I've been learning about parenting my whole life. As the oldest of six kids, I started learning young. Once I became pregnant with our first child, I dove into learning more.
Below are some of the parenting-related programs, trainings, courses, and certifications I have completed.
Happy to chat with you about these topics, the courses, and, of course, your important questions. ❤
