Praise for Parent Workshops from Participants
Teach Your Kids to Think workshops are more than professional development for parents. They are an avenue for growth that opens a door to seeing what's possible—namely, that ALL kids can learn to think and think better, regardless of learning style, personality type, gender, etc. A great strength in what Maria offers is that ALL families, regardless of style, can adapt and use the strategies and tools in ways that work for them.-Julie Wood, mother of two boys, 5 and 10

The Teach Your Kids to Think workshops promote the important idea that kids are intelligent in many ways, only some of which involve schoolwork. This crucial idea is made real with simple, positive strategies for helping kids develop social, emotional, creative, and practical life skills. Thanks in part to what I learned in the workshops, my kids think through problems more effectively, plan more carefully, and are more self-sufficient. -Gisele Goetz Erlach, lawyer and mother of a tween and a teen
