Challenges Facing Children and Families:
The average child in America receives only 12.5 minutes
per day in communication with his/her parents. On the
average a child receives 400 negative comments compared
to only 32 positive comments per day. In a study of
children ages 1-12, the single most important
determinant of children's self-esteem is the perception
of how much they are valued by their parents.
Do You Recognize One of These Children?
A Teenager who breaks the rules
A Toddler who demands all of your attention
Siblings who fight
The Bully who pushes others around
The Whining Child who says "I CAN'T"
A Child wanting to be the Center of Attention
A Child who gets into Power Struggles?
This Course is for YOU!
In our fast-paced society, adults and children spend
much of their time in separate environments. We all want
to make the most of the time we have together, however,
it can become difficult for us to give of ourselves or
get what we want from our relationships.
You can have the kind of relationship with your children
you have always dreamed of, and you can help them
develop skills to become loving, motivated and
successful adults.
