Hi, my name is Claire! I'm a mother to two young children, an early interventionist, and a behavioural therapist with over a decade of experience supporting families and children with special needs. I am also a certified parenting educator through Dr. Laura Markham's program.
This journal was born out of a desire to nurture meaningful connection between parent and child in the small, everyday moments. It was a cherished experience for me and my child, and I hope it becomes the same for you.
"The connection you build with your child is the foundation for everything else in their life.”
