You’re a Better Parent Than You Think!
You’re a Better Teacher Than You Think!
Parents, teachers and anyone who works with children today are having their confidence, peace of mind, and authority undercut by a number of widespread myths that have been pushed upon them by the experts, the media and almost everybody else. Victimized by these false notions, many parents and educators are plagued by groundless worry, guilt and frustration. This presentation will foster self confidence, peace of mind, and will put authority into your hands where it belongs. Alternate titles for this presentation are:
- Standing Strong
- Laughter: The Sanity of Family
- Laughter: The Sanity of Discipline
- Parenting: Then and Now
Marriage: Small Steps, Big Rewards
Making small personal changes can bring about dramatic improvements in a relationship. Overcoming any resistance to making those changes will not only lead to a better marriage but to more self contentment. Using illustrations familiar to most spouses, Dr. Ray offers humorous and good-sense guidance for a stronger marriage.
Back to the Family
Back to the Family presents the results of a three-year, national search for strong families. It reveals those characteristics most common to strong families as well as the struggles and difficulties most families face. The results will reinforce some traditional ideas about family life while offering some reassuring surprises.
Lessons for Life from Children
Children are consummate teachers about life. Their lessons are innocently straightforward, yet hard-hitting. Any grownup, be he/she a parent or former child, will personally relate to these lessons for life. This presentation will leave grownups a little more grown-up, and happier for it.
All presentations are packed with humor and real-life examples. They will leave their audience laughing, feeling emotionally upbeat and much more self-confident. Plenty of practical ideas will be offered for dealing with children more calmly and easily.
Content and examples will be tailored to fit the audience.
