I am an early childhood and language development specialist and a mom of two daughters and one son who are now (unbelievably) teenagers, We currently live in the Boston area. I am originally from Norway but I have lived in Tokyo for extended periods of time, both as a child and as a parent. My interests include language development, cultural norms, and issues related to raising children in cross cultural settings. I recently founded Nurturance, a website dedicated to helping parents develop routines and parenting practices that foster creativity and independence. I write about the issues I am passionate about, hoping to provide professional development opportunities for parents and to translate research findings into articles parents will want to read.
