Transformative Behavior Strategies at Your Fingertips

I’m Jo, a dedicated child advocate with a career spanning over three decades. My journey began at Norland College in the early 90s and has since been filled with enriching experiences, from volunteering in nurseries and crèches to providing bespoke family support. My approach is rooted in the Montessori method, fostering independence and a lifelong love for learning in children during their formative years.

Through my Norland training and understanding of Montessori pedagogy, I offer parents and carers practical and enjoyable ways to engage with their children. My guidance is gentle yet firm, aiming to establish clear communication and boundaries. I advocate for positive discipline as a means to help parents understand the different tools that can be implemented throughout their child’s life. These tools are flexible and can be adapted to various situations.

My primary goal is to equip parents with the necessary tools to support their families. If you need guidance or assistance in creating a plan of action to support different behaviours, I’m here to help through various mediums, always in a gentle and kind manner. Let’s work together to create a nurturing environment for your children. Welcome aboard!
