THE YES, AND NEWSLETTER
Connection First. Always.
Join the mailing list for real-life tools on connection and co-regulation, for you and the kids in your life.
Hi, I’m Courtney.
I’m an educator, researcher, and former school leader. I spent years helping adults understand how kids learn and grow. Then my own family needed this work, and before I could teach it to anyone else, I had to learn it for my son and for myself.
Here’s what that taught me: kids don’t calm down because we tell them to. They borrow calm from the adults around them. That’s co-regulation, and it starts with connection.
It’s why I founded The Yes, AND Foundation. We help parents, educators, and caregivers stay connected, respond with intention, and repair when things go sideways. Because when adults are equipped, children benefit.
This newsletter is where I share what I’m learning, writing, and building, and the life moments that keep teaching me. I’d love for you to be part of it.
