When Your Kids are Smarter than You!

This picture is from Nick's apartment at MIT. I just thought it was a great pic as it reveals the complexity of what he is working on and his sweet dedication to Trouble and Gillie, his dogs. Nick surpassed me in smarts a long time ago! Posted by Picasa

About Me

My photo
Joan Young (aka Mancini)
Redwood City, CA, United States
I am a middle school teacher after teaching Kindergarten/1st grade and 4th grade for many years. I work/teach in northern California in the San Francisco Bay area. I have an M.A. in Clinical Psychology and I am passionate about helping kids discover their strengths and become excited about learning. I also work as a 1:1 coach/tutor with kids who struggles with learning due to challenges like ADHD, depression, executive functioning issues, Asperger's and Dyslexia. I learn more and more each day from them as I see them build their awareness and confidence that they "can learn" when given both strategies that work for them along with validation that everyone learns "their way."
