Joke of the Day

Why we love children....
 
Nudity:  I was driving with my three kids on a warm summer's evening when the woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my five-year old shout from the back seat, "Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!"
 
More nudity: A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with women grabbing for towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement, and then asked "What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"

Time is running out for my next teleclass series...
 
SAVING YOUR PARENTING SANITY
 
Parenting tests your stamina, your nerves, your emotions, and at times even your sanity.
 
Just when you've made it through one phase of development your child grows a bit older and it's a whole new scenario. School, friends, homework, texting...it's always something.
 
Parents want to raise kids they can be proud of.
 
SAVING YOUR PARENTING SANITY starts MONDAY NOVEMBER 15TH.
 
This series is only offered twice a year - once in the fall and once in the spring.
 
It runs for six weeks and is conducted on the telephone for your convenience.  Parents who want to improve their parenting skills and become more comfortable using positive discipline are invited to join me on Monday, November 15, 2010 from 8:00 - 9:00 pm EST.

Testimonials:
 
"My confidence as a parent, at times, has been pretty low. You gave me enormous support and knowledge to help me demonstrate positive parenting skills. I cannot tell you how significant this has been for me. I'm not perfect, but I have a much more positive outlook on my parenting and my my family's future."
 
"You provided great teaching moments. You taught what are age appropriate expectations of children, how to communicate in a way that nurtures a child's psychological growth and how consequences can work for non-cooperation."
