Amanda Hyer – Positive Discipline & Montessori Specialist
“I work with parents and teachers to find their own voice while working with children, with the goal of creating an atmosphere of creativity, confidence and collaboration within the family or classroom community.
I start by listening to what you love about your child/ren, what is your favorite time of day. Then, what do you wish was different? From there we start to build strategies and environments that can radically change both behaviors and relationships within the family and classroom community based on your expressed needs.
I have deep empathy for family challenges and messy dynamics. Helping empower adults to be their best self with their children is my superpower.”
