For the Love of Kids 2006 Practical Parenting Conference

Michele Borba, Ed.D. - Keynote Speaker

KEYNOTE TITLE: Parents Do Make A Difference: Raising Kids with Strong Character, Strong Mind and a Caring Heart.

KEYNOTE OVERVIEW: We all want the best for our children, but what are the traits that really matter for enhancing their character and chances for a fulfilled and successful life? Children are not born with those traits that enhance character and success: they are learned, and that means you can nurture, teach, and reinforce them. This session will show you how. You will learn the essential parenting practices that cultivate caring kids, how to discipline to stretch moral growth, and ways to nurture the very virtues you want most for your children. You’ll also learn how to help kids manage anger, stand up to temptations, and make good choices so they can handle the challenges of life without you. Best yet, you’ll leave with an individual plan to nurture your own family’s values that you can use immediately and be inspired to do so. Here’s how to make a real difference on how your child turns out.
