COMMUNITY
It's ironic, isn't it?  Before we have kids, none of us really think about the nuts and bolts of effective parenting.  And after we have a kid, who has the time?  So invariably, most of us end up doing the hardest job in the world - raising human beings - with little or no prior training, some hearsay knowledge and a lot of 'gut feeling'!  Can you imagine a doctor or a plumber doing their job this way?
What if there was a better way? What if some of the top experts (who are also parents, and authors of popular books for parents) came to you, at your convenience and shared their best tips? Hard as it is to believe, that's exactly what is happening here. Between May 1st - 10th, 20 expert book authors with years of research, clinical and personal experience are coming together to help you tune up your parenting skills.  And the best part? It's 100% FREE, 100% online and flexible enough to fit into any schedule, anywhere!          https://afineparent.com/positive-parenting-conference
