Inside/Out Parenting for our KIDZ off the GRIDZ (LeadLifeNow)

Congratulations on proactive parenting, and that you’re here to learn more! You’ve mentally inventoried the techno-scenes at home: computer use, screens on at mealtime, games played, passwords, and filters set. You try to pull your Kidz away from these screens, but they’re krazyglued. You try to increase their face-to-face social time. The cacophony of dings, tings and pings from cell phones during mealtimes, make a conversational flow no-go. LeadLifeNow Whole Parenting Workshop is your time to take care of You in this 24/7 life role. Experience the connections between reactivity/proactivity and internal/external cues. Get tools to manage and direct these. Turn off the screen–let’s get face-to-face for hands-on learning. We’ll tap into your smartbrain (logic), emotion IQ, sensory responses, and actions. Walk away with insights, tips and tools. Get why LeadLifeNow Whole Parenting is just that.
