ABOUT SINK OR SWIM

Inspired by my journey as a single mother of two amazing children (now grown up!), and by my career teaching and developing educational programs, I had the idea to write Sink or Swim almost 20 years ago.  My hope is that my personal stories can help YOU go from surviving to thriving in your family’s journey of parenting and co-parenting.

Sink or Swim shares practical tips, insights and my own personal experiences as a parent to help YOU navigate the challenges of raising kids in today’s world. The book focuses on positive strategies to work through challenges with technology, routines, emotional regulation and communication. It shares the importance of early child brain development, and nurturing creativity and passion, in your child and yourself. The book is a go-to resource to help YOU raise happy, healthy, and resilient kids. You and your children will learn the stuff they don’t teach in school and what your parents didn’t teach you.

The book is not just about parenting techniques. It’s about looking inward as well, and  reflecting on your own values. To really know what YOU want for yourself and your family.  Every family is special, there is no one approach that works.  We explore together through my stories what feels “right” to you.  

My hope is that you feel calm, confident, and connected to your kids after reading Sink or Swim.
