Elizabeth Norris U.S. Available View Profile Ask A Question View Past Answers	Knowledgeability 9.86 Clarity of Response 9.86 Timeliness 10.0 Politeness 10.0 Total Questions 58	I would like to help you raise children who are respectful and responsible and who seek positive outcomes for themselves and their interactions with others. Each child has their own learning style and each family has their own individual culture. I look for creative ways to address problems or concerns that arise when guiding young children. I am an Early Childhood Special Education teacher and work providing support and ideas to families of young children in the home. I have an understanding of typical and delayed development and can identify red flags in children who can benefit from specialized services. I also teach positive parenting courses to help parents understand why children misbehave and to develop strategies to effectively respond to those behaviors while honoring individual family values. I have a specific interest in children labeled as difficult, attention deficit or oppositional defiant. I am committed to finding ways children can positively participate in family or community activities. I empathize with children who don’t feel they are fitting in and for parents who worry and feel criticized. I have a sense of humor and look for ways to reduce frustration and to foster playful interactions.

I have an obsession with finding the perfect baby product for whatever need I have. I spend hours online researching my purchases from car seats to strollers to toys. I stop moms in the mall or at the park if I see them with something that I'm curious about. Now that my kids are getting bigger and I don't get to buy all those great little gadgets for myself, I'm helping other mothers find the best products to fill their needs!

I specifically look at the influence of personality in a child's behaviour and tailor advice to suit the individual child and parent. This is useful since not all children are the same. I can suggest techniques for tantrums, child aggression and sibling rivalry and adapting to change.
