With experience not only raising our two biological children, but also children who have behavioral issues, I tend to give real-world advice. While I do not have a degree in child psychology, I do have a great deal of real world experience with children of all ages and types, thanks, in part, to our unique family and to being a foster mother.

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!
