About Us

Barbara has been in private practice for 40+ years, and concurrently to that, worked in the area of child abuse protection and prevention for 17 years. She was a Case Coordinator for UF’s Child Protection Team from 1983 to 1987, and in 1987 became the Director of the Child Abuse Prevention Project (CAPP), also managed by UF’s Department of Pediatrics.

In the work with CAPP, Barbara developed and coordinated a home visiting program for parents to provide parent education and support services. This work increased her interest and expertise in the area of parenting, and she subsequently created a parent education website called The Successful Parent in 2000. That website is operating and continues to be active today.
