Communicate with more love and less fear.

What's New

Clear Head, Full Heart, Strong Voice

Posted on September 8th, 2010

It is Fall, 2010 and a new season begins.  Soon, I will schedule several library classes where I invite you to join me and other parents for a short evening of conversation and learning.

We will talk about whatever issues you are most concerned about.

Together we will learn how to respond to each situation (and the fear, anger, confusion, stress, sadness that you feel about it) combining a rational thought process (head), a feeling of connection to the child you love (heart),  and the skills and confidence to communicate everything that is important to you, clearly and respectfully (voice).

I look forward to seeing you soon.  Stay in touch.  Be well.  Lori
