“I am always on the lookout for wise people who can connect and communicate in common sense ways with today’s parents and those who work with children. These experts need to be able to make sense of many of the challenges that can happen in homes and in centres, and to then offer practical solutions that work.
Allison is one of my favourites who does this. She helps us all to make better choices and take better care of our precious brains in her unique, entertaining way.”
