After many months and countless hours of writing, revising, and reflecting, my book proposal is finally complete. It weaves my experiences as a play therapist in private practice and school settings, and includes sixteen stories drawn from real moments of connection, resilience, and repair- along with one deeply personal story about losing my parents. At its heart, this work carries a powerful message: relationships are the foundation for healing, growth, and learning. I’m grateful for every child, family, and teacher who helped shape these pages- and I’m hopeful it inspires early childhood educators to be steady and kind influences in their young students lives.

One of the gifts from my work travels is meeting colleagues who become friends. Martin Silverman, based in texas by way of Brooklyn, NY, is one of them. A must read for early childhood educators, Little Learners, Big Potential illustrates through engaging stories and practical guidance, how everyday interactions, play, and relationships build children’s executive function, resilience, and long-term learning. Congratulations, Marty! You need to celebrate with a slice of pizza!

I just saw the Springsteen movie. As a child therapist, it hit hard. From my perspective, it’s a story about coming to terms with child trauma and realizing what you’re doing to cope isn’t working, and,
in the end, seeking therapy. It’s an important message. If your politics is an issue, kindly move on.
