I have been a classroom primary (elementary) teacher for more than 20 years, mostly with senior students. I now run my own business, High Hopes Educational Services, working with parents and their children (and sometimes teachers) on a range of issues such as transition from primary to high school; organisational skills; time management; understanding learning styles to assist with effective study and work routines at home; prioritising tasks; developing a balance between work and play; how to 'get started' on writing that essay or assignment!

I can answer questions on dealing with the difficult behavior of babies, toddlers, preschoolers, school children and teenagers. I can also help with issues such as bed wetting, head lice, thumb sucking and other childhood concerns. I can offer advice on children and homework, communicating with your child’s teacher and coping with bullying, amongst other school issues. If there is a parenting issue I can’t answer, I am honest about it, and try my best to refer the questioner to somewhere where they can find an answer.
I am the author of www.parents-in-a-pickle.com a website dedicated to helping parents deal with challenging and difficult behavior.
