Welcome!!!
Ever wonder why your preschooler suddenly hits?
Or fights with a sibling when you’re just hanging by a thread!?
After 30+ years as an early childhood teacher—working with thousands of under-5s—I can assure you: Your child is not trying to make your life difficult. They’re sending you messages—clues from their inner world.
And they’re doing it the only way they know how.
Your preschooler is trying to get you to understand things they don’t yet have the words or the emotional tools to explain.
Does your preschooler treat “No” as a suggestion?
What if there was a way you could connect with them and get their willing cooperation?
And avoid the drama…
I have 19 simple, everyday techniques (I call them “superpowers”) that I use to keep challenging preschooler behaviors from happening—or handling them when they arrive unannounced. I’ve “battle-tested” these superpowers over 30 years of early childhood teaching, and I've seen them turn everyday challenges into calm, gentle connection and effective outcomes. Again and again.
And the real bonus? When you use your “superpowers”, your child will feel truly connected WITH you (not controlled BY you).
You can go from power struggles with your preschooler to gentle parenting solutions that work. Just pick your “superpower” and start today.
About Me
I have 30+ years experience as a qualified early childhood teacher. I’ve worked “on the floor” with thousands of preschoolers and I’ve had four children of my own. Now I’m a grandmother with preschool-aged grandchildren.
So I guess you could say—if I haven’t seen it all, I’ve sure seen most of it!
Teachers Face a Unique Challenge.
All early childhood teachers have to manage children with very diverse personalities, home environments, and levels of development—and they have to do it fairly, consistently, and most of all, effectively (or there’ll be chaos!).
Teachers must manage children without conflicting with any of their parents’ parenting styles and without many of the strategies parents may rely on at home (like raised voices or withholding treats). There’s never any punishment in an early childhood centre and, teachers must follow the rules and regulations of their center, and regulatory authority. All these constraints force early childhood teachers to find GENTLE strategies that work.
It’s what I’ve done for all those years, and I’ve put all that experience into my two books in the hope they help you really enjoy those very special early years.

…and exhausting, confusing, and sometimes isolating—often all in the same day! Of course you’re doing your best, but some days you still wonder: “Am I doing this right?” or “Is anyone else going through this?”
You're not alone.
And soon, you won't have to figure it out alone either.
