Hi, I’m Trish Wilkinson. I love kids. I was a teacher for decades, and I’ve taught all levels, preschool through sixth grade. 

Yet my own kids had challenges with attention, anxiety, and auditory processing. I tried everything I knew, and then I tried some more, but still, I felt like I was failing my children.

I sought the advice of doctors, psychologists, and neurologists, and I read everything I could get my hands on. I learned a lot, and the information helped, but I wanted to enjoy my children more (and have my children enjoy me) . . . Like I knew we could.

After years of research, collaboration with some innovative experts, and a relentless tenacity of my own, I began to connect the pieces like a puzzle. I developed tools and learning techniques that truly began changing our lives. My kids began to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. And today, they’re successful adults!

These tools worked so well for our kids that I brought the best ones to my classrooms. Students’ behavior improved, they began to believe in themselves and become more independent in their learning. Our test scores rocked. We won the district essay contests. 

And I started to help other educators and families. 

Here’s what I found:

EVERY parent and educator can enjoy their kids, while they support them in learning to thrive in our complicated world. 

They just need the right tools!

Although Jackie passed away prior to the Brain Stages release, our goal was to empower as many families and students as possible with brain-based, practical tips, that foster children’s competence and confidence as well as help them develop healthy relationships.
