ABOUT THE GUEST:  Paul Zolman’s childhood experience was the opposite of love, and he learned & eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. His Book, “Role of Love: The Most Effective Way to Demonstrate Love Everyday,” and journal, “Role of Love Journal: Practicing Love Every Day”

Hey Friends~ 
Are your kids very different from one another?  Un huh!  I thought so!!  
Yet, you do your best to hold equal parenting for all of them.  You do your best to treat them the same, to have the same rules with the same consequences pertaining to them all.  
Yet, the response from one is compliance & understanding, the next is sadness and a crushed spirit, and another feels you are unfair!  
In addition to this confusion, the next time you correct them, they switch roles!  The compliant one gets angry, the angry one has a crushed spirit, and the one that was crushed last time thanks you with understanding and strength!  
Join in today to learn what is happening and help to navigate!  
 
Always cheering you on!

Hey Friends~ 
We live in a world where more and more is expected of us, we are bombarded with information everyday.  Sharon Fillmore, the “Mary Poppins of Family Wellness,”  says that families can learn to see through it all, and recognize the truth from the fluff.  
But HOW?  How do we get the squirrels out of our mind and stay focused?  How do we get our kids to stay focused?   
 Sharon gives fabulous ideas. As we raise creative independent thinkers, asking ourselves, “What is the best thing to say, in this moment, at this time?” will help them continue talking without shutting them down.   What they think might surprise you!  Be sure to listen to the end as Sharon shares a story that really shows how a 10 year old brain works!

Hey Friends~ 
Recently, I was in a Facebook  conversation where a parent asked if they should allow their speech delayed child to play sports.  This parent had many fears around what might go wrong.  I understand this.  But we cannot live in the “What if… ?”
 
When fears are set aside, there are so many positives to see!  I believe the positives outweigh the risks!  Here are 10 reasons for you to put your child into sports - even when there is a speech or language delay, of whatever sort!
