What if we taught our kids that not sharing is actually okay?

Today’s generation of gentle parents is now holding space, in millennial speak, for the anti-sharing stance, as the guiding principle of their ideology is to view children as people deserving of respect and not blind followers of ‘do what I say’ parenting.

Testimonials

Management and leadership courses offered by an Early Childhood Educator truly is a gift in this line of work. Julie Hansen’s insight and understanding of childcare and early learning dynamics developed my skills and confidence as a manager. Her ideas are innovative, thoughtful and easy to implement for myself and my team. I enjoyed my one to one coaching calls, team workshops and leadership series I have taken with Julie. I recommend her to any new or veteran ECE or ECE Manager.

I would recommend Julie Hansen, Inspired ECE to anyone in the Early Childhood Education field! Julie has been a positive influence in my life with all of her workshops and resources. Julie has so much knowledge of all of the areas of Early Childhood Education and quality early learning experiences. I always walk away with something new and many ideas to take back to my own programs after attending a workshop with Julie . I’ve also done a consultation with Julie regarding recruiting ECE’s and she had so much advice to offer. Thanks to Julie’s advice, I was able to hire not one but TWO Educators for my center. If you’re looking for professional development opportunities and/or professional consulting, I highly recommend connecting with Julie!
