Our Story

Courtney brings her expertise in child development and a focus on social-emotional learning and compassionate communication to Caring Courtney. She infuses her deep care for children and a belief in the importance of raising empathetic and kind individuals into every parenting tip, activity idea, and resource guide. Having worked with families and children for years, Courtney focuses on providing research-based advice, practical strategies, and encouragement that helps parents cultivate compassion and kindness in their children and create a caring family environment.
