“I went to see Kaylene present her ‘Managing Young Children’s Emotions and Meltdowns’ seminar recently. Not only is she an excellent speaker where you are hooked on every word, you can easily relate to her insight and wisdom. A must see presentation for anyone with young kids, you’ll be thanking her and her techniques every day and wishing you knew her secrets sooner”

“We are the owners of three Child Care Centres on the North Shore of Sydney. We organised for Dr Kaylene Henderson to come down to Sydney to do separate presentations to our parents and staff. We were extremely pleased with the outcomes from the presentations.
Kaylene has a wealth of knowledge – her presentations were targeted to the specific needs of each group and she engaged very effectively with practical and relevant advice. We had positive feedback from both parents and staff and Kaylene was very generous with her time in answering questions. We felt this was a real value-add to our centres.”
