A cheerleader can praise a player on the field, but can’t teach that player how to make the goal. It is the coach who teaches the player how to follow the rules, make the goal and win the game. In this workshop, parents learn how to coach their child with encouragement and training that will enable them to win in the game of life.
An action taken to change an inappropriate behavior constitutes effective discipline. Too often, we choose a form of punishment that may stop the wrong behavior in the moment, but doesn’t bring about a change in attitude to prevent the difficulties in the future. In this workshop, learn the most effective discipline that puts boundaries in place without building walls between you and your child.

What can parents do to keep their child from becoming lost in the screen world? Find out in this life-saving workshop.
In our highly competitive society, it’s no wonder that an estimated 31.7% of 13-16 year olds suffer from an anxiety disorder, putting them at a higher risk to perform poorly in school, suffer social and emotional instability, and engage in substance abuse, which can all lead to clinical depression. An in-depth look at an alternative perspective on prevention rather than treatment.
Four stages of child development, each with two “soul questions” that children need satisfied, are explained in this discussion-based workshop. Parents will identify the root cause of struggles in their children from birth to adulthood. Clear goals and best training methods are defined that enable parents to help their children grow in maturity and responsibility.
