hi there!
I'm Danica.
I'm an early childhood educator, university lecturer/tutor, practicum supervisor and, most importantly, mama to a delightfully curious 5 year old and squishy delishy 8 month old.
As an early childhood educator, consultant, and parent myself, I know firsthand how confusing it can be to navigate the noise around behaviour - particularly in the realm of rewards. Do we? Don't we?
That’s why I’ve created this guide - to help you feel clear, confident, and supported.
I can't wait for you to see what's inside x
