I am recognized as having developed cutting-edge expertise in supporting early childhood clients. By intervening directly in the living environments where difficulties are experienced (daycares, family settings), I am able to highlight important issues and better understand the needs of each family.
I know that all age categories and all stages of child development have their share of challenges, their share of pleasure and happiness, as well as their share of questions and concerns. Early childhood is no exception, quite the contrary. The “no” phase, the “terrible twos,” that period when temper tantrums are commonplace. This period when the child needs to be able to assert themselves, dissociate from adults, and where they begin to forge their own identity will give even the most patient parents a hard time! During this period, they begin to move around better, and are thus less docile in following our instructions.
When I accompany families, it usually only takes minor changes in intervention methods to generate big changes. I intervene without pretension, without judgment, and with simplicity. Parents compare themselves to each other, read books about what is “normal” for a child of a certain age. It’s human to compare your children with those of friends, relatives, etc. Parents’ knowledge about child development is much greater today than it was 20 years ago. Needless to say, this is positive and educational since it is known that information and knowledge are power. At the same time, parents have a wealth of information at their disposal through the internet and libraries. An insidious trap awaits parents through all this information: performance anxiety and especially the anxiety of performance.

It is delicate to try to set standards before the age of 4 or 5 years. Each child has their own rhythm. Often within a few months, the child can suddenly grow, flourish, and catch up on certain developmental delays they had shown. It is therefore important not to worry too much if our child does not exactly meet the standards that are inside parenting books. It is nevertheless important to remain vigilant and to listen to your parental instinct.
