Teaching Kids Attitudes & Behaviors for Success

Today, June 12, 10:00am EST, we're going to pose the question, "Does our education system prepare our children for life?"  Even though it's not totally up to the schools ~ parents are the first & most influential "teachers,"~ what DO we need to teach kids if they're to be successful in life?

My special guest is David Machin of www.humanbean.com, a fabulous website and service that helps you prepare your children for life success with great books, games, and other resources. Call HumanBean your bestie in parenting services because it will introduce these qualities, attitudes, and behaviors directly to your children via entertaining stories and interactive game (something they're already comfortable with and probably using).

To participate in our discussion or ask David questions, call our toll free studio line 877-864-4869 anytime during the show 10-11 am (EST).

  1. John Eric Jacobsen says: Local Author Teaches Hypnotic Parenting Skills! Thursday February 14, 2013 Dear Talent Coordinator: Attached please find my promo for a “show idea.” My objective is to become a guest on your show to discuss the success parents in our community and nationally have experienced with my new book, “Kids in Trance.” I believe it will be an exciting and informative interview for your audience because it teaches parents how to use clinical hypnotherapy, meditation and the power of suggestion with their kids for problem solving. All of this can be done in the comfort of their own home. I’ve been a member of the community for almost 20 years and fine-tuned my techniques by teaching at Lourdes Wellness Center in NJ. I’ve witnessed children being forced to grow up faster than they should. Kids are exposed to violence on TV, neglect or abuse in the home, illness, peer pressure, bullying and a host of other challenges. I believe your audience will find my information solution-driven and fun. As parents we have a tremendous amount of power and obligation to help our kids reach their full potential and beyond. Our children are a reflection of who we are and our own works of art. My goal has always been to teach our kids that they are masterpieces! Thank you very much for your time
