How To Finally Focus On What Matters & Watch The Child Bloom

Parenting today is loud, overwhelming, and often filled with conflicting advice. Bringing Up the World offers a grounded, compassionate approach, inviting readers to step back from pressure and reconnect with what truly supports children’s growth.  Rather than offering rigid formulas, this book encourages thoughtful reflection—supporting adults in leading themselves so they can better support the children in their care. Available in print, digital, and audiobook formats.

Recognized, Shared, and Celebrated.

Bringing Up the World has been featured on a Times Square billboard in New York City and shared with readers through bookstore signings and community conversations. These moments reflect not just a book launch but a growing dialogue around intentional parenting, leadership, and child development.

One Concept Readers Often Return to

In Bringing Up the World, I introduce the idea of micro-wins: small, intentional shifts that create meaningful change over time.

This short video offers a gentle explanation of the concept and how it can support parents and educators in noticing progress without pressure.

Where were you 13 years ago?? From the first chapter, I was scribbling notes and catching myself in regrets - but not too late!! Working to incorporate your suggestions in my parenting of a TEEN!! DP yourself a favour, folks: get the book early! But it for expectant parents, parents of your children, grandparents and teachers too!!

Just finished this amazing book! This is a must! As a mother of three kids, I devoured this book. This book made me feel at home, made me think and made me want to do more for my kids. I resonate so much with this way of raising kids. I was one of the thousands of kids she worked with and I’m more than proud to be able to read this and to apply all the knowledge she shared with my kids. If you are looking for a good parenting book focusing on helping a child bloom, this is the book.

This book helped me rethink what really matters in parenting. It’s warm, practical, and full of insights that make you slow down and focus on what truly helps a child thrive. I loved the gentle reminders and real-life examples. This is the kind of book you keep coming back to.
