| For Parents
At Noel Janis-Norton’s seminars, you’ll discover more effective ways to gain cooperation from your children without reminding, repeating and nagging. Noel works in California three times a year. She primarily trains parents at public and private seminars and she also occasionally speaks to teachers and administrators at in-services for schools. We strongly encourage BOTH PARENTS to attend together. There will be some time for questions about individual family scenarios, and it's ideal to have anyone in a parenting role hear the same information. |

| First Steps The essential foundation course. First Steps to Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting is a half-day "beginners" course (although many parents find it helpful to take more than once). This seminar teaches positive approaches to modern parenting and how to get more cooperation from your children with less stress. It includes Noël's 16 Steps to Success with easy to understand examples. Once again, we recommend that if possible, both parents attend for the best results.
