Kathy Sheehan

Kathy loves kids! She has two of her own and she has taught over five thousand or so! She is yet to find a kid she doesn't love unconditionally. Sure some of their behaviours drive her crazy but she knows that every single kid on the planet is irreplaceable because each one of them has an important and unique role to fill.

It is Kathy's mission to teach kids about their 'good' and 'bad' sides and how the rest of them works too. She thinks this will help kids understand themselves so they can cope with life's problems, believe in themselves and eventually be confident enough to follow their dreams! (It is her dream for kids to follow their dreams!)

Here's her book blurb which includes her quals and experience!
