JSimens Helping Families Worldwide

The only thing you can be sure you can move around the world is your child’s ability to thrive. In order to do this you need to help your children build up their interpersonal skills. Emotions are common in all languages and all cultures. Organizations hire me for my experience. Parents seek me for my heart. Kids benefit the most when I use both. As a parent, you can help your child build his or her emotional and basic social skills and you can do this in any location of the world. Using a wide range of emotions and the ability to understand when and why to use them are important for all children.
