With over 30 years of combined experience, Kristen and Melissa have worked with children and their families across a variety of settings.
As a doctoral level school social worker and a certified positive discipline parent trainer Kristen has encountered the multifaceted impact a family’s social and emotional functioning can have on their discipline approach as well as the impact it have on a child’s behavioral needs.
As a school psychologist and board certified behavior analyst, Melissa is familiar with the impact that a child’s social emotional functioning can have on the behaviors they display within the classroom and at home.
However, the most important role both Kristen and Melissa have in life is that of being a parent. As parents they can understand the daily struggles we all face within our homes and within our family unit. They can relate to our attempts to juggle the day to day struggles life can throw at you while also trying to maintain a peaceful home environment. As a result, they are eager to share some tried and true strategies that can be helpful both in homes or at school. Kristen and Melissa create a judgment free environment where families and educators can share their experiences and seek support while learning new strategies to add to their toolbox.
