The pandemic has drastically altered my life, how about you? I am readjusting to a new routine and I'm offering you free daily Zoom parenting webinars (this link is to the Facebook page) during Safe at Home Quarantine. I am happy to contribute and do my part to help all you parents (and grandparents) survive parenting on quarantine.
Time for ALL free Zoom Positive Parenting Meetings: 11 AM Pacific Time. Noon Mountain Time. 1 PM Central Time. 2 PM Eastern Time
Monday - Learn how to teach self-calming to your children. You will also learn the tool of using I-messages so your child hears you when you make a request.

Tuesday - Natural Consequences

Wednesday - Logical Consequences part 1

Thursday - Logical Consequences part 2

Friday - Family Team Building

During these 6 weeks I will teach the entire curriculum live on zoom.

Each day will be one half hour lesson.

There is no fee to attend the live sessions.

I will be using the RCB book and workbook.

The recordings will be posted to my Positive Parenting Online Recorded Class which you can purchase for a special pandemic price of $99 plus mailing charge.

book, workbook and Dial-A-Discipline

access to ALL daily recordings during the class plus including ALL past zoom meetings

3 live 60 minute group Q&A calls: Friday, June 12 at 9am EST, Friday, June 26 at 9pm EST and Sunday, July 5 at Noon EST.

Discounted private coaching ($100/hr).

Beginning July 10, the price will resume back to the pre-pandemic price of $199 for lifetime access.

I am surviving parenting on quarantine with you.

In December, I had moved in with my daughter, Briana, and her family in Louisville, Kentucky to help. My daughter, incapacitated with morning sickness, pregnant with her 3rd child, needs help. As her morning sickness dissipated in mid and late January, I was again traveling and teaching. I also taught a class in Louisville that Briana and her husband attended. What a great class! Then the epidemic, now pandemic hit. I guess it is grace of God that I am quarantined with Briana's lovely family in rural Kentucky.

I am glad I am not quarantined alone in either California or New York.

Eldon and Arlo (my grandson's) had their last day of school a couple of weeks ago. We are adjusting to "Safe at Home" quarantine, which is what our governor calls it. I'm used to having a good amount of time while they are in school to do my work. Having them home has certainly been an adjustment for me as well! I would have loved to jump on the Zoom free conference frenzy right away. However, my days have been spent cooking, cleaning and most importantly, entertaining my 6 and 3 year old grand kids.

When it became apparent I am here awhile, I bought a travel trailer. I put it in the backyard so I could have my own space and retreat when I needed it. Plus, I have always wanted to have a "glamper". Following many families that are living in and renovating their RV"s, I get so many great ideas for ways to fix up my trailer. As it turns out, many of these families homeschool their kids. I get so many ideas for things to do with the kids while we are at home and essentially homeschooling. My favorite is #boredombuster. Go follow me on Instagram as I that is where I share the #boredombusters and other fun activities that I do with Eldon and Arlo.

We've finally settled into somewhat of a routine.

At the encouragement of many friends and clients, I will begin teaching on Zoom. I am a little nervous. Will I be able to keep a schedule in the midst of this chaos? Do you really need help with behavior challenges with your kids while we are in this crisis? If my experience is any indication, I would say yes. I am still following my own parenting advice best I can. Luckily, there are 3 adults in the house and we can take turns. If someone is getting fed up, there is usually someone else that can step in and take over. I am still getting edgy at times. First, I have picked the topic I need to refresh! Now I am offering the things that my audience most needs to learn.

The webinars will be just 30 minutes.

For my sanity and yours, I will break the topics into half hour segments. I will teach daily, Monday through Friday, at 11am Pacific, Noon Mountain, 1pm Central, or 2pm Eastern. The webinars are live on Zoom. So you must attend at the meeting time. The recordings are available for purchase for $99 .This includes access to ALL the recordings since April 3, and ALL new content as it's created. Plus you will get the book, workbook and Dial mailed to you.

Will you help spread the word and help parents all over the world?

I would really appreciate your support and encouragement to help me make these free webinars available to everyone. There are so many parents in this world, struggling and suffering. Which means their kids are receiving the brunt of the parents stress. I CAN HELP MAKE THIS BETTER! So please both attend free zoom classes and share with your social networks, , and to help spread the word.

That is all for now. I surely hope to see you soon on one of these free zoom parenting webinars. And please feel free to ask questions below.

Be Safe at Home and Happy Parenting!

Debbie

How to Improve Your Child's Executive Functioning Skills Without All the Arguments This School Year

Do you have any homework?" "I'm not sure..." "What do you mean you're not sure? Where's your agenda?" "I think it's in my room...somewhere."

Sound familiar? If you're having this conversation multiple times each week, you're not alone. Whether your child is in elementary school or preparing to graduate from high school, you want them to be ready and on top of their priorities.

So why do they keep missing deadlines, losing assignments, and starting things the night before they're due? It's because executive functioning skills, like time management or prioritization, take time to learn.

Webinar Highlights:

Ensuring kids stay on top of their schoolwork without feeling like a nag

Using Site maps, Google calendars, and other tools for staying organized

Identifying smart strategies for tracking assignments

When to leave things up to your child, step in to support, or recruit outside help

Keeping kids engaged

Opening the lines of communication

On April 27, 2020, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention at the Department of Justice hosted an online webinar, "Understanding and Combatting Cyberbullying and Digital/Online Hate."

Watch the Webinar

Objectives

To provide an overview of cyber hate and cyberbullying and how they reach and affect our nation's youth

To discuss the grooming process by hate groups, who try to recruit youth via different online platforms

To offer appropriate responses and Internet safety strategies for parents, teachers, and community youth workers to help build protective factors for vulnerable youth

Presenters

Angelie Montesa, Crime and Intelligence Analyst at the San Jose Police Department

Daniel Kelly, Associate Director of the Center for Technology and Society at the Anti-Defamation League

Chuck Cohen, Vice President at the National White Collar Crime Center

Gerri Ratliff, Deputy Director of Community Relations Service at the U.S. Department of Justice

Summary

Ms. Montesa discussed internet safety and how parents can play keep kids safe online by:

Setting profiles to private

Turning off GPS Location

Validating followers and following

Setting parent controls

Controlling app purchases

Talking to kids about online safety

Mr. Kelly described the spectrum of online hate and harassment and how these actions target specific identities, especially on social media and online gaming. Understanding the rules of online games spaces and how to report bad behavior is an essential step to protecting safe cyberspace.

Captain Cohen (Ret.) illuminated how online criminal radicalization can happen through exposure to extremist propaganda, recruitment, and indoctrination. Often the process of radicalization resembles the grooming process used by sexual predators.

Ms. Ratliff shared case studies about how education and mediation can address and combat cyberbullying, online harassment, bias incidents, and hate crimes in local communities.

Do you feel the need to be more organized and/or more productive? Do you spend your day in a frenzy of activity and then wonder why you haven't accomplished much? Then these time management tips are for you - they'll help you increase your productivity and stay cool and collected.

1. Realize That Time Management Is a Myth

This is the first thing you have to understand about time management, that no matter how organized we are, there are always only 24 hours in a day. Time doesn't change. All we can actually manage is ourselves and what we do with the time that we have. Appreciate this. Internalize it. And move on as soon as possible to the next tip.

2. Find out Where You're Wasting Time

Many of us are prey to time-wasters that steal time we could be using much more productively. What are your time bandits? Do you spend too much time Internet surfing, reading email, Facebook posting, texting, or making personal calls?

In a survey by salary.com, 89 percent of respondents admitted to wasting time every day at work:

31 percent waste roughly 30 minutes daily

31 percent waste roughly one hour daily

16 percent waste roughly two hours daily

6 percent waste roughly three hours daily

2 percent waste roughly four hours daily

2 percent waste five or more hours daily

Are you a time-waster? Tracking daily activities helps to form an accurate picture of how much time you spend on various activities, which is the first step to effective time management.

3. Create Time Management Goals

Remember, the focus of time management is actually changing your behaviors, not changing time. A good place to start is by eliminating your personal time-wasters. For one week, for example, set a goal that you're not going to take personal phone calls or respond to non-work related text messages while you're working.

4. Implement a Time Management Plan

Think of this as an extension of the third time management tip. The objective is to change your behaviors over time to achieve whatever general goal you've set for yourself, such as increasing your productivity or decreasing your stress. So you need to not only set your specific goals but track them over time to see whether or not you're accomplishing them.

5. Use Time Management Tools

Whether it's a planner, a software program, or a phone app, the first step to physically managing your time is to know where it's going now and planning how you're going to spend your time in the future. A software program such as Outlook, for instance, lets you schedule events easily and can be set to remind you of events in advance, making your time management easier.

6. Prioritize Ruthlessly

You should start each day with a session prioritizing the tasks for that day and setting your performance benchmark. If you have 20 tasks for a given day, how many of them do you truly need to accomplish?

7. Learn to Delegate And/Or Outsource

Delegation is one of the hardest things to learn how to do for many business owners, but no matter how small your business is, there's no need for you to be a one-person show - you need to let other people carry some of the load. Delegation shares the tasks you'd be better off leaving to someone else, so you can make the most of the time that you have.

8. Establish Routines and Stick to Them as Much as Possible

While crises will arise, you'll be much more productive if you can follow routines most of the time. For most people, creating and following a routine lets them get right down to the tasks of the day rather than frittering away time getting started.

9. Get in the Habit of Setting Time Limits for Tasks

For instance, reading and answering email can consume your whole day if you let it. Instead, set a limit of one hour a day for this task and stick to it. (The easiest way to do this is to assign a solid block of time to this task rather than answering email on demand.)

10. Be Sure Your Systems Are Organized

Are you wasting a lot of time looking for files on your computer? Take the time to organize a file management system. Is your filing system slowing you down? Redo it, so it's organized to the point that you can quickly lay your hands on what you need.

11. Don't Waste Time Waiting

From client meetings to dentist appointments, it's impossible to avoid waiting for someone or something. But you don't need to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs. Technology makes it easy to work wherever you are; your tablet or smartphone will help you stay connected. You can be reading a report, checking a spreadsheet, or planning your next marketing campaign.

A Bonus Tip: Your Time Belongs to You

And here's the most important time management tip of all. You can be in control and accomplish what you want to accomplish - once you've come to grips with the time management myth and taken control of your time.

Our Presenter
