"If I had an infant, a small child, or a teenager today, I would want every person in his or her life to read The New Physics of Childhood to make sure we are all on the same page regarding what is in the best interest of my child and their future! This is what I had in mind while writing this book."

A slice of life my experience as it relates to children: I am the eldest of five, the mother of three grown daughters and the grandmother of seven. I have been a married stay-at-home mom and also a struggling, working single mother. I had two homebirths, and have attended the births of six of my grandchildren. I have been a babysitter, nanny, pre-school teacher, after-school program teacher, junior high and high school teacher, nutrition/stress management educator, and community organizer of youth. I have been involved with the lives of children all over the world and most recently, children and families from
Advocating for those who don’t have a voice is the strongest thread of my fabric, especially children, teens, the elderly and immigrant populations.
THE NEW PHYSICS OF CHILDHOOD is filled with the many lessons I have learned from both formal and personal training, and from the hundreds, if not thousands of children, adolescents and adults I have been blessed to connect with in my life.
THE NEW PHYSICS OF CHILDHOOD is a philosophy that has evolved from all of the above experiences in my life. I feel like the luckiest person alive to be able to share what I know with you!
Most Gratefully,
