    Parent Workshops

    These are some of the parent workshop topics we offer. Our custom-designed workshops assist you by identifying strategies by which parents can help their schools enhance their children's education and intellectual development. Let us know your needs!

    Disability Awareness & Sensitivity Training  First-hand accounts of success stories from those who have risen above their challenge, who fully accept and embrace it, and now inspire others (both able and disabled) to learn to reach beyond themselves.

    School Violence  What can parents do? Where do we stand? What are the warning signs? How can we partner with the school to stem this tide of violence? These are some of the questions that will be posed, discussed, and answered in this honestly approached, informative workshop.

    Bullying & Sports Violence  What are some of the solutions to peer conflict in school and on the playing fields? How can parents remain part of the solution and not become part of the problem out on the fields of play? This workshop provides effective strategies for resolving conflicts rather than revolving around them.

    Filling Your Own Cup  What if you could develop strategies and a plan for taking care of your own needs so that you have more energy for your children? This workshop is chock full of suggestions for ways in which parents can refuel and thus enhance their own and their families' day to day lives.

    Communication Skills  Developing a plan of action for communicating more effectively with your children and significant others in your life. As a parent, dealing with your child’s physical, emotional and social growth processes can be extremely challenging. We help you find creative ways to connect with your kids and create new levels of understanding and acceptance in your household.

    Stress Management  Hands-on techniques to effectively reduce your level of stress, when and where you need it. You will walk away from this workshop more relaxed, centered, and peaceful. Parents will also be able to utilize what has been taught when stress enters their lives.

    Turning Obstacles into Possibilities  Is there a road map to overcoming obstacles? One of our presenters will make that case through sharing their own personal, inspirational journey.

    ADD From The Inside  An insider’s look at what it is like to have Attention Deficit Disorder. Identifying the hope and possibilities through this first-hand perspective will help participants with their own family or friends who may be dealing with ADD.

    How to Do the Impossible!  What if you had the concentration of a Tiger Woods, the energy of a Michael Jordan, and the attitude of a Sarah Hughes? In this session, you will discover the mental secrets of the superstars. You'll also test them out and do things you thought you were never capable of doing. This session is designed so that you'll be more productive when you return home and to the office.

    Parenting Workshops

    Program Objectives:

    To provide parents and guardians with the information that they need to be able to better connect with their child. To establish a dialogue with parents about what assistance and knowledge they may need to become a better parent or guardian.

    Program Highlights:

    Speakers focus on examining ways in which parents can first connect with themselves and then make that connection between parent and child. Topics that help bring about this goal include, "bridging the gap" between the child's perception of the world and the parent's perception and how we need to see things from both angles. Learning to listen is another major area that speakers touch on.

    "In speaking with students since your workshop, their comments were very favorable and positive. Several parents telephoned about the evening, saying that they found your presentation stimulating and doubly significant -- for students and parents. We agree that throwing away our fears and facing the daily challenges with enthusiasm and adventure, will help us all to accomplish our goals: to achieve excellence in spite of obstacles." -- Jane Fiore, Rogate Coordinator, Mt. Hebron School, Montclair, New Jersey

    "Your talk was an amazing success! The adults seemed to find inspiration in your discussion of overcoming obstacles and negativity in order to fulfill one's dreams. I loved your talk and its messages and your ability to reach different age groups at their level of experiences." -- Lisa Lorelli, Cub Scouts

    "Your insightful comments and humorous anecdotes made our kick-off meeting most enjoyable for both students and parents." -- Steve Griggs, Director of Athletics, Newark Academy, Newark, New Jersey
