Expertise:  I can answer questions where practical advice is sought in relation to behaviour issues of 2-6 year olds. 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.

Experience in the area
I am an experienced group facilitator and counsellor. I have been involved in setting up and facilitating community support groups for mothers for 6 years. I have three boys, ages 6, 4 and a 7 month old. I have spent alot of time observing personality differences in children and understanding how these differences can be used to make parenting easier. I developed the Early Childhood Personality Rating Scale for identifying child personality types in children as young as two. I am director of Parent with Potential. I developed and facilitate The Prechooler Personality Program and other parenting seminars so parents can better understand their children.
