Without Spanking or Spoiling

This seminar is especially designed for parents of young children, aged infant to 7. You can learn strategies to add to your parenting toolbox that will increase the cooperation and decrease the tantrums in your home, both yours and your child's!  The book of the same title helps parents develop effective strategies to manage children's difficult behaviors and stay calm while doing it.
