If you're here, you’re probably the kind of parent who looks at your child and wonders, “What’s really going on for them?”
Not “How do I fix this behavior?”
But “What is this telling me?”

That wondering — that instinct to get curious instead of corrective — is exactly what we follow here.

‍

What You'll Find

This is a space for parents who want to understand what’s happening under the surface when their child:

• melts down at Target
• struggles through mornings
• holds it together all day at school then unravels at home
• moves constantly when they’re trying to focus
• shuts down when the world feels too loud or too fast

We use what I call the brain and body lens: a way of seeing behavior as communication.

From there, we look across five interconnected domains — sensory, motor, emotional, executive function, and communication — because these systems are always working together.

When you start noticing what’s happening across these domains, “challenging behavior” suddenly becomes information.

Who This Is For

Parents whose kids are:

• sensory-seeking
• highly aware
• movement-oriented
• deeply feeling
• inconsistent across settings
• or whose internal experiences don’t always “make sense” from the outside

Maybe you’re starting to notice differences.
Maybe you just got a diagnosis and everything feels big.
Maybe you’ve been navigating this for years and want deeper understanding.

You might already be working with specialists, reading research, and gathering puzzle pieces.
You’re not looking for quick fixes — you want a framework that respects your child’s wiring.

What Makes This Different

I’m a former special education teacher, curriculum designer, and learning science researcher with a PhD in Education.
I’m also neurodivergent — and parenting a kiddo with a beautifully unique brain.

Little Brains & Bodies translates neuroscience and child development research into practical understanding, not prescriptions.

Not “here’s the right script.”
But “here’s what your child’s nervous system might be trying to tell you.”

The goal isn’t perfect mornings or eliminated meltdowns.
The goal is understanding your child’s brilliant, complex brain–and-body system well enough to support how it actually works.

If that sounds like what you've been looking for, you're in the right place.
