Have you ever had that feeling in your gut...like something is wrong? Maybe it's happened with your child. You have concerns with their learning, or a teacher's advice doesn't seem to fit what you needed. That's why I started Primary Focus.

Have you ever had that feeling in your gut...like something is wrong?
Maybe it's happened with your child. You have concerns with their learning, or a teacher's advice doesn't seem to fit what you needed.
That's why I started Primary Focus.
Often when parents and teachers are talking, the full story isn't shared. There isn't enough time to truly talk, or maybe one person is holding back.
When I was teaching, there were a lot of things I wanted to say that I felt like a couldn't.
But now, I work with parents every day to explain the side of the story.
Here are some recent clients I've helped:
- A first grader was repeatedly getting punished for the same issue, but the child was not changing their behavior. I worked with their parent to plan alternative consequences and solutions to the problem. They pitched the ideas during the parent teacher conference. That child now comes home from school smiling every day.
- A second grader was suddenly struggling with subtraction despite consistently performing well in math. I created a learning plan to help the parent reinforce counting backwards from 100 and by 10s.
- A mother was struggling to make homework time efficient for her two children. I overhauled her homework routine so they can complete work efficiently and without whining.

Things I Love (contains affiliate links)
👗 Perfect Work Dress: I wore this sweater dress on the news last week. It is a stretchy sweater dress with feminine ruffled trim on the skirt. I usually avoid sweater dresses, but this one fits beautifully. I liked it so much I bought it in black and dusty blue.
💄 under eyes: I started using this color corrector eye concealer. You put it on underneath regular eye concealer. What a game changer- it really covers up! I use the shade peach, but darker skin tones would use apricot.
👖 Fav Leggings: This time of year you kind find me wearing my ponte leggings on a daily basis. They are made of a knit material that makes them look more like real pants than leggings.
💘 Wishing you a wonderful Valentine's Day
