Over the years, I’ve encountered many common issues and needs that come up among almost all parents and families. So, I’ve developed a set of fun, informal and interactive family workshops [some for parents and children together; some for parents alone], as well as a set of informative, candid presentations I give to school, community and other grownup groups.
