On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "Teen Drug Abuse" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, a bit of humor, and, Paul played Part 2 of his interview with DEBBIE GODREY, from "Positive Parenting".

DEBBIE GODFREY, from Louisville, Kentucky, and the owner of "Positive Parenting", will join us to discuss how parents can "regain control of their homes and break the vicious cycle of yelling all day at their children through my positive parenting philosophies".

FROM HER WEBSITE:

"It feels like only yesterday when my children were little and I would have the never ending battles of asking my children to do something, only for them to ignore me.

I would yell. I would plead. I would scream. I would give time-outs. I would spank I would ask in a soft, kind voice.

No matter what I tried...NOTHING ever worked. Sound familiar?

It took the complete crumble of my marriage, a short stay in a battered women's shelter with my 3 children, and new parenting counsel from professionals to make me realize that something had to change.

I realized that in order for my life to change...I had to change.

That is when I was introduced to The Positive Parenting Philosophy...and my life from that point forward forever changed.

And guess what? Yours can too!

Through a combination of YouTube content, Facebook groups, self paced workshops, and private coaching I can help you…

• Have your children following your directions, without yelling.
• Dramatically decrease tantrum times
• Go grocery shopping happily with your children by your side
• Have your children doing tasks without you reminding them 100 times.
• Transition your kids from one location to another with ease
• Have children in bed by 8:30pm, without a fuss

​And those are just to name a few!

​If you are a parent who is at the end of their rope with nowhere to turn, ask me about finding peace & balance in your home again through positive parenting methods"

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "Your Child's Basic Needs" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, a bit of humor, and, Paul played Part 2 of his interview with Teacher/Author AVIGAIL GIMPEL.

AVIGAIL GIMPEL, currently living in Israel, and the author of "HyperHealing", will join us to discuss her results from over twenty-five years of research, development, and application of cutting-edge intervention programs for her clients, children, and hundreds of students, with regard to ADHD. She will be presenting hands-on skills and information that we have never heard before!

FROM HER WEBSITE:

"I am a College lecturer, practitioner in private practice, parent educator, and author of HyperHealing. Married for 20 happy glorious years, and a mother of six beautiful children, (ages 7-19).

I began my career as a special education teacher in an inclusion classroom, with children of all ability levels, unique gifts and challenges. I loved all my students, but the most intriguing were the students with “special energy”, the ones who were trying to drink from a waterfall instead of a glass. The ones who dreamed all day, but then said something that no one else thought of. The ones whose engines ran on instant gratification, and had not developed habits and routines to focus their explosive energy. They were creative, funny, out of the box and… struggling. They had trouble with follow-through, organization, social skills, routine and emotional regulation. It was time to fill their tool kit with strong skills and habits. I developed an intervention program full of novelty, discovery, structure, responsibility, routine, and faith in each child’s ability. My special energy kids began to flourish.​

The second wave of my career launched when my children were receiving ADHD diagnosis one after the next. While neurologists insisted that my children had a chronic brain disorder which could be “cured” or managed through the use of stimulant medication, it did not seem that my children’s struggles were due to a Ritalin deficiency. Now that my own children were being affected by ADHD, I left no stone unturned in my quest for deeper understanding and solutions."

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "Kids+Hospitals+Dinosaurs" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, a bit of humor, and more, Paul played Part 2 of his interview with author RACHEL BRUNO.

RACHEL BRUNO, the co-founder of a successful Cyber Security business, will join us to describe the series of horrific events that occurred in her life after Child Protective Services took away both of her children - after her infant had become injured while in the care of a nanny, will join us to discuss her book on this subject, "Fractured Hope: A Mother's Fight for Justice".

FROM HER WEBSITE:

"Rachel Bruno is a wife and mother of two young boys. She holds a bachelor’s degree in communication and an MBA from Pepperdine University. She had hopes of starting her own business, and everything seemed to be going according to plan, until the unimaginable happened in 2015.

​Rachel had her 7 week old baby and toddler son seized by CPS when her newborn sustained critical cranial injuries while in the care of a nanny. She was evicted from her own home and had to endure a grueling court case to prove her innocence, so her children could be returned to her. Then she pursued suing the authorities who erroneously accused her and put her children through a battery of traumatic tests without parental consent. She won her case in court and was awarded 7 figures in damages.

Rachel never knew that in the United States of America, parents and children were being denied their constitutionally protected rights under the guise of “what’s in the best interest of the child.” It has become her mission to educate, and to ensure this doesn’t happen to any more families. Her hope is that the laws tied to financial incentives be de-funded.

This experience made Rachel reconsider her priorities. Today, she is a stay-at-home mom, who works part-time leading a group of young mothers called MOMs INC at her church. She is an advocate for parental rights, and is on a mission to educate and edify others who may be going through difficult times through her testimony of God’s goodness."
