Tara's Take - Parenting, Education & Life

Tara Gratto M.S.Ed, MA, OCT

Tara's Take is a fresh take on parenting, education and life with kids rooted in experience, expertise and a deep commitment to life-long learning.

Over the last two decades I’ve been working with children and families in a variety of different roles and responsibilities including teacher,  guidance counsellor and administrator as well as spending 7.5 years as a preschool owner.

Along the way I've discovered there are things parents never learned that are helpful to understand, topics in education that need more discussion to support children more effectively and elements of life with kids that need a space for more discussion.

My passion is making emotional regulation & social emotional well-being understandable, relatable and easy to implement. My goal is to help everyday parents and caring adults build skills and tools that are fun, effective and will support you and your child's unique needs.

If you are just joining me, this podcast used to be called Raising Resilient Children with Tara Gratto and I took some off to reflect on my goals moving forward and how I want to shape the vision of this podcast and the topics covered here. It's increasingly important to me that this is a space where diverse types of parents and caring adults can feel welcome and supported.

I haven't completely abandoned the RRC brand, I've just reset my vision. Raising Resilient Children is still the name of my Membership Community where my signature parenting program Building Resilience Through Kindness can be found. You can find more about that on my website HERE
