Little Love Language
ABOUT HER
Hi, I’m Emily Barker, founder of Little Love Language and Child Behavior Specialist. My mission is empowering parents to turn challenging moments into opportunities to connect and grow with their children.
With a master’s degree in Special Education and years of experience as a reading specialist and preschool teacher, I bring a deep understanding of child development and behavior to my work. As a Child Behavior Specialist with training in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), I help parents decode their children’s behaviors, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and respond with greater confidence and connection.
I support families navigating big emotions, anxiety, OCD, challenging behaviors, sibling dynamics, and everyday parenting struggles. I also work one-on-one with children through play-based, developmentally appropriate activities that build emotional awareness, self-regulation, flexibility, and social-emotional skills.
Through personalized family support, one-on-one sessions with children, and collaboration with schools, I provide practical tools and thoughtful guidance to help parents better understand their children and build stronger, more connected relationships.
The Founder's Note
"When I met Emily, I immediately understood why she's so good at what she does. She's incredibly understanding, relatable, and has such a gift for helping parents make sense of the why behind their children's behaviors, especially in those moments when nothing seems to make sense. Trust me, you'll want Emily in your corner!"
- Olivia, Founder of The List
You’ll love working with me if you’re a mom who wants to feel more connected to your child, believes there’s a feeling behind every behavior, and is looking for a little more calm and confidence in the everyday chaos of parenting. If you value connection, emotional growth, and self-regulation, and appreciate a warm, judgment-free, down to earth approach (with a little New England charm!)
