Thank you to Melissa who provided a very beneficial session on “Recognising Big Behaviours & Feelings” for our Pre-school Childcare Practitioners in Louth in April 2024. Great feedback from practitioners who gained a lot of useful information to support their everyday work with children!

I Can’t Recommend This Enough

I attended a talk in my local crèche in January 2024 called, “Understanding, Recognising and Responding to Big Behaviours at Home.” I can’t recommend this enough to parents. If you ever get an opportunity to attend one of Melissa’s talks, go. She was a wealth of information and shared so many strategies with us. I left feeling so much more informed and with a greater understanding of what was going on for both me and my son when he was having a big moment. Thank you so much, Melissa.
