Speaking Topics

Raising Community-Minded Kids

One of today’s parenting hot topics is children and their sense of entitlement. Teresa identifies some of the root causes of “entitlement” as she addresses our culture of over-parenting, over-scheduling, and over-indulging our children – which often produces self-centered children who lack gratitude, empathy, problem solving skills and other basic abilities. “RCMK” offers easy and useful, age-appropriate ideas to counter this growing problem. Moms will learn ways to foster a We-focused attitude in the hearts of their children, instead of a Me-focused attitude, ranging from simple chores completed at home — a child’s first community — up through adolescence.

Anger Management for Moms identifies the path of anger; what triggers it and options for calming it — and overcoming it.  Moms will come away with tips and tools they can use immediately to: manage their anger in the heat of the moment, reduce the potential for anger down the road, and teach simple age-appropriate expressions of anger and conflict resolution to young children.
