenting—from managing toddler tantrums to navigating the hurdles of sleep regressions, toilet learning, and picky eating. Throughout it all, we’ll focus on an approach that positions you as a loving guide, helping your child discover their innate sense of self-worth and compassion.
