How to Talk So Kids Will Listen Workshop



“Thank you so much for all you have done for our family and for me specifically as a parent in the past four months. The largest impact your coaching has had on me is that it has made the manner in which I parent much more present and at the forefront of my mind. It is no longer an after thought. I am more consistent and fluid with my parenting. I have more fun and I certainly enjoy the small details that were once much more cumbersome and negative prior to us starting. Your coaching has been so incredibly meaningful to our family. You have helped to create a future goal for our family and provided us with an array of tools to reach our goal in a fun, meaningful way. Your impact on our whole family has been tremendous and I so appreciate all you’ve done, continue to do and all you stand for. You are remarkable.”

“Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.”
~Robert Fulghum


“Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework – an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.”
~Betty Friedan, U.S. writer
