Join Us for a FREE Positive Parenting Solutions Webinar!

 
Get Kids to Listen without Nagging, Reminding or Yelling!

KCMetroMoms.com is excited to partner with Amy McCready, founder of Positive Parenting Solutions to offer a free live training webinar on Tuesday, March 8^th from 9-10 PM CENTRAL Time.

 

The session is…Get Kids to Listen without Nagging, Reminding or Yelling and Amy McCready promises that we’ll walk away with concrete tools we can use the next day and see results. I know you'll be especially interested in learning the 5 R’s of Fair and Effective Consequences. You can view, hear, and interact with Amy similar to that of an onsite seminar. Participants are not required to have a webcam.

 

You'll love the way this webinar is structured. Amy is right there LIVE, a video image of her is in the upper left corner of your monitor the whole time. As she talks with you, you'll watch her PowerPoint presentation that is packed with valuable background, information, and examples. She'll also stop from time to time to ask all of us questions about difficulties and needs when it comes to getting our kids to listen. We'll respond in a poll, and she tailors the presentation based off our responses.

You will also have the option to write in specific questions and she’ll address them, right there for you.

 

It's FREE and it's (this TUESDAY NIGHT, March 8th!)

All you have to do is RSVP and then kick back and learn the proven strategies to Get Kids to Listen without Nagging, Reminding or Yelling! 

 

Webinar seating will be limited so learn more and RSVP now! I'll look forward to welcoming you!

Chatter

Many of our fabulous KCMetroMoms.com members are connecting with each other via the online chat room.  Be sure and check it out when you've got some time to kill and just want to shoot the breeze with other moms.  I can tell ya' that I was on earlier this evening and those crazy gals were just having too much fun! 

Chatting can sometimes be so therapeutic in the sense that you can pretty much vent to other moms who will totally understand where you are coming from.  I will say though, be prepared to get a little hungry when you come to chat.  The topic of conversation will often turn to the subject of food; namely desserts!  I think it was the chocolate ganache that had everyone Googling.  Hope you can join us sometime for another dose of chatter.
