Parenting presentations are an excellent way to get parents talking and connecting!
Kathy Slattengren provides exciting, interactive
parenting presentations and has been invited to present at many schools, libraries, parent groups and churches.
These workshops are designed to get parents thinking about how they are parenting and what changes they might want to try.
The presentations can be tailored for the needs of your group. A brochure
