My Name is Not "Beth's Mom"

Do you ever feel like people have forgotten your name? Or worse that they never took the time to learn it? Being a parent is the most rewarding (and demanding) role you play on life's grand stage.

Let's face it, though, it can be easy to lose yourself in the glamorous lifestyle of parenthood. In this program Donna reminds you of the importance of developing your own interests and talents. She reminds you that you are wonderful just the way you are and that your dreams have a place to exist within your family circle. Now when people ask "Are you Beth's Mom?" she replies, "Yes, and my name is Donna."

The Secret to Raising Responsible Children

Do you ever wonder how your children will survive the adult world without you? Do you wonder how your "I don't want to wait!" preschooler will manage credit card debt and car loans? Are you concerned that your "Just five more minutes" kindergartner won't get out of bed in time for college classes or his job? Do you worry that your "no one else is wearing a coat" first grader will catch colds in the winter because she isn't dressing warmly?

It is never too early to start teaching our children how to live responsibly. Following the principle that actions reap consequences, this program gives parents tangible ideas on how to teach children to be responsible for money, schoolwork, possessions, and relationships.

Parenting to Your Child's Personality

Do you worry that your child is too bossy, talkative, critical, or lazy? Do you wonder why you can't seem to connect on an emotional level with your child? Do you worry about how your children's peers, teachers, and your friends perceive your child? Do you find yourself making excuses for your child's "so unlike you" behavior?

Understanding your child's personality will help you relate better to your child. You will be able to recognize her strengths and help her develop them fully, while also helping her improve weaker areas.
