In Praise of ‘Difficult’ Kids 06/16/2026

As as an educator heading into my 35th year of working in schools & 15th year as a Head of School with the most amazing lil’ humans, and otherwise known as a former “exhausting” child myself (or so I was told), I am appreciating this quick summer read!

In Praise of ‘Difficult’ Kids Feisty children can be exhausting. They also possess a moral fire that deserves cultivating.

Had the beautiful opportunity to welcome back the extraordinary former and current female trustees, and leaders of the Marymount & school community a few weeks ago just to connect, say hello and share some gratitude. Over the past eight years we have made amazing strides, supporting our children and community to be the best version of ourselves. I couldn’t have done it without this group of amazing women. Today I salute you on women’s day. Excited to make this an annual event!
