I am a stay at home mother and I have two children, a 4-year-old son, and a 2-year-old daughter. I went out looking to BUY a book of this nature to potty train my son. It didn't exist; and this is where it led me!

I have read numerous parenting books about the psychology and benefits of using Reward Charts and surveyed over 100 mothers about their experienceses. This knowledge coupled with my own experience and research aided me in writing and creating 'Toddler Reward Charts'.

I have a diverse background including everything from professional cake decorating to engineering and design. I have lived all over the United States (Indiana, Ohio, Texas, Arizona and California), and all over Ireland (Athlone, Cork and Clonmel). The many mothers and friends whose input was used to create this book were Irish, American, Canadian, English, and Australian. My past interest includes skydiving, scuba diving and countless other dangerous sports and interest. But now I am a stay at home mother, living in rural Ireland, and children that stay in their bed at night, and eat their dinner, is what excites me!
