Bethelene is a Parenting & Childcare Expert with over 30 years of experience supporting families, educators, and schools across Canada. She’s worked as a Special Needs Resource Educator at the Child Development Institute, consulted with hundreds of schools and daycares, and leads workshops on emotional connection, child behaviour, and relationship-based parenting. She is also the author of several children’s books that support emotional literacy and help parents navigate big feelings through everyday stories. Her work emphasizes building trust, validating children's feelings, and fostering positive behaviours through empathy and understanding.

After being misdiagnosed as a child and placed in a remedial class where no one believed in her potential, Bethelene returned to school as a mature student, graduated with honours, and became the advocate she needed growing up. Today, she speaks on stages, leads workshops, and supports families with real, relatable tools that transform how we raise and connect with kids.
