Shelley Reynolds hopes to support people develop themselves as well as their families. Once she realized as a teenager is that humans became smart somehow, she began exploring the conditions that allowed us to invent such important things as needles, astronomy, pottery, soap, engineering, music, and cooking, and more.  Shelley also pursued information about  pro-social behavior, character traits, and conflict-resolution.She has been working with children and their families for 37 years, including teaching, tutoring, coaching parents, teaching knitting, and public speaking.  She can be reached at long.range.parenting@gmail.com.
