Workshops

We offer workshops to parent, school and community groups. The workshops are based on practical examples and excerpts from our book. Current workshops are listed, and registration information is at the bottom of the page.
"I reprinted (with permission) several of the 'back-to-school' tips in our first parent newsletter of the year. I thought the information was so valuable, I then organized a parent workshop for October, where the authors came to present to our school council. Extremely positive comments came out of the session, our parents found your Mom-tested ideas very practical and easy to use."
