I love children! Especially babies and toddlers :) I am a mom of a beautiful sweet toddler and I have 20 years of experience working with children, teens and adults with and without developmental disorders, including autism, Asperger's, ADHD, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, etc. I have extensive knowledge of child development. My daughter said her first word at 4 months, put two words together at 9 months and at 14 months knows at least 50 words (I lost count). I understand how to nurture children in a no-pressure way, provide opportunities for thinking and learning without stressing them out or putting too many demands. I also have a lot of experience with children who are not motivated to follow adult's lead, who have challenging behaviors and difficulties following directions and learning. I have a very good intuitive sense of what the issues are in such cases, and know how to address Read more them.
