“Parenting On Track” is a program for families who are on track and want to stay that way. It is for families who are beginning to experience the challenges of parenting in the 21st century and “Parenting On Track” is for families who are struggling and ready for a program with a sound philosophy and strategies that get results.

I am committed to providing programs that are relevant to the times we live in, take into account the individual nature of every family, are based on a strong philosophy and common sense strategies that can be incorporated into every family over time.

In the end, our programs can be summarized in 3 Steps - Identify the Challenge, Introduce the Solution, Experience Results.

Step 1: Identify the Challenges

Families everywhere face similar challenges when raising children. It doesn’t matter if children are 2 or 20 or whether it’s a traditional, single or blended family the challenges include:

• Attitude
• Morning and Evening Routines
• Independence
• Responsibilities & Privileges
• Chores
• Sibling Rivalry
• Rebellion
• Fighting and Telling
• Contributions
• Mealtimes and Bedtimes
• Homework

Step 2: Introduce the Solution

For more than 18 years, parents have been attending this program and recommending it to their friends for 2 reasons - it makes sense when they hear it and they feel successful when they try it.

1. Building the Foundation

Without a strong foundation, parenting can feel like a hit or miss proposition.

We start by helping you create a Road Map for Success by identifying individual and Family Values. You have the opportunity to write a Mission Statement that brings clarity to what is important in YOUR family and how to stay on track during challenging times. Next, we look to clarify Beliefs and Attitudes that impact your family in both positive & negative ways. This is when you begin to move from a re-active form of parenting to a pro-active form of parenting. And finally you create time lines for training which supports Cooperation and Independence in your children.

Children don’t grow out of - they grow into whatever they are doing today

Children ALWAYS do what works, parents consistently do what does not



3. One Problem - Many Solutions

A fight between siblings, a bad attitude, dishes left on the counter, kids running late, and homework left to the last minute are a few of the challenges or “problems” parents want solutions to. You learn in class that these are not problems, they are symptoms. Trying to change the family dynamic by focusing on these symptoms is time consuming, frustrating and never leads to significant change. Wouldn’t it be easier to solve the problem ONE TIME?

Identifying the 1 Problem in a family leaves you free to focus on strategies that create a more cooperative, respectful and relaxed family. Strategies include: When to eat ice-cream, Choices, Redirecting, Firm and Kind Communication, Effective Parenting Styles, Encouragement, Family Meetings and the Crucial C’s.

My idea of parenting didn’t include 18 years of disciplining my kids. I focused my energy on building a strong relationship with my children. I was determined to enjoy my kids when they were young and to prepare them to leave at 18 with a sense of independence, enthusiasm for the future and the confidence to meet life’s challenges.



4. Action Plans & Celebrations

You create an action plan to use when class ends. This plan helps pull concepts and strategies together so you and your children continue to grow and develop as individuals and as a family. In a culture that celebrates perfection, we teach and encourage you to CELEBRATE improvement and progress. Celebrating on a regular basis keeps your family feeling encouraged, excited and committed. Couldn’t we all use a little more celebration in our lives?
