12 Survival Tips Learned from Parenting 12 Children
Shared from the perspective of a foster/adoptive parent, this presentation articulates twelve practical ways that parents can respond to the behaviors of abused and neglected children in healthy ways. The presentation focuses on the need for parents to change themselves as opposed to attempting to "fix the kids." Participants leave feeling motivated and empowered to make a difference in the lives of children by changing themselves. (Also available as a seminar).
Disruption Prevention
Geared toward adoption and foster care professionals and therapists, this keynote teaches professionals how to prepare parents to make a lifetime commitment to a child or children. Strategies for parenting difficult children are shared with helpful hints on how to pass those techniques and attitudes on to parents (Also available as a seminar.)
A Glimpse of God's Heart: How Trying to Change My Kids Changed Me
Based on my book of the same title, this presentation, with a target audience of Christian Women, explains the things I learned about God from attempting to change my children. This presentation is filled with humor and funny stories and is very well received.

Teenagers are angry and love to argue -- but we as parents also have our own issues with anger and refusing to argue. Learn about anger and why it is there for both teens and parents and how we can avoid both to parent our kids with a sense of humor that allows us to live a life of joy.
