A Little Bit About Me

A little bit about me. I have been working with children most of my life. I am the oldest of nine have around 21 nieces and nephews. Right out of high school I started working a lot of religious retreats with children of different ages. My best experiences have been working on a hospital children/adolescent unit of a psychiatric hospital. I then worked on a Residential Unit and for the past 3 years have been working as a case manager for children with mental health or behavioral concerns. I do not have my own children, but the hospital and Residential unit gave me the experience to know what it is like to work with some children who have behavioral concerns. I am not licensed nor do I speak with all authority. I do talk about what I know to work – what has worked for me, what I see as making improvements. The main difference you can make in your child’s life to improve his/her quality of life (that is if there are concerns) would be to improve consistency. Feel free to share your comments, concerns and questions. It’s a blog, my notes, you like it let me know, you don’t – you don’t have to read it?
