Meet Trish
Educators’ and parenting coach, Patricia Wilkinson, is coauthor of Readers’ Choice winner Brain Stages: How to Raise Smart, Confident Kids and Have Fun Doing It.
Trish has taught preschool through sixth grade, over 23 years, and is the mother of two children. By the time she and her husband decided to expand their family, she had worked with kids for 14 years and figured raising her own would be a breeze.
Ha! How naïve can you get?
Trish had to get proactive, intentional, and creative to support their twice-exceptional children in growing into successful adults.

Who knew kids need to drink the milk when they eat cereal because the vitamins are sprayed on in the factory? The Brain Stages Workshop was very informative and provided a lot of practical ideas. I highly recommend it. Thanks for the tips!

Lori Bogen, PhD
Brain Stages is an excellent tool for all parents wanting success for their child in elementary school. The grade level academic skills are on target, the games are engaging, and every parent can relate to the “Real Deal” stories. As a principal for 18 years and the GEAR-UP Site Director for the state of Ohio, I would tell all my parents their homework assignment is to read this book.
