Homework Battles: Why Letting Go Might Be the Smartest Move You Make
Homework is supposed to help children learn, but for many families, it just creates stress, tears, and tension. Research shows it has little impact on learning, especially in primary school.

Why I Work With Parents…Not Kids
Parents often tell me they feel like they’ve tried everything; sticker charts, rewards, consequences, but nothing seems to shift their child’s behaviour. That’s because the real change doesn’t come from a quick fix. It comes when parents are equipped with clarity, connection, and the right tools to guide their child day to day.
I don’t step in to replace a parent. I work with parents, because they are the constant in their child’s life. When parents see their child in a fresh way, everything begins to connect and that’s when breakthroughs happen.
