NY Times Featured Parenting Coach Hosting a Free Webinar – And You’re Invited!
GUEST POST FROM CARA:
Did you know that Amy McCready, presenter of tonight’s free parenting Webinar (at 9pm EST), was recently featured in a New York Times article, “Shouting is the New Spanking?”
Here’s a peak into what Amy has to say:
“I’ve worked with thousands of parents and I can tell you, without question, that screaming is the new spanking,” said Amy McCready, the founder of Positive Parenting Solutions, which teaches parenting skills in classes, individual coaching sessions and an online course. “This is so the issue right now. As parents understand that it’s not socially acceptable to spank children, they are at a loss for what they can do. They resort to reminding, nagging, timeout, counting 1-2-3 and quickly realize that those strategies don’t work to change behavior. In the absence of tools that really work, they feel frustrated and angry and raise their voice. They feel guilty afterward, and the whole cycle begins again.” (Excerpted from the NY Times online)
Want to know what you should be doing instead of yelling? Come to our free Webinar tonight — hurry and RSVP while there are still spots left! Oh, and did I mention it’s free? And it’s not the kind of ”free advice” your (helpful) mother-in-law freely gives you… this is really, truly helpful, targeted, tested tips that will make life with your children so much more enjoyable!
