I am a mom, credentialed school counselor, and now a children's book author. I was an early childhood educator for many years before launching into the counseling profession. I first coached parents through a nonprofit organization and now I a m a c r edentialed school counselor in the public school system. Through my experience, I've come to realize that as parents and educators, we are our children's models. We help guide the m and coach them through dif ficult moments; for this reason, I have been inspired to write books that will help give you th e tools need ed to lea d your children into social-emotional success. If you found this book helpful, I would truly appreciate you r review!
