RadParents Core Training – Live in Grass Valley, CA
Join Annie Keeling and other parents for a 4-hour parent training. Together, you’ll explore the pitfalls and traps that drive parents when trying to get their child to change behaviors.

Gain a new view of your children and their behavior to understand what’s really going on and how to most respectfully help them learn and grow.
Define parents’ natural responsibility and how it fits into family-centered homes.
Build connection instead of chaos, increase cooperation, and help your child learn with creativity, surprises, and a sense that you – the parent – have got this!
