About Alexandra

I believe in cultivating meaningful relationships with children through compassion and understanding, rather than intimidation and demands. My experience in the field of Early Childhood Education has taught me that when children behave in challenging ways, they are communicating a message to us in the only way they know how. I will work with you to decode that message and help you get through any behaviour challenges you may be facing, while preserving your connection with your child.
