Debbie helps parents regain control of their homes and break the vicious cycle of yelling at their children through her hard earned positive parenting philosophies.
Early in her parenting role, Debbie would yell, plead, scream, give time-outs, spank, ask in a soft, kind voice. No matter what she tried...NOTHING worked.
At the expense of a failed marriage, a short stay in a battered women's shelter with her 3 children, and new parenting counsel from professionals…DEBBIE finally realized something had to change.
Debbie realized that in order for her life to change...SHE had to change.
Debbie was introduced to The Positive Parenting Philosophy...and from that point forward, Debbie has been forever changed.
Debbie has spent the past 30 years perfecting her techniques to coach parents to achieve the following results:
· Have your children following your directions, without yelling.
· Dramatically decrease tantrum times
· Go grocery shopping happily with your children by your side
· Have your children doing tasks without you reminding them 100 times.
· Transition your kids from one location to another with ease
· Have children in bed by 8:30pm, without a fuss
And those are just to name a few!
Over the years and after working with parents all over the globe, Debbie discovered one universal truth. We all love our children and want to do our very best for them.
Debbie empowers her clients with education about why kids do what they do and what your actions mean to them. Debbie hosts Positive Parenting Pep Talk Podcast and is an invaluable resource to parents all over the world. Debbie, Welcome to the show!
