FROM the MT. Vernon Community School PTA: 

Celebrate Calm Workshop January 21, 2014

Posted on January 6, 2014 by MVCS PTA

Please join us for a special workshop on Tuesday, January 21 from 7-9pm: Kirk Martin presents the Celebrate Calm Workshop. You will not want to miss this amazing speaker and this program that is highly regarded throughout the country! Childcare will be provided in the cafeteria.

Why Bring Kirk Martin and the Celebrate Calm Workshop to Mt. Vernon Community School?

The Celebrate Calm Workshops are like nothing you’ve ever experienced. This is not your typical parenting workshop with 25 people in attendance. Kirk Martin tackles the most challenging issues (defiance, disrespect, bullying, sense of entitlement, sibling fights, and more) with specific, concrete strategies that work in the real world. Kirk’s goal is generational transformation. Here is what others have said:

• “Hands down the best speaker we have ever had. It’s like he has a camera in our home! I finally feel like someone truly understands our family.”
• “The presentation is practical, laugh-out-loud funny and generate significant buzz in the community!”

On January 21, 2014, the MVCS PTA will host Kirk who will present his most popular two-hour workshop — Stop Defiance & Disrespect: Eliminate Power Struggles & Sibling Fights.

Do you want your child to take responsibility for his schoolwork, chores, and attitude? Tired of bribing and negotiating with your kids? It’s time to stop the yelling, arguing, and power struggles with toddlers and teens. We promise you will laugh and leave with a dozen practical strategies that really work to:

• Get your kids to listen the first time.
• Eliminate power struggles and yelling.
• Stop defiance, disrespect, and sibling fights.
• Get kids off video games/screens without a fight.
• Create stress-free mornings, homework time, and bedtime.
