Welcome!
I'm a freelance writer with a focus on discipline;
my goal is to bring parenting research to light. I stay up-to-date
with the latest findings on child development, brain science, behavior,
relationships, and parenting strategies, and I bring these results
to publication in a way that is easy for parents to understand and
apply to their own families. I write to translate parenting research
from "an interesting idea" to
a "how-to."
My work as a writer provides parents with new tools
for their parenting toolboxes, as well as helps families develop respectful,
connected relationships with each other. Successful discipline is more
about working with children than doing things to them, and my writing
informs parents how they can accomplish this. I write to show that moving
from power struggles to family harmony is infinitely valuable, emotionally
fulfilling, and absolutely possible.

articulates the essence of respectful
parenting. We need her voice
in the media to help educate parents on
long-term, effective, enjoyable discipline.
This is what it’s all about.”
