This book is dedicated to my family. To my husband, Chris, for constantly suggesting I can do things I would otherwise never dream, let along attempt to do. To my beautiful children, Fiona and Sofia, who give me so much opportunity to practice what I teach. To my parents and my niece Catrina, for the support and love they give. And to my sister, whom I miss terribly. I love you all so much. To my students, my colleagues, and the families I have served over the years-thank you. This journey is a result of all your generosity, kindness, and wisdom. You are the ones that give me the passion and interest to learn more and share that information in an effort to improve the lives of all children and families.
