Testimonials

I hope this course gets made into a book. I needed this when my kids were first born. I love my parents but they definitely didn’t do discipline this way. Thank you for your help with both my kids.

This was easy to understand but also super in depth. I feel like I not only have a better understanding of children but also of myself. I still lose it on my kids from time to time, but way less. We talk more and are more connected than ever.

As a new pre-k teacher I felt a little lost and this course provided me a lot of inspiration-- especially when it comes to understanding why “old school” discipline isn’t the most healthy for children.

I love all the extra resources ICP offers and I have already bought a ton of the books they recommended! I am making my husband take this course now so we’re both on the same page- thank you for making this information available!

The instructor is SO relatable-- it feels like your listening to another mom not a psychologist. I found all the tools super helpful and I feel so empowered to do better for my kids. I also marched myself down to therapy after realizing so much of my own baggage was getting in the way.

Tammy approaches her clinical and educational work with parents and professionals with an attachment and neurobiological lens: all of her work is based on the neurology of the brain and how attachment is integral to adaptive functioning of both children and adults. As a child who endured much trauma in her past she speaks about her personal experiences with family substance abuse, domestic violence, emotional abuse, and how the power of connection is integral to healing and overcoming adversity.

Tammy is passionate, empathic, and down to earth. Her no non-sense approach, woven with humor and personal narratives makes her relatable and her information about mental health, interpersonal neurobiology, trauma, and attachment easy to digest for the audience.

The Institute of Child Psychology was founded to educate parents and professionals on issues pertaining to children’s mental health, and to promote the psychological and emotional well-being of children and adolescents. Our mission is to empower caregivers (i.e., parents, teachers, therapists, social workers, psychologists ) by giving them pertinent insights, skills, and tools necessary to help children thrive.
