Is Your Preschooler Struggling to Fit In?
The preschool years can be a time of significant growth and change for your child, but they can also bring new challenges—especially if your child is neurodiverse. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about how to support your child during this stage, you’re not alone. I am here to help you navigate these crucial years with confidence and compassion.
Navigating the Preschool Year

-

- Addressing Communication Difficulties or Behavioural Challenges: Does your child have trouble expressing themselves, or are you dealing with frequent tantrums or other challenging behaviours?
