What if I don't have time for an in-person discussion group?

  • -Join us for a virtual program on the phone and on the web
    I hear it way too often: "I WANT to talk to other parents, but I don't have the TIME!"

    Well, here is a short but in-depth program that will connect you with other parents on four weekly conference calls and on the web using an award winning curriculum.

  • -This is a four-week program consisting of three parts:
    • listen to Sue Blaney's Mom's Choice Award-winning 3-CD audio program,
    • participate in weekly one-hour conference calls to discuss the special topics in each CD
    • in between meetings connect with your peers in a private Facebook group.
    • Learn more....we will begin in late Jan/early Feb....
