My name is Abbie a mother of two children who are now thriving young adults, and a dedicated social worker with over twenty years in social care.

Throughout my career, I worked with hundreds of children, parents and young adults, guiding them through the everyday challenges of building resilience, independence, and self-confidence.

My work is rooted in compassion and practicality, helping families discover simple, evidence-based strategies that fit into real life. Drawing on both my professional expertise and my personal journey as a parent.

My book brings a warm, down-to-earth perspective to the challenges of raising confident kids. My goal is to give parents the words, tools, and encouragement they need to create calmer homes and braver children, one small step at a time.
