I offer classes, talks and workshops to schools and churches. I encourage you to host parent education in your community! Hosting a series of parenting classes nurtures the growth of true community. Parents gain a shared language and common tools with which to effectively deal with parenting problems and foster the development of mutual respect, responsibility and problem solving skills in their children. Children benefit from the consistency of similar techniques and strategies used by adults within the community. Parents are able to support the implementation of new skills, offering to one another suggestions and empathy while encouraging one another to use parenting that is kind and firm at the same time. Parenting classes benefit the whole community!
