CalmCourse: Stop Destroying Kids-Create Behavior Plans That Work
Session Description: When I hear that a child has a Behavior Plan—or some kind of behavior checklist using sad faces or check marks—my first instinct is the student is being set up for failure. 90% of the time, the behavior gets worse; the child’s confidence is destroyed; teachers and parents are left frustrated.


What does your child or student struggle with in school: blurting out, not listening, trouble at recess, aggression, shutting down, refusing to do work, touching inappropriately, making noises, lack of focus and attention?

If we don’t understand the root of these behaviors, we will make them worse, drain time away from class instruction and destroy a child’s confidence.  Join us as we discover exactly why our kids exhibit these and other behaviors, then develop specific, concrete steps to improve behavior, build a child’s confidence and make teacher’s lives easier. This is perfect for parents, teachers, counselors and administrators. CEU's provided.

CalmCourse:  Stop Reacting: 10 Ways to Create a Calm Home

Session Description: This is NOT the life you imagined when you got married and had kids. Tension rules our homes. Moms and Dads are reactive, stressed-out and have to “manage” each other.

First, we must understand our kids’ brains so we can meet needs instead of treating outward behavior. Otherwise, we will be stuck in endless cycle of saying no, no, no. Ever wonder why your kids may appear lazy, unmotivated, careless, picky, defiant? Struggle with social skills, impulsivity, sensory issues, anxiety and more? We’ll unlock the keys to understanding your kids so we can be proactive.

The quickest way to change your child is to first control yourself and your own anxiety. We will learn how to stop controlling everyone else’s behavior and control our own, which puts responsibility for kids’ behavior where it belongs—on them! We’ll talk about ways to handle sibling fights, chores, power struggles, messy bedrooms and more. Very practical.

If you are serious about changing your home environment and willing to work at it, this is for you. It’s liberating and will change every part of your life. Sign up and we'll send you links for all three sessions immediately. You can listen anytime!

CalmCourse: Medication & 15 Other Tools to Help Children Succeed

We all share the same goal: we want to help our children succeed. The most important question to ask is this: what tools can we provide our kids to make sure they succeed academically, behaviorally, socially, etc.?

 

Medication is one tool parents can use, but there are dozens of other tools as well. We will look in-depth at all the tools available to parents, along with their pros and cons. It's a very balanced view.


Listen to Session 1 for free by clicking here. It is very helpful.

Our focus will be on the following:
What are all of the tools we can use to help our children succeed?

If your child is on medication, what other tools can we provide that will increase the effectiveness of the medication? What tools can we use to wean a child off medication if that is the goal (under a physician’s guidance)?

If you are currently deciding whether to medicate, what are the questions you should ask yourself, your doctor, teachers? What are the pros and cons? What are healthy and effective alternatives to medication?

If you are a teacher, what alternative tools can you provide your students in absence of medication to help with behavior, focus, etc.?

How do we talk to kids about medication? Is it right to allow a child to determine whether they take medication?

What role can nutrition, exercise and alternate therapies play in helping a child be successful?

Parents and teachers will have A LOT of questions so we encourage your active participation. We will answer specific questions.

TeleCourse: Relationships 911

Most couples are struggling. Relationships are difficult. Marriage is extremely difficult, especially when you have more intense kids. Good people find themselves questioning their relationships, wondering how they got to this point.

Married couples have been told several lies. We’ve been told that our lives need to revolve around our kids and that our spouse is supposed to meet our needs. We’ve got a checklist a mile long filled with resentments and fifteen good reasons our spouse needs to change. We think the grass is greener somewhere else. We’d leave if not for the kids.

 

We continually react to each other out of fear and anxiety—over money, sex, miscommunication, pride and how to raise the kids. Men withdraw and become emotionally distant. And before you know it, couples have drifted apart and no longer have anything in common. We may not be screaming at each other on the outside, but we are on the inside. It’s time to calm your marriage and your home, so you can build a great marriage that lasts…and that you want to be in because you like your spouse, not out of obligation.

We’ll help rebuild broken marriages, strengthen relationships and help each spouse learn how to relate in more healthy ways to THEMSELVES, not just to each other. We’ll help withdrawn or emotionally distant spouses connect. We will discover the real purpose of marriage and ten proven steps to build your marriage on a strong foundation. During the Q&A sessions, we can cover the ticking time bombs that threaten our relationships such as internet pornography, infidelity, addictions, depression, money issues, life with a blended family of step-kids and step-parents.

We’ve been distant for a long time, just living in the same house. What are a few steps we can take to reconnect? My spouse just admitted to cheating—is there any way to fix this? My spouse is controlling and will not let me have my own email account, what can I do? I don’t even think my spouse likes me anymore and it hurts. I don’t know what to do. I want to buy your CDs but my husband says they are a waste of money-should I buy them behind his back? How can I communicate my feelings with my wife without her feeling like I am criticizing her? I found my spouse on internet pornography sites and am humiliated—what should I do? We are getting a divorce, what can I do to alleviate my kids’ anxieties? I am a single mom--is it ok to date or go out with friends now and then?  I feel so guilty. Our babysitter always calls in the middle of our date and we rush home—how can we enjoy some time alone? My spouse is drinking too much—how do I handle this?
