Welcome to my website! I’m so glad you’ve discovered it.

First, a little bit about myself. I love learning about all kinds of subjects, and I love sharing what I learn through my writing and speaking. If you’ll take a few moments to explore the nav bar above, you’ll find under “About” that I write under two different names: Carol Goodman Kaufman and Carolinda Goodman.

There’s a reason for that. Back when I was a psychologist, I did a post-doc in criminology and published about various types of violence. Then, when grandchildren started arriving, I began to write for little ones. Given that today’s kids are a lot more technologically savvy than I (my own progeny can testify to that), I didn’t want children happening on the violence-related works online. That’s why I use Carolinda, my birth name, for the children’s books.

There are also tabs for my books, articles, podcasts, and upcoming events. And at the bottom, you’ll see a button to subscribe to my newsletters.

Please feel free to explore!
