Bethelene is a Parenting & Childcare Expert with over 30 years of experience supporting families, educators, and schools across Canada. She’s worked as a Special Needs Resource Educator at the Child Development Institute, consulted with hundreds of schools and daycares, and leads workshops on emotional connection, child behavior, and relationship-based parenting. She’s also the author of The Magic Pee and Other Surprises and Ben’s Big Feelings in a Little Body—two children’s mental health books that help parents teach emotional literacy through everyday stories. Her work emphasizes building trust, validating children's feelings, and fostering positive behaviors through empathy and understanding.

After being misdiagnosed as a child and placed in a remedial class where no one believed in her potential, Bethelene returned to school as a mature student, graduated with honours, and became the advocate she needed growing up.
