This week I gave a 2 hour presentation to a wonderful group of parents – 120 of them to be exact at the Hinesburg Community School. I am always so excited to speak in front of a live audience. So Thank you to Kelli Brown for spearheading the event and getting the word out to so many parents in Chittenden County, Addison County and beyond.

I can feel people when I am in the front of the room.

Presenting allows me a chance to connect. I can feel the people whose hearts are cracking open and the skeptics that are holding tight to their worn out, tired beliefs. I can feel the doubt, the possibility and the hope. I can feel the love each and every one of these parents has for their kids.

Sometimes, most times, the presentations are a hit. People go crazy for the information and are counting the days before I am back in their community and teaching the highly acclaimed 6 week Parenting On Track™ program. But I am not teaching that program any longer. I am making the shift from live weekly classes to offering a hard hitting, power packed, top of the line multi-media experience.

Why? Because for years folks have been telling me two things.

1. They keep attending classes, year after year, because they need a refresher. I understand this. It’s why I teach. I need to be reminded of my decision to parent in this very intentional way. It goes against popular culture so re-committing each year is imperative for me. This is a way of “being” not just some hippy-dippy parenting program that will be out of style in 20 minutes. Good Lord, it’s already been around for over 100 years (remember, it’s not mine, it’s Adler’s). Parent’ tell me, they need a refresher. If I stop teaching, how will they get a refresher. Problem solved – bring me home!




2. Parent’s have been sharing their experience in the class with friends and relatives across the nation and those poor folks have never had access to the program. Well now they do.

Online Members’ Forum

The best part of this program though is that I am with every single person who purchases the Multi-Media Program for a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 365 days, I am there through the members online forum.

I sit down at my computer every morning at around 6:30 with a cup of tea or coffee. I open the forum and I read what parents are saying, what they are asking me and I respond. I talk to these parents. Every day. Without fail.

It is the equivalent of one on one coaching with a 20 year parenting veteran, any time of day on any topic. The only requirement, buy the program and do the program so that we speak the same language. Does it get any better than that? Not for me it doesn’t.

I love, love, LOVE this part of my job. I feel honored and grateful that parents invite me into their lives and that we can work together to create the families they dream of.

Thank You

So thank you. Thank you to the parents who took the time last week (and every time I speak) to come out for the events. Thank you to all my friends who showed up and shared their stories with me and told me that if I needed testimonials they would stand up and give them. Thank you to the skeptics and the supporters and everyone in between. Thank you.
