Seminars & Workshops : Topics

If you look closely at the picture, though we all have a common goal we may not always be going in the same direction.

We try to offer all non custodial parents the opportunity and information to build an arsenal of parenting skills which stand up to the scrutiny of any court room or detractor.

Even the best of the parenting experts will tell you that they don't come with instructions. By inviting those folks who stand as examples of great parenting to share their experience with us we become better parents ourselves. Through many years of watching and listening to various court cases I have developed relationships with many people in the community who are happy to share with us. By association with the group and building a personal relationship with these people parents have a chance to not only increase their own abilities as parents but build credibility which is useful later when we seek more time with our children. Often times we have witnessed the non custodial parents time limited because of allegations of parental inadequacy.

The people who come to speak to us and offer their wisdom range from child care providers to nutritionists to law enforcement officers to senators to council members to bankers to investment councilors to chefs to psychologists to polygraph experts and experts in many child care and health areas. All of these people have or will play a part in our lives and the opportunity to interact with them in a close setting is invaluable.

Something as simple as what to feed my child for 4 days a month besides fast food can help on a number of levels...

Having a credible source give us food suggestions for financial as well as health reasons can make our lives easier and give us another skill to pass on to our kids. When jr. goes back to the custodial parent full of caffeine we are wreaking havoc with the Child's schedule first and foremost.....send a drum set instead...lol

How to talk to our kids about everything from sex to money and be seen as someone they can trust is something we can all improve on and has lasting effects all throughout their lives.

Finally through information we arm and fortify ourselves against the many, often unsubstantiated allegations that we are not as capable as the custodial parent affording us more time with our children down the line.
