Years of working with children and adults have helped me gain a wide-encompassing view of how people seek, attain, and use knowledge. There is no one right way to parent or educate, just as there is no one right way to learn.
How is this done?
First, is working directly with young children and their adults. By providing live classes and playgroups, I can help connect adults to their children by modeling fun, interactive ways to engage together. Using music and movement together helps adults feel less inhibited during these experiences, allowing the child to form bonds with their caregiver. Some options include Baby Mombo (babywearing dance fitness), Strong Mama (prenatal/postnatal fitness class), and Share & Sing (music and movement class).
Second, is working to build capacity in adults. Parents, educations, and related professionals have incredible, long-lasting effects on young children. By building capacity through workshops and professional development trainings, attendees can bring new knowledge to all of their future interactions. I provide current research and evidenced-based information in easy-to-understand sessions, allowing attendees to implement their new knowledge immediately. There are too many options to list here, but all are listed on my website.
