PLEASE FORWARD THIS
NEWSLETTER TO YOUR FRIENDS/RELATIVES
As I graduate each
class, I am encouraged to know what a difference
these programs make in people's lives. Here are
just a few testimonials from recent graduates:
"Taking this class has made me a better parent
and a better individual. One of the best
workshops I ever attended. I use the skills
from the workshop on my job also. Everybody
should have The Parents Toolshop book."
--- Dereka Smith
"If everybody had access to the information
taught in this class and applied it to their
parenting, children and parents would
definitely be happier and healthier" -- Lisa
McCoy
"Once I put the lessons to use in our home,
we saw results immediately!. I
recommend this class and Jody's training to
everyone. I am now able to help others find
solutions to situations in their
household using the what I learned in this
class." --- Ryan McCoy
"After learning the Cooperation Toolset in class
this week, I put it to the test with my
strong-willed children. We didn’t have a
single argument or power struggle the entire
week! Isn’t that a small miracle? I truly am
learning so much, I can’t wait until we meet
again!" — Lena Guilfoil...due to graduate soon!
President's News:
I almost have
all the information I need to start creating my
Legacy Plan, which will include a long-term
business expansion and team-building plan. Part
of that plan is to get an abridged version of
The Parents Toolshop published by a national
publisher. (I've been self-publishing all these
years!) I have the first draft done of both the
book and book proposal and hope to finish it and
have it to agents and/or publishers no later
than by the end of the summer.
News for
Family-Professionals:
NEW Parents
Toolshop Advisor Certification available.
Parents Toolshop® Advisors are authorized to
provide individual coaching,
consultation, counseling and solution-based
therapy to parents using Parents Toolshop®
teachings, including the proprietary Universal
Blueprint® Parenting Success Formula (UBPSF).
They are different from certified Parents
Toolshop "Group Facilitators" who teach
educational programs using The Parents Toolshop®
parent education curriculum.
We encourage
every counselor, coach, CFLE, social worker, MFT,
psychologist and pediatrician to consider this
certification so they can be sure parents
receive the most accurate and effective advice
possible. We know you have the training and
skills to provide one-on-one services, but we
also know that even Masters and PhD programs in
these professions do not provide or mandate
courses on practical parenting skills for our
degrees. We want to support and supplement your
training and expertise in advising parents by
providing the content for your advice...and
exactly what you can recommend parents say and
do in any parenting challenge, using the
Universal Blueprint® Parenting Success Formula.
For more
information, go to:
http://www.parentstoolshop.com/HTML/PTadvisor.htm
PTC Group
Facilitators who are on "Active" status
as of January 1, 2008 may be "comped in" as
Advisors based on their professional
credentialing. Those who have allowed their
certification to lapse can obtain both
certifications by renewing their Group
Facilitator certification. (See last
correspondence you received from us for what
that would entail.)
Beginning
January 1, 2009, PTC will only refer parents to
PTC "approved" Advisors for consultations on
parenting issues. To be approved,
professionals need to complete the "Advisor
Certification Process." When you see our Legacy
Plan this summer you will understand the
importance of this certification and just how
many referrals it could potentially bring to
your practice.

Heads-up!
We will be migrating our entire 2000+ mail list

will get an announcement explaining what to
expect and how to stay on our mailing list
without interruption.
It will be a very
busy Spring...doing what I love best...training
parents, foster parents and family-service
professionals. By my next newsletter, this summer, I
will have had a chance to slow down a bit, regroup
and be ready to plan the next exciting phase of The
Parents Toolshop's growth. I'm looking forward to
sharing my vision and seeing how we can work
together to make it happen.
Yours in service to families,
Jody
