Parenting Workshops

NO MORE YELLING!
You want what every parent wants: Good Kids.  Kids who are nice, clean, helpful, considerate, and smart.

You also want a close, loving relationship with them - maybe the kind that will last the rest of their lives.

Yelling, spanking, punishing, and bribing won’t get you there.

This 4-session workshop will give you the tools you need to raise HAPPY, CONFIDENT, SELF-DISCIPLINED
kids without yelling, spanking, or punishing.  You’ll learn how to:

• Communicate more effectively with your child - Determine just the right words to use that help your child
  feel loved and appreciated.  A happy child is less inclined to be a difficult child.
• Teach self-discipline - Get your kid to do what’s right, just because it feels good to do what’s right. 
  NOT out of fear of punishment, but out of the pure joy of being awesome.
• Raise baggage-free kids - Learn to recognize when you may be passing along your emotional baggage,
  from childhood, on to your child.  Raise kids who truly know, deeply love, and freely express themselves
  in the world.

No More Yelling! will be offered in-person, and as a telephone-based workshop.

HOW TO BE AN EXCEPTIONAL MOM (and raise EXTRAORDINARY KIDS)

You’re pregnant for the first time…Congratulations!  One question for you:  What kind of mom will you be?

How will you handle sleeping and feeding issues?
Toilet-training?  Tantrums?  Separation anxiety?
Peer pressure?  School performance?  Dating?

OK, no need to rush ahead 15 years…but seriously, how will you parent FROM DAY 1,
in a way that makes the pre-teen and teen years easy and fun?

There is a way.

Every choice you make with your child sets the foundation for the relationship you’ll have later in life.

“Exceptional Mom” is a workshop for the new or expectant mom who is ready to explore and decide,
“What Kind of Mom Do I Wish to Be?”  You’ll learn how to:

• Turn Baggage Into Treasure -  The Baggage-to-Treasure process helps turn
  ANY negative childhood memory (of parents, teachers, uncles), into a positive principle
  you can use to make you a better parent.
• Infuse Your Home with Love and Tenderness - The 9 Tools of the HEART-Based
  Parenting approach will make your home a place where every family member
  feels seen, heard, understood, and respected.
• Instill Self-Discipline from the Start - You and your child will get off on the right foot.
  You’ll learn exactly how to help your child stay deeply in touch with his/her needs, desires,
  feelings, and values.  Your kid will do right because that’s who he/she wants to be. 
  Not because he/she fears the consequences of doing wrong.  That way, your kid will
  do what’s right even when no one else is around.

“Exceptional Mom” will be offered in-person, and as a telephone-based workshop.

Marriage Workshops

STOP THIS TRAIN: Get Your Marriage Off the Divorce Track and On the Healing Track

Tired of feeling more lonely IN your marriage than you’d feel if you were by yourself?

Are you and your partner feeling distant, angry, fed up?  Are you trying your best to stay together -
for the kids, for appearances, for hope of a better day - but heading, slowly, painfully, toward divorce?

For 18 years, my husband and I held on to our marriage by a thin, frayed string.  Then, 2 years ago, I discovered
the tools that have made the past two years worth ALL  the pain of the previous 18.

Today we have a stronger, happier, more intimate marriage than we could ever have imagined.

You will learn the BEST techniques for creating a rock-solid marriage, filled with:

• Loving, Honest Communication - Learn how to express and explore your differences with complete honesty
  but in a way that is loving and respectful.  Find out how your differences can bring you closer rather than
  pushing you farther apart.
• Financial, Spiritual, and Intellectual Growth - Learn how to GROW together, helping each other become
  smarter, deeper, wiser (and even richer) than you were when you first married.
• Peaceful Parenting - Raise your kids as a team, using each of your strengths to provide the balance and
  security your kids need to thrive.

It’s fantastic to take this workshop as a couple.  But, even if it’s just you, the benefits will be incredible. 
(You can BE the healing you want to SEE in your marriage.)

“Stop This Train” will be offered in-person, and as a telephone-based workshop.

TRULY-WED NEWLYWEDS:  7 Steps to an Outrageously Happy Marriage
You’re about to tie the knot.  Cue the music, stay “I do,” and walk into the sunset happily ever after.

How do you keep your wedding bliss going for the next year?  10 years?  20 years?

What can you do to make sure you two ALWAYS feel close and deeply connected to each other?

The “Truly-Wed” workshop will give you and your new spouse the 7 Crucial Steps to keeping
your marriage loving, tender, and outrageously happy.

If everybody knew what you’ll learn in this workshop, the divorce rate would plummet.  You’ll learn how to:

• Grow Closer with Every Disagreement - Disagreements are inevitable.  But, believe it or not,
  your differences can pull you closer together, when discussed with respect and non-judgment.
  You’ll learn the best approaches and exact phrases to use to ensure your minor disagreements
  never blow up into major arguments.
• Understand Each Other (and Yourselves) More Deeply - Enjoy fun personality assessments.
  Gain new language to explain who you really are to yourself and to each other.  Grow more
  considerate of each others’ needs, gifts, and perspectives.
• Maintain Individuality Even in a Close Bond - As you TWO become ONE, you’ll still want to be
  recognizable as an individual (well, maybe not now, but, trust me, a few years from now you will).
  Learn how to make your home a safe, nurturing space for each of you to grow and change and BE.
  You’ll be better equipped to handle changes in job situations and lifestyles down the road.

“Truly-Wed” will be offered in-person, and as a telephone-based workshop.
