This is an exciting month for the Parents Toolshop! My team and I are premiering a number of exciting new programs and services that we hope will aid you on your journey to more effective parenting and a healthier family! Of course, I wouldn't have gotten here without your continued support, so thank you!

I know how valuable your time is, so instead of a long quarterly newsletter, we are starting a monthly newsletter with short announcements about new programs we are launching and will send you more detailed information separately, if needed. We will strive to send you no more than one communication per week and are segmenting our client list so we only send information to you that is relevant and will bring the most value to you.

I also want you to know that your feedback is extremely helpful in determining what projects to put our energy into. If you ever have a thought or comment you think may help me improve our services, please let me know. You can email me anytime at info@parentstoolshop.com.

Last month I premiered my new internet radio show, Parents Tool Talk! Despite several trial runs, there were still some unexpected issues, but once our guest arrived the interview on bullying was phenomenal! I've been telling parents and professionals about it all month long! Because this is a completely new program using a new technology, we are still deciding if we will continue doing a radio show and, if so, how often and what the format will be.

So the next show is Friday, November 14 at 12 p.m.(Eastern Standard Time). In the spirit of the holiday season, we have gathered together a cornucopia of content and format samples that we're considering for future shows. We'll air segments of interviews with guests (including our pilot show where I was the guest), ideas for humorous recurring sketches and segments written exclusively for Parents Tool Talk, and of course a live, open question and answer session. We want your feedback about these options and will be offering you a gift for filling out a short survey after the show.

We will only send reminders about the show, how to participate, and links to the survey and gift to our teleseminar series subscribers. To receive an exclusive invitation to this special event and to receive reminders and bonus resources for future shows, just sign up for the series (it's no cost) at http://www.parentstoolshop.com/tele

I am also open to any ideas your may have for topics or guest experts to interview. Please email your suggestions to info@parentstooltalk.com.

This is a last-minute, by-special-request, custom-designed workshop so I honestly don't know when I'll offer it again. It is two Thursday evenings in the Dayton area and I still have seats available.

Join me to discover the 3 key tools for preventing sibling rivalry and 5 steps to resolving sibling or peer conflicts in ways that teach children how to resolve conflicts independently and peacefully. Of course, there will be scripts and solutions for responding to the most common sibling challenges.

• To register, go to the Siblings Register Page at parentstoolshop.com.
• Not in the Dayton area? This program will be modeled closely to the Solving Sibling Strife teleseminar, which you can purchase for only $10. I will also record this workshop and make the edited audios and materials available later to everyone on our list.

Some of my biggest sources of excitement have been the quality teleseminars I have conducted and recorded over the last year. The real-life questions from parents, combined with the best material I could provide have made these teleseminar one of the most valuable resources we've ever produced. To provide added value, I'll be featuring a different teleseminar resource package every month, with additional resources not originally included. I hope you'll check them all out as I"m sure many of them will be a benefit to you.

This month's featured teleseminar... Halting Bedtime Hassles

In this teleseminar, we discussed practical tips for getting kids to bed (and staying there), getting them to sleep (for the whole night), and making bedtime a pleasant experience for the whole family. Parents received step-by-step instructions and scripts for preventing and resolving the top ten bedtime hassles. Please check out the product description page, if only to hear the 2-1/2 minute audio featuring 5-year old Brady. There, you can also listen to a short preview excerpt of the call. Just to go http://www.ParentsToolshop.com/tele/bedtime.

I hope you know how truly grateful I am for your referrals. So I'm pleased to announce that now you can earn commissions for spreading the word --- through the Parents Toolshop Affiliate Program! I'll send you a formal invitation in about a week with more details, but you can get on board now by going to our affiliate page: http://www.parentstoolshop.com/affiliates.

Holiday Shopping - I hope you choose to send something from the Parents Toolshop to someone on your holiday gift list! My team and I will work hard to get every order out in time. You can help us by getting your orders in 14 days ahead of time for media mail, or 8 days ahead of time for priority mail. If you want us to include a gift card or ship directly to the gift recipient, please tell us in the "comments" section of the order.

2009 Programs - If you are involved with a Dayton / Miami Valley or Cincinnati organization that might be interested in sponsoring a 2009 Parents Toolshop class, please contact me for more information about the different program options available. I will work with each organization to negotiate a customized program that is a win/win/win for the sponsor, parents, and Parents Toolshop. You can request this "Sponsor Info" by emailing me at pawel@parentstoolshop.com. I am also available outside my local area. Get my speaker kit for details.

Thank you again for your support and for your time in reading this month's newsletter. I appreciate any feedback you can offer. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Until then, I am...
