Parents today face a confidence crisis.

What is a good parent? How can we know if we are good parents?

On any given day, most parents are plagued by a lack of confidence and insecurity: What am I doing wrong? Am I wrecking my kid? Is my kid wrecking me? Is there any good news?

Yes, there is both help and hope for the families in your community!

Invite parents and grandparents of every age and stage to join authors, speakers and veteran parents, Steve and Valerie Bell, as they share the simple secrets to good parenting in the seminar, Getting Your Kids to Play on Your Team.

According to Steve and Valerie, "It's possible to be both a competent and confident parent!"

Parents can adjust their focus to confidently get the job done that they want to get done.

In this session, the parents in your community will learn the difference between a good parent and a controlling, interfering parent. "In-your-face" parenting over-manages kids, forcing them to keep their distance rather than drawing them to your side. This immature style of parenting has more to do with the parent's needs than those of the child.

By contrast, good parenting identifies a child's real needs and seeks to meet those needs in an atmosphere of lavish love and trust:

"Good parenting is the awareness of the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of a child, combined with the meeting of those needs."

In this practical seminar, parents will learn how to:

• Become a "need-meeter".
• Build an "I'm-crazy-about-you" love attachment.
• Establish core values for the family.

It's time that parents - and kids - start playing on same the team!
