| Parents Tool Talk Radio |
|
I will be on a 25th anniversary trip during this month's show, but my producer Chris Gooley will be filling in for me by airing a recording of last December's teleseminar. The topic was "Holiday Parenting Issues," and I'm sure you would agree that now is a good time to provide information on this topic. We discussed practical tips for teaching children about getting presents, giving presents, and several Santa issues. So join us for this month's edition of Parents Tool Talk will air at 12 noon EST on Friday, December 12th. To sign up for show reminders and receive complimentary bonus resources, join the teleseminar announcement list at:

Our newest service, the Parents Toolshop Affiliate Program, launched last month and I am encouraged that a number of people have already signed up!
We are putting the finishing touches on an affiliate "user manual" that we hope will give our affiliates all the practical know-how they need to manage their affiliate accounts. We're also working on additional resources our affiliates will receive on a monthly basis to help empower them to connect with more people, spread the message of Parents Toolshop and provide them financial gifts in return!
It's not too late to become an affiliate! If you or someone you know want more information on the Parents Toolshop Affiiliate Program, just visit the affiliate home page at:

| 2009 Parents Toolshop Classes |
|
I'm finalizing my winter schedule, which should come out in early January. However, if you are involved with a Dayton / Miami Valley or Cincinnati organization that might be interested in sponsoring a 2009 Parents Toolshop class, you can still 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.
Interested in a full-length tele-class just like what I offer here in Dayton, Ohio? If 10+people are interested, I'll do it! Just email me at pawel@parentstoolshop.com and let me know what day/time you'd prefer.
