Yetunde’s passion for mentoring stems from her own childhood experience growing up in a polygamous family without secure attachment. Losing her mother at an early age, she navigated a complex family structure and was fortunate to find a secure attachment outside her immediate family. This experience shaped her deep commitment to providing socio-emotional support for children and adolescents, helping them build resilience and succeed in life.
Research shows that adolescence is a time of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional changes. Adolescents experience significant shifts in their family relationships, school environments, and peer affiliations, all of which impact their motivation and learning (Berks & Meyers, 2016). Studies also reveal that the adolescent brain undergoes extensive remodeling in response to experiences during development (Berks & Meyers, 2015; Hutchinson, 2015). Children with secure attachments thrive because they have significant others who are available, responsive, and supportive, enabling them to navigate adolescent challenges successfully.
Yetunde is committed to mentoring, advocacy, and evidence-based interventions that help children and young adults unlock their full potential. She is a visionary problem solver and a dedicated planner, known for tackling challenges head-on and successfully guiding students toward personal and academic success.
Her biggest professional accomplishment is her deep understanding of the factors influencing children’s behavioral, socio-emotional, and academic performance. She develops and implements strategic interventions that address these factors, ensuring that students have the resources they need to excel.
Through YetOshkal Educational Services, Yetunde continues to mentor, advocate, and empower children using an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating:
- Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL)
- Developmental Models (DM)
- Culturally Responsive Practices (CRP)
- Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Yetunde remains passionate about ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive, achieve their goals, and contribute meaningfully to society.
