…parenting in a respectful, gentle way can actually be done, with little kids, without me having a personality transplant.
Joanna is a wonderful speaker, bringing funny stories/examples that include the day to day challenges parents are eager to solve. She sometimes role plays a situation so parents can discover the more practical, supportive approaches that will offer their children options as well as setting a foundation, a structure they can depend on.
We’ve had great success with the How to Talk workshops which also support the philosophy and approach we like to use with children and parents.
Joanna is delightful! I hope you’ll have a chance to see her in action!
Julie King did a Parenting talk on “How To Talk so Little Kids will Listen” for our library. Julie is a warm and engaging speaker, with humor spread throughout the program. She quickly establishes camaraderie between herself and the parents. Her real life stories and examples make the material easy to understand and make it more transferable to one’s own parenting approach. She allowed time for questions from parents, many of which seemed very challenging, but she was able to address the parents’ questions with practical suggestions. Julie King’s talk generated more public interest than we have ever seen with other programs. News of her upcoming talk spread via social media with parents chiming in about how important and helpful the “How To Talk So Little Kids will Listen” book was for them, calling it a “game changer”. Hundreds of parents were interested to come to hear Julie King speak.
I just wanted to thank you again for coming out to Brooklyn to speak to the women in our community. You did such an outstanding job. All day today I’ve been getting messages and regards from the audience about last night and how much they enjoyed, got to laugh, and mainly got notes of really great and PRACTICAL ideas! On the facebook group that I advertised the event, there’s now discussion and comments on the ad with everybody saying what they tried at home.
This workshop was WONDERFUL! It was so helpful to talk to Julie and hear her wise and experienced take on so many of the struggles that we go through as parents to little children every day. She has such a graceful way to help us see the impact of our words on our children and how we can shift our thinking and way we speak to really help them be problem solvers and want to cooperate. I highly recommend it!
